Already working with us?

Every dollar you invest in an earlier tier applies as credit when you upgrade. Start with a $997 Snapshot, and if you decide to go further, it counts toward the next step. No wasted spend.

Traditional technology assessments from mid-tier firms often exceed $30K and take 4–6 weeks. The Tech Health Snapshot gives you 80% of the clarity for $997 — with a full satisfaction guarantee.

Engineering Leadership

I embed with your team as a contract engineering leader. Architecture, hiring, delivery, team development — I lead the work, not just advise on it.

✓Lead engineering teams through architecture, planning, and delivery
✓Hire and develop engineering talent
✓Own architecture decisions and technical direction
✓Bridge the gap between product vision and engineering execution

Part-time, remote, contract basis. Structured around your team's rhythm.

Best for: Startups and growing companies that need experienced engineering leadership without a full-time executive hire.

AI agents I built and use daily

Three former employers brought me back for a second engagement. That's the kind of trust I build.

Not sure which engagement fits? That's what the call is for. We'll talk through where you are, what's not working, and figure out the right starting point together.

30-minute call. No prep needed. No obligation.
