Working with founders, CTOs, and engineering teams when technical decisions actually matter. Usually involved when systems are new and risky, or those already stalling under architectural debt, or hitting critical scaling limits.

You might recognize these symptoms:

— It’s getting harder to ship: the system is stable, but too rigid.
— You’re having the same architectural debates for the third month in a row.
— Root causes of critical anomalies always escape the current perspective.
— Teams prioritize local patches because structural changes feel too risky.
— Maintenance consumes the budget that was meant for growth.

The Focus: Providing structure, clarity, and high-leverage technical oversight. Mapping hidden risks, analyzing root causes, clarifying trade-offs, and supporting teams in choosing directions they can sustain long-term.

Engagement types: Designing new architectures, reviewing existing systems, performing diagnostics. Defining technical roadmaps, or acting as a technical advisor — free from vendor bias.

This is not a fit for teams looking for just “quick fixes” or seeking the lowest possible cost.

How it works: A brief conversation to establish fit and context, followed by a proposal.
