Get the first version right.
I build founders' products end to end.
One senior operator, one client at a time.

You work directly with one senior person who owns the whole thing, strategy, design and engineering, instead of briefing a team and managing handoffs, or directing a freelancer who needs it. Nothing gets lost in translation, and one person is accountable for the result.

For a focused, brand-new build, yes, and it's an advantage. I've spent over fifteen years doing exactly this across mobile and web apps at every scale. One mind across all three keeps the strategy, the interface and the code coherent, with no decisions diluted in translation. And modern AI tooling, pointed by that experience, is what lets one person now deliver at a whole team's pace, directing specialised agents across branding, UX, UI, frontend, backend, QA, and DevOps.

Yes, when an experienced person directs them. The agents move fast and cover every craft, but I make the calls, review every output, and own the result. Fifteen years of shipping at scale is what keeps AI speed from costing you quality. You get a team's velocity with a senior operator's standards.

New products and first versions that have to be right: an MVP for a funded startup, a rebuild that needs to scale, or a founder's idea that needs to become a real, shipped product. If it's a brand-new bet you can't afford to get wrong, it's a fit.

Bring whatever you have: a rough idea, a brief, Figma designs, a prototype, or a half-built product that stalled. I pick up from wherever you are and take it through to shipped. If what you have is solid we run with it; if it needs a sharper direction first, I will tell you straight.

Probably not the right fit if you want hourly billing, a team-augmentation deal, or someone to follow a 200-page spec without pushback. It's also not the move if your project genuinely needs a multi-person team running for months on end. That is exactly what Rocket Lab is for.

No. I do the work. There's no offshore team, no juniors learning on your budget, and no one you've never met touching your product. You get me, start to finish.

You do, from day one. Everything ships on your accounts: your repo on GitHub, your hosting on Vercel or AWS, your Stripe, your domain. The code, designs, and intellectual property are yours, with no lock-in and no platforms I control. AI agents help me build, but they are tools I direct; what ships is your code, on your stack. If you ever need to take it in-house or bring someone else in, nothing depends on me staying involved.

It is set up so nothing depends on me. You walk away with a shipped product on your accounts, your repo, and a clean handover so any developer can take it from there. If you want me to stay on for a follow-up month, a launch sprint, or ongoing tweaks, that is possible (one client at a time still applies), but it is never built in. The default is: shipped, yours, and not stuck with me.

Rocket Lab is the Sydney web and mobile agency I founded in 2014. It has a team, runs ongoing partnerships, and handles larger or longer engagements. julienlamy.com is what I do personally, alongside the agency: I take on one founder's product a month and build it end to end, on my own. If you need a team or an ongoing partner, that is Rocket Lab. If you need one senior person to get the first version right, that is here.

One project per month, start to finish, with my direct, undivided attention while it runs. It's a serious investment built for founders who can't afford for this one to miss, not the cheapest option on the table. Tell me what you're building in the application and I'll be straight with you about fit and scope.
