Your technical co-founder, on demand.

You've got the vision. Maybe you've even built a prototype with AI. I'm the senior engineer who handles the hard parts — payments, integrations, production polish — so your product actually launches.

AI built 80% of your product. The last 20% is where projects die.

Payment processing. Third-party integrations. Production deployment. UX polish. The things that turn a prototype into a business. You don't need a consultant forever — you need someone to close the gap, launch your product, and show you how to keep building.

From prototype to product

I close the gap between what AI helped you build and what your business needs to launch.

Launch Your Product

You built something real. Now let's get it in front of users. I take your prototype and handle everything needed to go live — so you can focus on your business, not your infrastructure.

  • Production deployment & hosting setup
  • Payment processing (Stripe, etc.)
  • User authentication & security
  • App Store / Play Store submission
  • Domain, DNS, and SSL configuration

Production-Ready Polish

The difference between a demo and a business is in the details. I handle the integrations, edge cases, and UX refinements that AI can't get right — the last 20% that matters most.

  • Third-party API integrations
  • UX flow refinement & responsive design
  • Error handling & edge case coverage
  • Performance optimization
  • Analytics & monitoring setup

AI Enablement & Handoff

I don't create dependency — I create independence. I stabilize your codebase, then set you up with Claude Code and AI tools so you can ship features on your own.

  • Codebase cleanup & stabilization
  • Claude Code workspace configuration
  • AI-friendly code architecture
  • Developer workflow documentation
  • Hands-on training session

Ongoing Technical Partnership

A senior engineer in your back pocket. For founders who want expert guidance without the overhead of a full-time hire — on your schedule, at your pace.

  • Architecture guidance & code reviews
  • Sprint-based feature development
  • Technical decision-making support
  • Vendor & tool evaluation
  • On-call for critical issues

How it works

Corey Byrum

Hi, I'm Corey.

I'm a staff software engineer with 15+ years of experience shipping products across web, mobile, and AI. I've seen the full lifecycle — from scrappy startup MVPs to enterprise-scale systems.

I started Outer Peak because I kept seeing the same pattern: talented founders with great ideas getting stuck on the technical details that turn a prototype into a real business. AI has made building easier than ever, but the last mile — payments, integrations, production polish — still requires deep expertise.

That's where I come in. I use cutting-edge AI tools like Claude Code to deliver faster, and I set my clients up to iterate independently after launch. My goal isn't to create dependency — it's to get you live and hand you the keys.
