Softwarethat survivesMonday.

I'm Valentino Rusconi, a senior software engineer working on industrial IIoT platforms. On the side I build websites, apps and first product versions for freelancers and small companies. You deal directly with the person writing the code.

What I build for you

Six areas. You can take any one of them on its own, or go from the first idea all the way to release.

  • CH011–2 weeks

    Ideation & concept

    You have an idea but no clear shape yet. In one or two sessions we go through it: who is meant to use it, which part is genuinely needed, roughly what it costs. Afterwards you know whether it is worth the effort.

    You get

    • A written summary of users and problem
    • Scope at three levels: minimal, sensible, complete
    • A rough estimate of effort and cost
    • A technology recommendation, with reasoning
  • CH022–4 weeks

    Prototyping

    A clickable prototype before the first line of production code exists. You can show the idea to customers, partners or investors and check whether it lands. Mistakes at this stage cost almost nothing.

    You get

    • An interactive prototype, shareable in the browser
    • A complete flow instead of isolated screens
    • One guided feedback round
    • A clear basis for deciding how to continue
  • CH036–12 weeks

    MVP development

    The first real version, live and usable. With accounts, a database and payments, as far as you need them. The scope stays small so you can launch quickly. The foundation still holds two years later.

    You get

    • A running product on your own domain
    • Sign-in, data storage and payment integration
    • Automated deployment, backups and error monitoring
    • Handover to your team, or I keep running it
  • CH042–6 weeks

    Websites & web apps

    From a simple company page to an application with a login. I build the site myself instead of assembling it in a page builder. With a content system if you want to change text and images yourself.

    You get

    • Design and build from one person
    • Content management system on request
    • Load time under one second
    • Hosting, domain and mail set up for you
  • CH058–16 weeks

    iOS apps

    I have two of my own apps on the App Store, from first sketch through Apple review. So I know where things get stuck and what Apple rejects, before you have to find out yourself.

    You get

    • iPhone app, with Apple Watch support if useful
    • HealthKit, push, in-app purchases and subscriptions
    • Submission and support through the App Store review
    • Store presence: copy, screenshots, categories
  • CH061–3 weeks

    Architecture & second opinion

    If an existing system has become slow or expensive, I take a look at it. I read the code, measure, and tell you which changes actually pay off. Sometimes the right answer is to leave it alone.

    You get

    • A written code and architecture review
    • A list of actions, sorted by impact and effort
    • An effort estimate per action
    • Support for your team during implementation

The durations come from completed projects. After a first call you receive a written quote with a fixed price or a capped budget.

02AI for SMEs

AI that takes work off your hands.

For small businesses, sole traders and small teams: I teach you how to use AI in everyday work and help automate repetitive tasks. Practical, based on your work and with no prior knowledge required. Available online across Switzerland, or on site by arrangement.

  • Less time in your inbox

    Summarise and categorise enquiries and prepare draft replies. Your team reviews each reply and approves sending.

  • Prepare quotes faster

    Turn structured customer enquiries into quote drafts. You stay in control of prices, scope and commitments.

  • Find knowledge more easily

    Organise internal guides and find relevant information faster. We agree access permissions and suitable data sources before implementation.

Start small. Check the value. Then expand.

  • 1:1 AI introduction

    CHF 390

    2 hours online · 1 person · one-off

    • Short introductory call and preparation included
    • AI basics, useful prompts and checking results
    • Practise two of your tasks using anonymised examples

    CHF 1,290

    • Handle confidential data and incorrect answers
    • Shared templates, action plan and a 45-minute follow-up
  • Automation pilot

    from CHF 2,400

    One clearly scoped workflow · one-off

    • Map the process and check whether AI is needed
    • One workflow connecting up to two existing tools with suitable APIs
    • Tests against agreed examples and manual approval
    • Documentation, one-hour handover and 14 days of fixes within the agreed scope

All prices in CHF, plus VAT if applicable. Training at the stated fixed price; pilots receive a written fixed quote or cost cap after a feasibility check. Software subscriptions, API usage, travel and ongoing operation are excluded and discussed in advance. Additional work only with approval at CHF 150 per hour. No subscription required.

We start with a free 20-minute call. Together we choose one task and agree how to measure its value. Before implementation, we clarify data, access and costs. Confidential data only goes into tools we have approved together; outputs are checked. I do not promise blanket savings.

03Pricing

What it costs

Two options. Either you pay monthly and I look after the site continuously, or you commission a project at a fixed price and get it handed over finished.

Projects at a fixed price

No subscription and no lock-in. You commission, I deliver, you get everything handed over. The figures below are entry prices for the smallest sensible scope. What your project actually costs is in the quote after a first call.

Who builds this

Seven years of industrial software that has to run reliably in the field. Plus the habit of building whatever interests me in my own time. Both help on your project.
