Taking one or two problems at a time
Sixteen years in software delivery, from trainee to delivery director. I analyse how the work actually flows, design the system that fits, and build it — from a single automation to a full platform.
An answer within three days — yes or no, with the reason.

How this works
No agency, no account manager. You talk to the person who analyses the problem and builds the solution.
One form, five minutes. What you do, what hurts, and what it costs you now in hours or money.
How the work actually flows, where it breaks, what it costs. Within three days you get a plain answer — sometimes that software isn't what you need.
A system sized to your business: an automation, an integration, or a full platform. Working software, not a slide deck, and you can stop me at any point.
Code, accounts, data — all yours. I pick problems I want to solve and don't charge for this; all I ask is permission to write up what we did.
The filter
Being honest about this up front saves us both a week. Two conditions have to meet: the problem has to be interesting to build, and its effect has to be measurable.
Where I help
Analysis
Hundreds of projects taught me where work leaks. I map how it actually flows, where it breaks and what it costs — and give an honest answer on whether software is even the fix.
Systems
From one integration to a full platform: CRM, accounting, inventory, customer portals, data pipelines. Built to run without me, documented so anyone can take it over.
AI & automation
Agents, document processing, support bots — where they genuinely help, not where they demo well. The manual routine becomes a system that runs whether or not anyone remembers it.
Work
The write-ups are in progress. These are products I designed and built — my own, not client work. I would rather say that plainly than dress them up.
A child becomes the character. Text splits into blocks, each block becomes one narrated segment and one illustrated page, and the whole thing is printed on demand.
A brief goes in, a crew of agents writes the script and storyboards it, and you approve every scene before it is animated. Only what you signed off gets built.
Parents track habits, children earn points, points turn into rewards. Time-boxed challenges sit on top, with enrolment and submissions.
Books and games rented with deposits, availability calendars, extensions and overdue tracking. Stock is placed by barcode scanning, one shelf at a time.
About
Kon Fartusov
Systems consultant, Prague
I'm Kon. I joined a software company as a trainee in 2010 and have held every role since — developer, tech lead, project manager, delivery director. Sixteen years, one company, each of those chairs.
So I tend to know where projects slip. My work now is delivery, the bench and the process, plus a standing search for where the work can be simpler: fewer steps, less waiting, less routine carried by people.
On my own time I build products: an AI platform that turns a child's photo into an illustrated, narrated, printed book; a film studio driven by agents; a shop that rents physical things and tracks its own warehouse. That is where the four write-ups above come from.
The interesting problems are rarely the ones with a budget attached. A small business losing six hours a week to copy-paste has a better problem than most enterprise roadmaps, and nobody is going to solve it for them. So I take them on myself, on my own terms.
Questions
Anything where a business loses time or money to how the work is organised: manual routine, tools that don't talk to each other, a process nobody can explain. From a single fix to a platform.
Both. I analyse first — sometimes the answer is to change a process, not to buy software. When building is the answer, I build it.
Nothing, for now. I have a job I like; this is where I take on problems that interest me. Hosting and paid services are yours. If it grows into ongoing work, we talk then.
You get a plain answer within three days, with the reason. Often the reason is useful on its own — sometimes the answer is that you don't need software.
You do. Code, accounts, data — all yours, handed over at the end.
Yes. In that case the write-up is either anonymised beyond recognition or doesn't happen at all. Your call, agreed before I start.
I spend five to ten hours a week on this and take one or two problems at a time. Small things land in days; anything bigger, I'll tell you honestly before starting.
Start here
The more concrete you are, the faster I can tell you yes or no. There is no wrong way to fill this in — write it the way you'd say it out loud.
