What I solve

Start with a paid review, then expand only when the next outcome is clear.

MVP Risk & Readiness Review

$750 fixedBefore You Build or Before You Launch

High-level triage of one defined MVP plan or existing product, one deep dive into the highest-risk workflow, a written roadmap, and a 45-minute findings call.

MVP-to-Production Sprint

Starting at $4,000One outcome with written acceptance criteria

A focused implementation sprint for one build, production-readiness, or stabilization outcome. It is scoped to fit up to 40 delivery hours across two to four calendar weeks.

Technology Partner Retainer

$1,500 per monthArchitecture and technical decision support

Ongoing architecture, code, vendor, roadmap, and risk review for founders who need a senior technical partner without hiring a full-time CTO.

Technical judgment

The Staff Engineer signal is not more tools. It is better tradeoffs.

  • I choose migration paths over rewrites.
  • I separate domain boundaries from deployment boundaries.
  • I design event systems around failure, retry, and idempotency.
  • I treat tenant isolation as a business and risk boundary.
  • I optimize for systems a team can operate after I leave.

Public proof

Public proof, curated for relevance.

The goal is not to list every repository. It is to show production-shaped thinking: contracts, data boundaries, tenant isolation, background workflows, and systems that are built to be operated.
