Services & Consulting
Staff-level backend and cloud architecture. Hired by the engagement. Four ways to bring me in—pick the exact scope you need.
01 · Audit
The Architecture Audit
An exhaustive, objective audit of your core infrastructure. I trace database bottlenecks, identify cloud cost leaks, and map structural tech debt before it impacts production stability. You receive an actionable remediation roadmap and a clear execution path for your team.
02 · Fractional
Fractional Staff Engineer
Staff-level engineering oversight on a part-time basis. I draft RFCs, review critical-path code, establish infrastructure standards, and unblock your internal developers. I serve as a dedicated architectural sounding board for the CTO.
Monthly retainer (scope-dependent)
Talk to me →03 · Execution
Dedicated Execution
Direct execution for critical engineering milestones. I integrate temporarily to architect and ship high-impact transitions—whether extracting high-throughput Go services from a monolith or overhauling core AWS infrastructure pipelines.
Custom Scope (Per Milestone)
Talk to me →04 · Healthtech
Healthtech & Biotech Specialty
Regulated domains require paranoid engineering. Drawing on deep experience building electronic health records (EHR) and biotech data pipelines, I design backends engineered for complex data residency laws, application-layer encryption, and ironclad audit trails.
