How I work with teams

Four engagement shapes — from a focused two-week audit to a long-term fractional partnership. Pick what fits your stage; we tailor scope on the discovery call.

1–3 weeks · fixed scope

Architecture Review & Advisory

Deep audit of your codebase, infrastructure, and team workflows. You walk away with a prioritized roadmap, risk register, and concrete next steps — not a slide deck.

  • System & data architecture audit
  • Scalability, security & cost review
  • Prioritized 90-day roadmap
Best for: Founders & CTOs validating direction before a big build.
Long-term · up to 5 days/week

Fractional Tech Lead

Embedded technical leadership for teams without a senior architect in-house. I drive standards, unblock engineers, own critical-path delivery, and mentor your team.

  • Hands-on architecture & code review
  • Hiring, mentoring & process design
  • Stakeholder & roadmap alignment
Best for: Seed–Series B SaaS teams scaling their engineering org.
Project-based · 4–16 weeks

Multi-tenant SaaS Build

End-to-end delivery of production-grade SaaS features: multi-tenant data models, RBAC, billing, integrations, and the front-end to match. Ship-ready, not POC.

  • Multi-tenant backend (Node/NestJS)
  • Angular / React front-end
  • AWS or Azure deployment & CI/CD
Best for: Teams that need a senior pair of hands to ship a critical module.
Short-term · 2–6 weeks

Rescue & Refactor Sprint

Targeted intervention for slow, flaky, or hard-to-maintain systems. Performance tuning, legacy modernization, or untangling a release blocker — surgically, no rewrite required.

  • Performance & reliability fixes
  • Legacy modernization (incremental)
  • Test, CI & deployment hardening
Best for: Teams stuck on a specific bottleneck or stability issue.
