Consultation & augmentation

A senior engineer your team doesn't have

Two ways to bring me in. Short-term depth for a specific problem, or embedded alongside your engineers for months: independent from day one, no ramp-up lag.

Is this the right fit?

A good fit when

  • Your team is stuck on a specific technical problem
  • You need architecture review before committing to a direction
  • You need a senior engineer or architect your team doesn't have
  • You want someone who can operate independently from day one

Probably not when

  • You need a complete product built from scratch (see Product & Solutions)
  • You need a recruitment agency or permanent hire
  • You need a team of multiple engineers (I work solo)

Tell me what you're building

Send me a short description of the problem and I'll tell you whether I'm the right fit, what it would cost, and how long it would take. No pitch deck.
