Russell Thornton.

Russell founded AppsTango to do one thing the agency model could not: ship production apps in 30 days for a fixed price, with senior engineers, on the customer's own AWS account.

He's the engineer in the room on every Lehi strategy session. He also writes the architecture sketch you take home, leads the AWS account design on day one, and stays as on-call escalation through the first 30 days post-launch.

The 80/20 Hybrid™ method is his thesis: automate the 80% that's reusable — auth, billing, observability, CI/CD, scaffolding — and put senior humans on the 20% that genuinely needs judgment. Architecture decisions, App Store review, on-call response, the calls a model shouldn't make alone.
