FlossyPurse Studios

A modern,
AI-native
software studio.

Most of the code here is written by AI agents, at a speed nobody can honestly watch. My job is what that speed demands. I’m Cully Wakelin, and I guide the agents through real verifications instead of letting them guess — so what you get is not a black box, it is software with checks and balances and a person who answers for it.

  • Custom applications, from problem to a production product.
  • Boutique on purpose. You work with me directly, start to finish.
  • The checks are public: how software gets verified here.

Approach

Agents do the hands-on work here. Standing behind it is my job.

I use AI agents across the whole build — writing code, running tests, shipping releases, keeping documentation honest. An agent will do a week of work in an afternoon, and some of that work will be wrong. So the job is engineering around it: scope the work so done is checkable, and verify from outside the agent’s own report. It ships under my name and I stand behind all of it.

Judgment is still the expensive part

Knowing which layer is broken, which design will survive contact with production, and which half of the work can be skipped. None of that has gotten easier, and it is the part you are hiring.

The cost of building software fell. Most pricing did not.

Implementation that used to set the size of a project no longer does. The scope I can take on has moved, and what it should cost to get built has moved with it.

Projects

pitchroots

Canadian soccer in one feed, so following it does not mean checking six different sites.

site source

Tamrack

An Alberta economic intelligence dashboard, published at albertapulsecheck.ca. Public data pulled together into a picture of how the provincial economy is moving.

site

Tri-Region

A curated daily news feed for Spruce Grove, Stony Plain and Parkland County — dozens of local sources read every day, published as one feed.

site

Tools, on npm

mycadre

A git-worktree CLI. Creates, lists and removes worktrees without the footguns — it refuses to delete work git has not accounted for.

site npm source

gitsignet

A git identity guard. Stops commits authored as the wrong person — personal email on a work repo, and the reverse — before they leave the machine.

site npm source

sottovoce

Keeps the code in your documentation in sync with the code in your repo, and tells you which snippet drifted.

site npm source

packproof

Installs your npm package the way a stranger would — from the published tarball, in a clean directory — and reports what is missing before your users find it.

site npm source

otherbox

Runs your test command once as-is, then once per environment that differs from yours by exactly one thing — a timezone, a locale, an empty home — and names the change that turned it red.

Cully

Who you would be working with.

I’m Cully Wakelin. FlossyPurse Studios is my software studio. My career has been inside durable execution and developer infrastructure — early at Temporal, and now on the team at Resonate — building the documentation, developer experience, SDK surfaces, and compliance programs those platforms stand on. Fifteen years of shipping software is underneath all of it.

Working together

How an engagement works.

Every project here is quoted against the job, not the hour — the way a good carpenter prices a build.

  1. Write me

    The form below asks what I’d ask on a first call anyway. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll say so quickly and point you somewhere better.

  2. One call, free

    We figure out together whether the problem and the studio match.

  3. Scoping, priced flat

    $5,000 buys a fixed-scope diagnosis: I get into the real system, and you get a written plan — what’s broken, what it takes, and what it costs — that’s yours to keep whether or not we go further. Go ahead with the build and the fee is credited against it.

  4. The build, quoted

    The number that comes out of scoping is the number. Fixed quote, agreed scope, and I tell you the moment anything threatens either.

Most project engagements land in the mid five figures and up. For ongoing help instead of a project — an experienced systems person in your corner a few hours a week — I offer a monthly advisory retainer.

Contact

Reach out.
Tell me what you’re building.

I read every one of these myself and reply within two business days.

Prefer plain email? hello@flossypurse.studio works too — what you are building, where it is stuck, and what you have tried so far.

And if what you are after is agents working inside your own org the way they work here, I’m happy to have that conversation too.
