Summary

I am looking for a Python/full-stack dev for a short paid gig (1-2 weeks) for my startup, Vera. We've got a working prototype (Next.js frontend + a solid, tested Python core) that needs three things: 1) confirm an LLM extraction step actually works against the Anthropic API, 2) wrap the core in a lightweight FastAPI layer, 3) deploy (Render/Railway + Vercel). Codebase is clean and Claude Code friendly. I am looking for someone who could also be interested, if the fit is right, in being a technical cofounder!
