Services · independent technical consulting
Pragmatic help with code, architecture, delivery, and moderately responsible AI. You get direct answers, useful artifacts, and fewer meetings about future meetings.
Current operating principle
Make it work. Make it legible. Stop adding frameworks.
What to expect
01 / Candor
If the proposed solution is expensive theater, I will say so—and suggest the smaller thing that might actually work.
02 / Evidence
Recommendations come with tradeoffs, assumptions, and enough written reasoning that your team can challenge them.
03 / Ownership
The engagement ends with decisions, code, or a concrete plan—not a decorative slide deck abandoned in a shared drive.
Useful interventions
01 / Technical diagnosis
Architecture reviews, codebase triage, delivery bottleneck analysis, and second opinions on consequential technical decisions.
02 / Delivery support
Scoping, implementation planning, focused coding, review, and technical leadership without pretending process is the product.
03 / AI, moderately
Practical evaluation, integration advice, workflow design, and risk review—without promising sentience, magic, or effortless scale.
