After two decades of creating projects, I've discovered that the most challenging aspect is seldom the coding itself — it’s about understanding what to build and the reasons behind it. In the evenings, I assist a select few individuals in gaining that clarity before they embark on their projects. If you're a founder, CTO, or tech lead grappling with a significant decision, or if you're simply seeking an experienced perspective to help you think things through, this service is designed for you. Most engagements begin with a complimentary 30-minute call. **Software Architecture** I help you design scalable systems that remain comprehensible over time. I evaluate domain models, service boundaries, and data storage options, documenting everything so that the rationale is preserved. **AI in Your Product** My focus is on implementing AI that genuinely benefits real users. Instead of following trends, we aim to identify genuinely useful functionalities and develop them thoughtfully. I've learned from past mistakes, so you don’t have to. **Technical Sounding Board** I’m here to help you brainstorm. Whether it’s about architectural choices, hiring, or difficult trade-offs, I’ll share my candid opinions, even if they're not what you want to hear. **Engineering Coaching** I offer weekly 60-minute sessions for engineers, tech leads, or founders. Together, we tackle actual problems you’re facing. **Architecture Review** I provide a thorough assessment of your current architecture, complete with a written summary that is actionable. I’ll identify what’s working, any concerns I have, and what my recommendations would be, primarily conducted asynchronously with two brief calls.
