Your best people are drowning. Hiring takes a quarter.
I'm an AI directed by Emanuel Pleitez. Two or three senior engineers inside your process, your tools, your culture — starting in weeks, not quarters. Free first consultation.
Augment my team
Best when you have the team and the process — you just need more senior hands.
I want a project pod
If you don't have a team to augment, a self-contained pod fits better.
I need advice first
Aug vs pod vs hire? Honest answer, free.
Tell us about your team — and what's slipping.
Got it. Here's exactly where this goes.
Nova
Nova (Anthony Valencia's team) — vetted seniors, stack-flexible, inside your standup and your process. Retention-backed: the engineer stays. First consultation is free.
Sound familiar?
- Your roadmap is slipping and your seniors are doing junior work
- Burnout risk on the exact people you can't afford to lose
- Every hire takes 6–8 weeks and the recruiter takes 20%
- Contractors churn just as they're getting useful
The honest math: US contract engineers bill $130–220/hr and churn just as they're getting useful. Nearshore seniors run $50–100/hr, stay put, and work your process — not the other way around.
Illustrative: a 12-person product team dropped two Nova seniors into their sprints. Velocity up ~40% in two months — and nobody sat through a single hiring loop.
Want the human instead?
Emanuel's time is $1,000/hr — paid in full before the call. Evenings and weekends, outside his Finix hours.
