What I Do
Best fit for founders with a clear idea and real budget who need something shipped.
You bring a clear problem and direction. I handle everything else — architecture, design, implementation, deployment — built and shipped in 3-4 weeks. One person, complete ownership, production-quality result. Not a prototype. Not a demo. A real product your users can log into.
Most teams are drowning in AI hype and building the wrong things. I'll cut through it — assess what's actually worth building, select the right models for each job, and deliver a working integration, not a slide deck. Typically 1-2 week engagements.
Strategic guidance for founders who need a technical partner without a full-time hire. Architecture decisions, build-vs-buy, hiring, vendor evaluation. I've taken products from zero to one across fintech, payments, and mar-tech — that breadth matters when every decision affects everything else. Lightweight monthly retainer, limited to a few teams at a time. A few hours a month gets you a technical co-founder's judgment on call, without the equity conversation.

I'm Dylan Farnsworth. I've spent over fifteen years building SaaS products across fintech, payments, and mar-tech. I co-founded Boardwalk Marketing and have held product and technical leadership roles at CoreChain Technologies, PaymentWorks, and Cogo Labs.
I work directly with founders and teams who need someone comfortable owning the whole picture — architecture, design, implementation, deployment — and pragmatic enough to keep things moving. Most of what I build now ships through AI-driven development workflows, and the results speak for themselves.
