Taking on new projects this quarter

Operator-grade AI.
Built to ship, not to demo.

Custom AI agents, workflow automations, and AI-powered web apps for founders and small teams. I'm Igor Lima, a former operator who learned to build the tools I wished I'd had.

Pick a project, get a price.

Everything below is a real, scoped engagement. Prices are starting points based on typical complexity. We talk, I send a fixed quote, you say go.

starting at
$1,200

Custom AI Agents

An agent that handles one workflow end to end. Built around your business, not a generic chatbot wrapper.

  • OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models
  • Tool use, RAG, and memory when it earns its keep
  • Production deploy, not a Colab notebook

starting at
$600

Workflow Automation

The thing your team does 40 times a week, automated so it takes 30 seconds and zero attention.

  • Python, n8n, Zapier, or fully custom
  • API integrations and webhook plumbing
  • Scheduled jobs with real monitoring

$2,500

AI-Powered Web Apps

A small, sharp web app with AI doing the heavy lift. Real product, not a sandbox demo.

  • Next.js or FastAPI + React
  • Auth, payments, deployable from day one
  • Clean UI your customers won't be confused by

$900

Data + LLM Pipelines

Move your messy data through a language model, structure the output, drop it where the rest of your stack expects it.

  • Document parsing, extraction, OCR cleanup
  • Batch summarization and classification
  • Output to CSV, Postgres, Notion, or Sheets

Prototype in a Week

Fixed scope, fixed price, working demo in seven days. For pitching investors or pressure-testing an idea before you sink real money in.

  • One core feature, polished, on a real URL
  • Daily updates, weekly is too slow at this scope
  • You walk away with the code, no lock-in

Consult and Pair

Drop me into a working session. We sketch the architecture, write the hard part together, you leave with something you can ship.

  • 60 or 90 minute sessions
  • Architecture, prompt design, or code review
  • Recorded summary plus follow-up notes

Shipped, and more on the way.

Three live products you can try right now, more on the way. Want something like these built for your business? That's the offer.

Everything on GitHub
Live MASTER Prompt Library GitHub stars

MASTER Prompt Library

427 career-grade prompts built on a 9-layer framework (Mission, Agent, Situation, Task, Examples, Rules, Think, Eval, Output). Templates, completed exercises against real situations, and a scheduled scraper that surfaces the best prompts from across the web.

> Six years of prompt engineering, made browsable
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • GitHub Pages
  • Scheduled scraper
Build notes
Problem

Most prompt libraries online are unsorted piles of clever-sounding strings. When a prompt fails, there's no framework to tell you which layer went wrong, and "just rewrite it" is not a methodology.

Approach

Every prompt is built on the MASTER framework so any failure traces to a specific missing layer. 427 prompts across 18 categories, each one audited. Two formats: Full MASTER (all 9 layers) and MASTER-lite for daily-use templates.

Architecture

Next.js static export → GitHub Pages, plus a scheduled scraper that scores and ingests prompts from across the web into the discovery feed.

Why it matters

Backs up the "prompt engineering since 2020" claim with a clickable, browsable artifact. The framework itself is the deliverable that hiring managers and prospects actually want to see.

Live NiftyStats GitHub stars

NiftyStats

Browser-native statistical analysis. Drop in a CSV, get descriptives, distributions, and correlations rendered in the page. Pyodide runs the Python in WebAssembly so your data never leaves your machine.

> Zero-backend stats, full Python power
  • Vite
  • React
  • Pyodide
  • Pandas
Build notes
Problem

Quick CSV analysis usually means uploading to a server you don't fully trust or wrestling with a local Python install. Neither is great when the data is sensitive.

Approach

Run pandas in the browser via Pyodide (Python compiled to WebAssembly). The CSV never leaves the device, but the full pandas API is available.

Architecture

Vite + React UI → Pyodide worker → pandas, NumPy, SciPy in WebAssembly

Why it matters

Sensitive data stays local. No backend means zero hosting cost. The whole site is a static bundle on GitHub Pages.

Live NiftyVid GitHub stars

NiftyVid

Image-to-video AI generator in the browser. Drop a photo, write a short motion prompt, get a 5-second MP4 back. Built on Wan 2.2, the open-source answer to Runway Gen-3 and Kling.

> Free AI video, fully in the browser
  • Astro
  • Tailwind
  • Cloudflare Workers
  • Wan 2.2
Build notes
Problem

Image-to-video AI is locked behind paid platforms (Runway, Kling, Pika). Hobbyists and small teams who want to try it hit paywalls or limited free tiers.

Approach

Proxy a public Hugging Face Space running Wan 2.2 through a Cloudflare Worker. Static frontend on GitHub Pages calls the Worker, never the Space directly.

Architecture

Astro static site → Cloudflare Worker (CORS + URL stability) → HF Space (Wan 2.2 on shared GPU)

Why it matters

Worker abstraction means swapping inference providers (fal.ai, Replicate, private Space) doesn't touch the frontend.

Operator first. Engineer second. Both for you.

I'm a 2nd-year CS student, but I came to the major sideways. Before college I owned and operated a small chain of mattress stores. Payroll, inventory, leads, the whole thing. That's where I learned that the gap between a decent business and a great one is usually how much busywork the owner is drowning in. Optimization stuck with me.

I started prompt engineering in early 2020, back when "AI tools" meant Google Colab notebooks and NightCafe for image generation. The proper code came later, in the last couple of years. So my hands-on time with language models is longer than my time as a "developer," which is rarer than it sounds.

I'm trilingual: English, Portuguese, Spanish, all fluent. I grew up in Brazil and have been a US citizen since 2011. If your customers or operations span Latin America, the US, or Brazil, that's a moat I can lend you.
