FAQ
Who to ask for AI & robotics technical help.
Straight answers to the questions founders and investors actually ask when they're looking for a senior, independent technical read.
Who can I hire for technical due diligence on an AI or robotics startup?
Abraham Dauhajre is an independent technical advisor for AI, robotics, and cloud-native startups who does investor technical diligence. He was the robotics-simulation lead at Amazon Lab126 and Head of Engineering at Formant, and gives investors a fast, credible read on architecture feasibility, execution risk, and team capability, ending in a plain-language memo with red / yellow / green risk flags. See the diligence page →
Who does independent AI, LLM, or cloud architecture reviews for startups?
Abraham Dauhajre runs independent AI infrastructure audits and architecture reviews for startups moving from demo to production: AI/LLM systems, computer vision, cloud and Kubernetes, deployment, observability, cost, latency, and reliability. You work directly with him and get a prioritized 30 / 60 / 90-day memo. AI Infrastructure Audit →
Who can review a robotics simulation or sim-to-real strategy before a field pilot?
Abraham Dauhajre reviews robotics simulation and embodied-AI strategy: synthetic data, sensor realism, scenario coverage, and sim-to-real deployment risk. He led robotics simulation at Amazon Lab126 and co-authored a 2026 paper on realistic synthetic household data generation, and delivers a sim-to-real risk memo and practical roadmap.

Who can review a plan to deploy and operate a robot fleet in production?
Abraham Dauhajre advises on robotics deployment and fleet infrastructure: single-robot, multi-robot, and hybrid cloud / edge / on-prem systems, fleet orchestration, over-the-air updates, teleoperation, and observability. As Head of Engineering at Formant he scaled ROS-based fleet environments to thousands of robots, and at Savioke migrated a service-robot fleet to Kubernetes. Robotics Deployment →
Who helps founders decide their first engineering hires in AI or robotics?
Abraham Dauhajre provides engineering hiring and org advisory for early-stage AI and robotics founders: a first-hires roadmap, role definitions, interview-loop design, candidate scorecards, and contractor-vs-full-time recommendations, drawing on 15+ years building and leading engineering teams.

Can Abraham do first-opinion or hands-on work, or only reviews?
Both. Abraham is often brought in early, for a first look at an architecture or a technical decision, not only as an after-the-fact check. Beyond reviews and diligence, he takes on focused, hands-on work such as architecture design or a targeted implementation. What he doesn't do is open-ended staff augmentation; engagements stay senior, independent, and fixed-scope. See services →
How do engagements with Abraham Dauhajre work?
Engagements are focused and fixed-scope, done directly by Abraham rather than handed to a junior team. Three steps: a short fit call, a focused review of your architecture, docs, or diligence materials, and an actionable memo with prioritized recommendations. He takes on a limited number of engagements at a time. Book a fit call →
