## About

David Kooi runs Skylark Creations LLC, a solo "product lab" based in Colorado that uses agentic development workflows to design, build, and ship production-grade apps across iOS, Android, and web. He maintains a portfolio of 20+ active experiments. He writes about AI, philosophy, and product strategy on Uncaged Minds (uncagedminds.substack.com).

## Working Together

David takes on a small number of client engagements at a time and is open to new
ones. To start a conversation, email hello@skylarkcreations.com.

The work is independent AI-orchestration consulting: one human orchestrating
planning, verification, and delivery across a fleet of AI agents, inside a
client's codebase and working practice. He is one person with an unusually good
harness — not a delivery shop with a bench of engineers behind it.

How an engagement runs:

- Async by default. No standing meetings; a call is scheduled when a decision
  needs one, and everything else arrives as artifacts.
- Verified turnarounds, usually same-day or next-day. On one engagement, 6-11
  verified merges per day was the normal rate over a two-week stretch.
- Nothing a client says evaporates. Every round of feedback is broken into
  numbered points, and each point gets a written disposition — a faithful
  paraphrase, a ruling with its reasoning, and a pointer to where it landed.
  Disagreements are argued in writing rather than quietly dropped.
- Spec and a kill-gate before code. The opening milestone is designed to prove
  or kill the core technical bet in days, before any build-out.
- A second AI model family is prompted to refute the work before a client sees
  it, and whatever survives is re-verified against live code.
- Billing is on engaged attention, not machine time. Adding agent capacity never
  raises the invoice, ramp-up and admin are not billed, and a quiet week
  legitimately bills near zero.

Shapes of work he has actually taken: running a product engagement end to end,
from contract through deployed code; and inverting mid-engagement from builder
to reviewer and coach when a client turned out to have already built the thing.

Where this is a bad fit, named plainly: standing-meeting cultures, fixed-scope
builds thrown over a wall, and staff augmentation. The loop runs on client
reactions, so it works best when someone on the client side can take a pull
request, argue a finding, and merge. Gate discipline also reads as slow if you
count switched-on features — some finished work sits dark behind a comparison it
has not passed yet.
