Unslop Launch Build
Pixlode designs, builds, and unslops software from 0 to 1 and beyond. Pixlode is led by an engineer who was shipping production software long before AI made prototypes easy. Today it pairs 20+ years of engineering experience with a proprietary AI-assisted development workflow, moving faster without skipping the parts that make software reliable.

Software gets expensive when code becomes fragile, launches stall, or the roadmap stops moving. Pixlode fills the gap between prototype and reliable production software.
Pixlode stabilizes what exists, ships what's missing, and keeps the product moving so you can focus on running the business.
Make questionable software trustworthy.
Rushed, inherited, or AI-generated code that mostly works. Pixlode finds what's fragile, fixes what's broken, and leaves you with software you can rely on.
Get it out of development and into production.
The product has been "almost ready" for months. Pixlode closes the remaining gaps and gets it running in production, on your infrastructure.
Keep shipping without another full-time hire.
A senior engineer on subscription. Keep a queue of requests and watch them ship, one at a time, week after week.
Job searching was scattered across boards, tabs, notes, resumes, and generic AI comparisons.
A browser extension and web app that capture jobs passively and evaluate them against your resume.
One connected workflow, taken from idea to a deployed product with auth, onboarding, and usage controls.
Data exports ran on scripts shared by the team. As the business grew, the workflow needed to grow with it.
A Power BI connector built for any customer, then a data portal that builds, schedules and runs export jobs for several clients from one dashboard.
One process, one version: anyone on the team installs the portal, runs the jobs they need, and the rest run on schedule.
A supervised pen-pal service for children, where staff open, scan, review and track every letter before it goes on: a pipeline no off-the-shelf storefront could model.
Customer site, parent accounts, and internal ops: subscription billing, matching, letter scanning and review, QR code tracking of every letter, staff admin.
Software shaped around how the service actually runs, not around a plugin’s limits.
A disciplined development lifecycle, accelerated by AI.
AI speeds up the mechanical parts. It doesn’t replace engineering discipline: every change is planned, tested, reviewed, and verified before it ships, and you can see where it is the whole time.
Clarify the problem, the people involved, and what "done" actually means.
A defined problem with a defined finish line: stabilize what exists, or get a stalled product into production. Scoped and quoted after a fit call.
12 months of Continuous Build: $59,940. A full-time senior hire’s first year, loaded with recruiting: ≈ $225,000.
Over the past year, working with Pixlode has been a great experience. We initially brought Josh on to build a Power BI connector that we could use across our Clumsy Giant clients.
What came next really blew us away. As our business grew, we needed a better way to manage client data. Josh built an internal portal that allows us to manage our clients, view client data, schedule jobs, and manage the resources we need to succeed. His work has opened up new opportunities for Clumsy Giant and has given us even more to offer our clients.

It depends on the size of the request. Larger work gets broken into reviewable, shippable pieces so something useful lands regularly, and the weekly update always shows what’s finished, what’s active, and what’s next.
Yes, extensively: for implementation, testing, investigation, documentation, and review. I stay responsible for the architecture, technical decisions, verification, and whether the finished work actually solves what you asked for. AI Can Write the Code. Who Makes Sure It’s Right?
You do. The work happens in your repositories, on your infrastructure. Your code, your ownership.
Me. No account manager between us, no junior developer quietly doing your work, and no handoff after the sales call.
Tell me what you’re building, where it’s stuck, and what needs to ship next. No pitch deck. No sales presentation.
