Consulting Services
Fixed-scope reviews that turn technical risk into a plan.
Each engagement is focused, senior work done by me: an architecture review, an independent diligence read, or a targeted piece of hands-on help. Not open-ended staff augmentation. You get a clear, prioritized memo you can act on immediately.
Prototype-to-Production Risk Assessment
A broad technical review for startups whose demo works but whose production plan needs pressure-testing.
