Senior engineering,
by the hour.
I'm Nicolas Perez. I design, build and ship production software for founders and teams, the same way I ship my own SaaS products. No agency layers, no retainers, no six-week discovery phase.
- 12+ years shipping software
- 3 products I built and run
- Kickoff within days
I don't just build for clients.
I run my own products, with paying users.
Every product here was designed, engineered, launched and operated by me. It's the best evidence I can offer of what your hours buy: software that ships and keeps running.
The Destiny Blueprint
A personalised 80-page book, written on demand from a birth date, time and place, and delivered as a PDF in minutes. One-time checkout.
- Long-form LLM writing
- Swiss Ephemeris
- PDF generation
- Sales funnel
Your product could be next.
Have a SaaS idea? I'll take it from blank repo to launched, the same way I built these.

“When you book hours, you're not handed to a team you'll never meet. You get one accountable engineer who designs it, builds it, ships it and stands behind it.”
Nicolas PerezFounder, Awesome Factory
I've spent over a decade turning ambiguous ideas into software people actually use. Awesome Factory is how I work: a small, sharp studio where I take on client engineering and build my own SaaS products.
That second part matters. Running products like SoulDecode means I've dealt with the things that sink launches: billing edge cases, flaky deploys, LLM costs, conversion. You get that experience from the first hour.

Choose the number of hours you need and pay right on the page. I'll email you right after payment to schedule a kickoff and scope the work against your hours. Need more later? Book another block.
Anything on the engineering spectrum: building features, standing up a new app, integrating AI, fixing a stubborn bug, an architecture review, or shipping a SaaS from scratch.
No. We agree on a working window at kickoff so the project keeps momentum, but there's no countdown on what you've bought.
Yes. Payments run through Stripe, a PCI-compliant processor. Your card details go straight to Stripe over an encrypted connection and never touch this site.
That's my favourite kind of work. I've taken my own products from idea to paying users, so I know the path. Book a block of hours and we'll turn the concept into something real.
Let's build something awesome.
Book your first block of hours and we'll be writing code this week.
