AI Systems & Agents
Design and build AI workflows, agent setups, and production systems that do real work instead of demos.
AI Software Engineer
Founders, product teams, and builders who want to ship
Ship Software
at AI Speed
I help founders and teams turn AI into real products, systems, and shipping workflows. Consults and custom builds. Not hype. Not courses.

Work With Me
What I Help With
Serious AI engineering help. You bring the problem. I help you ship the system.
Claude Code Enablement
Get your team set up with practical AI coding workflows, repo patterns, and shipping habits that actually stick.
Custom AI Software
Apps, internal tools, automations, and full-stack builds where AI is part of the product, not a bolt-on gimmick.
Engineering Advisory
For founders who want a clear path: what to build, what to skip, and how to ship faster with AI without thrashing.
Process
From Idea to Shipped System
Simple process. No 47-slide theater. Just enough structure to move fast.
01
Tell me the mission
Fill out the form with what you need, where you are stuck, and what success looks like.
02
Scope it cleanly
I review the request and come back with a clear path: consult, build, or not a fit.
03
Build or advise
We either implement the system together, or I help your team ship it with better AI workflows.
04
Ship and stabilize
Production-ready output. Not a prototype that dies in a demo folder.

Who's Building This Stuff
Matt Johnston // AI Software Engineer
I'm Matt Johnston. I build software with AI every day. Not theory decks. Not course funnels. Real systems for real work.
My lane is AI software engineering: Claude Code workflows, agents, custom apps, and the boring-but-critical glue that makes AI useful in production.
If you want someone who can help you ship, not just talk about the future, you're in the right place.
FAQ
Straight Answers
Quick context before you reach out.
AI software engineering work: custom apps, agent systems, Claude Code / AI coding workflows, internal tools, and advisory for teams that need a clear path to ship.
No. I do project work and consults. If you want free learning, YouTube is the place. If you want help shipping something real, use the form.
Fill out the project form. Tell me what you need, timeline, and constraints. I'll review it and reply if it's a fit.
No. Founders, operators, and small teams are all fine. You don't need a perfect tech stack. You need a real problem and a willingness to ship.
YouTube. That's where I show AI coding workflows, builds, and practical systems in public.
