What I do
Every engagement starts with a conversation about your goals, your constraints, and whether I'm the right fit. No sales process, no account managers — you work directly with me, and I do the work.
Supply-Chain & Systems Integration
My primary specialty: event-driven integration between commerce systems and the warehouse — WMS, OMS, ERP, and dropship — built at enterprise scale and supported through go-live, on-site when it counts. This work has its own page, including fixed-scope offers for architecture reviews, peak readiness, and WMS evaluation.
Product Builds for Founders
End-to-end delivery of working software: MVPs for new products, integrations, and automation across web, mobile, and cloud. I handle architecture, implementation, infrastructure, and deployment — you get a production system, not a prototype and a handoff problem.
Good fit when:you've raised or you're bootstrapping, you need one accountable senior builder rather than an agency bench, and you want it built right the first time. Extra depth in proptech — I own and operate 26 rental units, so I'm also the customer.
Architecture & Cloud
Focused engagements on the systems underneath your product: architecture reviews with written findings and a prioritized roadmap, AWS and Kubernetes platform design and migration, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), CI/CD pipelines, and cloud cost reduction.
Good fit when: your cloud bill keeps climbing, deploys are scary, or you want an outside expert to validate a major architecture decision before you commit.
Rescue & Modernization
For systems in trouble: codebases the original developers left behind, migrations that stalled, performance problems nobody can pin down, or legacy systems blocking the business. I start with a rapid assessment, stabilize what's urgent, then work through a pragmatic modernization plan — incremental, tested, and reversible.
Good fit when: something important is broken or fragile, the people who built it are gone, and you need a senior engineer who has untangled this kind of mess before.
How engagements work
Most work falls into one of three shapes: a fixed-scope project (assessment, review, or build with defined deliverables), a retainer (ongoing development or part-time technical leadership at a set cadence), or a short paid discovery when the problem itself needs defining first. We agree on scope, timeline, and price in writing before anything starts.
I work with modern AI-assisted engineering tools — it's how one accountable architect delivers at a team's pace. The architecture, the judgment, and the review are always mine.
If what you're after is ongoing part-time technical leadership — a fractional architect — I take a small number of those retainers for the right fit. Ask.
