Accepting new engagements

Your systems diagnosed. Then fixed.

I've scaled a unicorn startup from the inside, led GenAI research at an international company, and now build fintech systems in the US. I know exactly where to look, what to prioritize, and how to deliver — whether that's a diagnostic, a strategic roadmap, or a hands-on build.

How We Help Your
Engineering Organization

From a one-day diagnostic to a multi-month engagement — every service is tailored to where your company is and where it needs to go.

Technical Diagnostic

A thorough audit of your architecture, infrastructure, and engineering processes. I identify bottlenecks, risks, and quick wins — then deliver a prioritized action plan.

  • Architecture & Code Review
  • Performance Bottleneck Analysis
  • Cloud Cost Optimization

Strategic Roadmap

Translate business goals into a concrete engineering plan. From cloud migration strategies to team scaling — a roadmap you can actually execute on.

  • Migration Planning
  • Build vs. Buy Decisions
  • Technology Selection

Hands-On Build

When the plan calls for building, I embed with your team. Python backends, FastAPI services, data pipelines, CI/CD — production-grade systems shipped and documented.

  • Python / FastAPI / Django
  • Microservices & APIs
  • CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code

GenAI Integration

Cut through the hype. I evaluate where LLMs actually add value in your product, build proof-of-concepts, and deploy cost-effective AI workflows that stick.

  • LLM Use Case Evaluation
  • RAG & Workflow Automation
  • Cost-Effective Deployment
monitoring

Observability Setup

You can't fix what you can't see. I implement full-stack observability with Datadog or New Relic — APM, logging, alerting, and SLO design across your entire platform.

  • Datadog / New Relic
  • SLO/SLA Design
  • Incident Response Playbooks
groups

Engineering Leadership

Need a fractional CTO or interim tech lead? I help establish engineering culture, hiring processes, architecture decision records, and team rituals that scale.

  • Team Structuring & Hiring
  • Architecture Decision Records
  • Process & Culture Design

Why Companies Trust Us

Most consultants either advise from the sidelines or code without context. We do both — with scars from every company stage to prove it.

Operator, Not Observer

I've lived the pain. Scaled 100+ microservices at a unicorn startup. Migrated across AWS, GCP, and OCI with zero downtime. Built observability into platforms from scratch. When I audit your systems, I know what to look for because I've broken and fixed these things myself.

Strategic, Not Just Technical

Technology decisions are business decisions. As a former Tech Manager, I think in terms of ROI, team velocity, and operational risk — not just which framework is trendy. I help you prioritize what actually moves the needle and skip what doesn't.

How Engagements Work

Remote. Async. Defined scope. Guaranteed results. Every engagement follows a clear process from first call to final handoff.

1. Discovery Call

A free 30-minute call to understand your challenges, team structure, and goals. No pitch — just clarity on whether we're a good fit.

2. Diagnostic & Proposal

I deliver a scoped proposal with clear deliverables, timeline, and guaranteed outcomes. You know exactly what you're getting before we start.

3. Engagement

Whether it's a one-week audit, a fractional CTO arrangement, or a multi-month build — I work fully remote and async, embedded with your team on a defined contract.

4. Handoff & Ownership

Every engagement ends with full documentation, team training, and a clean handoff. Your team owns the solution — no vendor lock-in, no dependencies on me.

Let's find what's holding you back.

Whether you need a quick diagnostic, a strategic roadmap, or hands-on engineering — let's talk about where your platform is and where it needs to go.
