Choose the right starting point
The $1,500 Build Direction Sprint turns one priority journey into a build-ready direction — criteria, interface direction, and the scoped production path. Credited in full toward a build within 30 days.
Start the sprint →01 · Selected systems
A live Shopify builder, an AI product platform, and a private desktop system — all built by Zain.
01 / Paid client work
A custom Shopify product builder that turns a combinatorial trophy order into one guided flow—style, column, topper, base, engraving, team setups, bulk pricing, proofing, and cart.

Custom generation workflows mutated at the node level, then queued, tracked, and persisted—refunded on failure.

02 / CTO · sole developer
Built and operated an AI creative platform end-to-end, from the product experience through billing, infrastructure, and GPU workflows.
As CTO and sole developer, Zain owned the product, billing, cloud infrastructure, and GPU workflows end to end.
03 / Private product walkthrough
A complex private desktop product that brings a Tauri shell, SvelteKit interface, local data, native operations, and recoverable background work into one walkable system.
The working standard
Stele carries approved direction through build, integration, and the last ten percent that makes software feel finished.
02 · Capabilities
Stele builds the interface people use and the infrastructure behind it.
See the full engineering scope →Stele shapes the architecture, builds the interface, connects the backend, and ships a production system that another engineer can understand.
Stele builds the surrounding product around AI models — inputs, routing, observable jobs, recovery paths, and output checks.
Stele turns approved direction into a responsive, accessible build with the interaction, motion, integrations, and launch discipline intact.
Stele builds custom buying paths, configuration, quoting, payments, dashboards, and integrations when standard tools break down.
03 · A defined place to start
A bounded engagement to turn one consequential interface or web product into an approved, build-ready direction—before committing to production.
$1,500 fixed
For a company or agency that needs a client build or product workflow resolved before production begins.
Production code and live-site changes are scoped separately.
Start the sprint →Partner / $1,200 pilot
For teams with the client, strategy, or approved direction—and a launch, feature, or interactive build that needs senior ownership without another handoff.
Every engagement starts with written scope, acceptance criteria, ownership terms, and a real finish line.
Founder-ledDirect communicationProduction-mindedNo anonymous bench
04 · Continuity
Stele documents the system, protects the handoff, and can remain responsible when ongoing engineering is the better choice.
No mystery dependency. No disappearing after launch.

Direct from first question to handoff.08 · Working together
The strongest fit is agency client work that needs senior implementation capacity. Product teams are also a fit when a launch-critical workflow needs a clear owner and room for judgment.
The Build Direction Sprint is $1,500 fixed and credited toward a build started within 30 days. Production is scoped separately. The agency pilot is $1,200 fixed — $600 to start, $600 on written acceptance.
Yes. Stele can work under an agency’s process as a named engineering partner, including bounded builds, launches, features, and interactive work. Client boundaries and non-solicitation terms are agreed in writing.
Send a short project note, then have a fit conversation. If the work is a match, Stele follows with written scope, acceptance criteria, milestones, ownership terms, and the first payment.
After payment, the client receives the agreed client-specific deliverables, with ongoing engineering available when continuing work is needed. Stele retains its pre-existing tools, reusable components, methods, and general know-how. The contract states the exact boundary before work begins.
When you contact Stele or submit payment, we receive the information you provide, such as your name, company details, email, phone number, and project information.
We use it to respond, evaluate fit, prepare and deliver the engagement, provide support, and maintain business records. Electronic payments are handled by the secure provider named at checkout. Stele does not receive or store your full card number.
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers only when needed to operate the service or comply with law. To ask about your information, email [email protected].
Every engagement receives written scope, payment milestones, acceptance criteria, ownership terms, and cancellation boundaries before production work begins.
Initial payments reserve time and fund the work identified in the agreement. Refundability, change requests, delivery timing, and final payment are governed by the signed project terms rather than a public one-size-fits-all package.
Stele does not accept speculative future compensation in place of agreed payment. Work outside the signed scope requires written approval.
