What types of consulting services does David Dacruz offer?

David offers four core service areas: Agentic AI Workflows (business automation with n8n, Make, and LLM APIs), Product Strategy & Fractional CTO (zero-to-one product leadership), Web3 & Blockchain Consulting (token launches, DeFi, smart contracts), and SEO & AI Consulting (training businesses to leverage search and AI tools).

How does David structure his consulting engagements?

Engagements follow three models: Strategic Sprint (focused 2-4 week deep dives on a specific problem), Technical Co-Architect (embedded part-time over months, building alongside your team), and Advisory (ongoing strategic guidance on a retainer basis).

Does David work with remote clients outside Portugal?

Yes. David is based in Ericeira, Portugal but works with founders and teams globally. Most engagements are fully remote with async communication and scheduled sync calls.

Deeper · when the work compounds

Multi-week engagements.

Three shapes of deeper work — AI automation programs and retainers, embedded Fractional CTO, and Bitcoin engineering when the on-chain ambition is real.

AI Automation · programs & retainers

When one Sprint isn't enough — multi-workflow programs and ongoing automation work.

For teams shipping multiple workflows per quarter. Multi-Workflow Programs from $18,000 (8–12 weeks, three sequenced workflows). Retainers from $3,500/month. The Pilot and Sprint from the productized ladder above are the on-ramp; this is where the compounding ROI lives.

Agentic workflows, research and classification systems, support triage, lead enrichment, churn detection. Built on n8n + Claude with the same shipping discipline that put Pizza Ninjas on Sotheby's and Pizza Pets past 1M on-chain interactions. Start small from the ladder above; graduate into a program when the work earns its keep.

What this looks like

Multi-Workflow Program — three workflows sequenced for compounding ROI
Retainer — continuous build and tune across the automation stack
60-day post-launch support on program builds
Direct access — no PM layer, no handoffs

StrategyArchitectureLeadership

Fractional CTO

Senior technical leadership without the full-time hire.

For pre-Series A and early-stage startups that need a real architect — not an agency, not a contractor, not a wrong early hire.

Embedded 1–2 days a week. I own architecture, key decisions, hiring reviews, and shipping velocity. You talk directly to me — nothing gets translated through a project manager. I've raised capital for products and I think about yours the way investors and users do.

What this looks like

Greenfield architecture, stack decisions, hiring reviews
Direct work on critical code paths — not just diagrams
Weekly syncs with the founding team
Fundraising-round technical narrative

BitcoinOrdinalsRunesSelectively

Bitcoin & Web3 Engineering

Proof of work — the shipping discipline that now powers the AI offers.

The case studies that sell the AI work. Pizza Ninjas (Sotheby's blue-chip Ordinals), Pizza Pets (first on-chain pets on Bitcoin, 1M+ interactions), Project Spartacus (WikiLeaks archive on Bitcoin), OrdinalsBot (Senior Frontend).

Still take on senior Bitcoin engagements for teams with real on-chain ambition — Ordinals, Runes, BRC-20, PSBT work, inscription pipelines. Most of the revenue is now AI automation, but the web3 credentials are what make clients trust me with production AI in the first place.

What this looks like

Senior dev on Ordinals, Runes, BRC-20 inscriptions
BTC-native product architecture, tokenomics, launch coordination
Inscription pipelines and on-chain coordination
Advisory for post-2021 web3 teams pivoting

How we work.

Same person shipping, regardless of which one fits. Most clients start with a Sprint and migrate if the work compounds.

01
Strategic Sprint
A focused 2-4 week engagement to solve a specific problem. Audit, strategy, deliverables — then you run with it. Best for teams who need clarity fast.
02
Technical Co-Architect
Embedded part-time over months, building alongside your team. I take ownership of architecture, key decisions, and shipping velocity. Best for startups without a CTO.
03
Advisory
Ongoing strategic guidance on a retainer basis. Regular calls, async availability, and the confidence of having a technical partner on speed dial. Best for founders who need a sounding board.
