How does the Salto Dev as a Service model operate?

Your business contracts a fixed monthly subscription containing a defined package of dedicated hours directly with senior engineer Erick Inoue. You maintain an agile queue of priorities (new landing pages, system feature enhancements, API integrations, Core Web Vitals optimization, AI automations), and deliverables are shipped continuously week by week.

Who actually performs the technical engineering work?

All architecture and coding is led and executed directly by Erick Inoue, founder of Salto Solutions. You work directly with a senior technologist possessing over 10 years of cross-disciplinary digital experience across multinational brands (General Motors) and tier-one agencies (DM9DDB, Dentsu), avoiding agency junior delegates.

What is the primary advantage over full-time in-house hiring?

Hiring an in-house senior engineer involves lengthy recruiting cycles, high fixed salaries, significant employer taxes, and severance liabilities. Dev as a Service delivers predictable monthly billing, zero employment liabilities, and immediate senior impact from day one.

What range of digital tasks can be requested?

Virtually any digital engineering need: high-converting landing pages, custom web application modules, API/CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, payment gateways), AI agent workflows, performance tuning (Google PageSpeed 95+), and strategic cloud architecture.

Dev as a Service: Dedicated Senior Engineer On Demand

The central bottleneck of scaling businesses is reliable technical capacity

Growing organizations face an unending stream of mission-critical digital requirements: a high-converting landing page needed for an urgent paid campaign, an API integration that broken unexpectedly, AI automations to save hours of manual overhead, or web applications requiring new features.

Traditional market solutions consistently fall short:

In-House Senior Hiring: Demands 3 to 6 months of recruiting, steep base compensation plus heavy benefits and taxes, with high risk when project demand fluctuates.
Traditional Digital Agencies: Inflate scopes with heavy project management markups, take weeks to estimate simple requests, and offload real coding to junior apprentices.
Freelance Developers: Often lack broader business perspective, deliver inconsistent code quality, and frequently disappear mid-milestone.

Salto Dev as a Service combines the financial predictability of a fixed monthly subscription with the certainty of working directly with a proven multidisciplinary senior engineer.

Over 10 years of cross-disciplinary expertise across the digital landscape

Unlike conventional developers confined to a narrow stack who require micromanagement, your business collaborates directly with Erick Inoue, founder of Salto Solutions.
