Read guideFrequently Asked Questions
What AI tools do you specialize in?
Claude Code for development automation, n8n for workflow orchestration, ChatGPT API for product integrations. I also work with complementary tools like vector databases and automation platforms.
How does Claude Code compare to GitHub Copilot?
Claude Code is a CLI agent that can read your entire codebase, run commands, execute tests, and make architectural decisions. Copilot provides inline suggestions. Claude Code is more autonomous and capable of multi-step reasoning.
What can I automate with n8n?
Almost anything: content scheduling, lead management, data sync between tools, AI-powered workflows, document processing, custom API integrations. If it has an API, n8n can connect it.
Do you offer training for teams?
Yes. I can train your team on AI tooling best practices, set up workflows, and create documentation. Training is customized to your stack and use cases.
What's your pricing model?
One-time setups (Claude Code configuration, simple automations) start at project-based pricing. Ongoing retainers for complex systems and team support. Contact hello@maxpetrusenko.com with your requirements.
Can you help with product strategy too?
Yes. I offer product & UX consulting to shape what to build, not just how. Calm, outcome-first product definition before a line of code is written.
