Marcus Vale
Backend Architect
Designs the API surface and the database underneath it — service boundaries, schemas, and the scaling plan before the first endpoint ships.
Draws the schema before he'll discuss the framework.
Issue 001 · The Workforce · Atlanta · GA
Most agencies your size have three people and outsource the rest. We run a specialist for every discipline — a backend architect who designs the schema, an iOS engineer who knows what passes App Store review, a local SEO strategist who reverse-engineers whoever is outranking you, an editor who won’t call a video finished until five QC gates have actually run.
Every one of them is on the job the moment your project starts. None of them are learning on your budget.
To be completely straight with you: these are AI agents, not employees, and the portraits are illustrations — nobody here is a photograph of a real person. Each one is a real, configured specialist we actually run, with its own instructions, its own tools and its own standing rules. That’s exactly why the bench is this deep at this price.

Backend Architect
Designs the API surface and the database underneath it — service boundaries, schemas, and the scaling plan before the first endpoint ships.
Draws the schema before he'll discuss the framework.

Frontend Engineer
Builds the React layer — components, state, responsive behaviour, and the accessibility work most teams skip.
Tabs through every build with the mouse unplugged.

Full-Stack Engineer
Takes a feature the whole distance — interface, API, database, deploy — without a handoff in the middle.
Ships the migration and the UI in the same pull request.

iOS Engineer
Native Swift and SwiftUI — app lifecycle, Core Data, and the App Store submission that actually passes review.
Reads the Human Interface Guidelines for pleasure.

Mobile Engineer
Cross-platform React Native and Flutter — native bridges, offline sync, and push that arrives on both stores.
Tests on the cheapest Android he can find, first.

Android TV Engineer
The ten-foot experience — Kotlin and Leanback, Media3 ExoPlayer with libVLC fallback, and D-pad focus that never traps the user.
Navigates every screen with a remote before he'll sign it off.

Streaming App Architect
IPTV end to end — Xtream Codes auth, live TV, VOD and series catalogues, EPG, and channel zapping that doesn't stutter.
Knows which codec your box will silently refuse.

Streaming Performance Engineer
Audits the decode pipeline, memory budget, scroll frame rate and cold-start time on the cheap TV sticks everyone actually owns.
Measures. Then argues. Never the other way round.

Integrations Engineer
Wires the third parties in properly — Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, RevenueCat, Cal.com — with real auth, retries and rate limits.
Assumes every external API will fail, and plans for it.

Codebase Cartographer
Goes into an unfamiliar codebase and comes back with the map — execution paths, architecture layers, dependencies, and what will break.
Reads the whole thing before changing one line of it.

Commerce Site Builder
Stands up a new storefront branch from an existing architecture — clone, rebrand, Shopify integration, deploy.
Would rather fork a working system than start a blank one.

Local SEO Strategist
Reverse-engineers whoever is outranking you — SERP, backlinks, schema, Google Business Profile — then closes the gap move by move.
Opens with the competitor's ranking, not yours.

Landing Page Specialist
Conversion-first pages — hero architecture, pricing tables, lead capture, and mobile layouts that hold the thumb.
Cuts the third paragraph. Always the third paragraph.

Content Marketer
Video scripts, paid social creative, landing copy and email sequences — written for service businesses and built to convert.
Writes the hook forty times before the body once.

Social Copywriter
Turns long-form material into threads, LinkedIn posts and captions engineered for the scroll.
Believes the second line matters more than the first.

Podcast SEO Specialist
Episode titles, meta descriptions and keyword targets that make a back catalogue findable years after it aired.
Renames your best episode and doubles its traffic.

Lead Intelligence Architect
Scoring models, qualification frameworks, automated follow-up and the CRM workflow that stops good leads going cold.
Can tell you which lead will close before the first call.

Video Producer
Handles everything before the timeline — scripts built for natural lip-sync, reactor and music-video structure, shot lists, avatar direction and the production schedule.
Storyboards the thumbnail before she writes the script.
SpecialistVideo Editor
Runs the deterministic render pipeline end to end — cuts, crops, burned captions, audio mutes, colour and covers — and will not call a file finished until every QC gate has actually been run.
Transcribes her own finished cut to prove it's the right hour.

UI/UX Critic
Research-backed design critique — Nielsen Norman evidence, attention patterns, and a hard line against generic AI aesthetics.
Will tell you the design is boring, then tell you why.

Market Research Analyst
Market intelligence, industry trend work and competitive analysis — the picture of the field before you commit capital to it.
Never gives a number without its source.

Research Director
Runs multi-stage research projects end to end — scoping the question, assigning the specialists, and assembling the final report.
Clarifies the question before anyone starts answering it.

Technical Researcher
Evaluates repositories, documentation and competing implementations — code quality, version history, and which library to actually bet on.
Reads the issue tracker before the README.

Product Spec Writer
Turns an idea into a buildable document — PRD, personas, prioritised feature list, database schema, MVP boundary.
The scope creep dies in his first draft.

Booking Systems Architect
Appointment and scheduling platforms for service businesses — calendars, availability, reminders, and the pricing model around them.
Solves the double-booking edge case on day one.
There’s no trick to it, and no secret tool. A specialist is a text file describing a job, and the discipline to write that file properly. Here’s the whole method.
Each specialist is a markdown file — a name, a description of when to call them, the exact tools they’re allowed to touch, and the model they run on. 24 of ours are studio-wide; the rest are built for a single production pipeline.
The value isn’t the job title, it’s the scar tissue. Every mistake that ever cost us a day goes back into the file as a rule — so it becomes a mistake that gets made exactly once, by anyone, ever.
Then the work is just casting. Need the local SEO teardown? seo-geo-optimizer. Need the render QC’d? video-editor. Each one works in its own context, with only its own tools, and reports back.
Sites from $250, apps from $750. Whoever your project needs is already on the bench.
