Consulting
Consulting that cuts risk, not slides
Architecture, integrations, and technical direction — so your next investment fixes the problem, not the symptoms.
Overview
Clarity before the next big spend
You do not need another framework debate. You need someone who has seen systems break in production and knows how to prevent it. I map what you have today, design how it should connect, and turn that into priorities your team can execute.
- Architecture reviews and target designs that match how your business actually runs
- Integration strategy — which tools should talk, how, and what to stop paying for twice
- Roadmaps with trade-offs your leadership can understand in one meeting
Technologies
Ecosystems I know in depth
Consulting is only useful if recommendations map to real stacks. These are the platforms and patterns I have shipped or untangled in production — not a slide-deck laundry list.
Application stacks
- React
- Next.js
- React Native
- TypeScript
- Node.js
CMS & commerce
- Payload
- Sanity
- Shopify
Data & integrations
- SQL
- REST & GraphQL APIs
- Webhooks & event-driven flows
Cloud & delivery
- Vercel
- AWS
- GCP
- CI/CD
- SST
- Pulumi
Advisory focus
- AI-enabled development
- Architecture & integration design
Typical engagements
Practical output, not shelfware
Engagements are tailored, but you always leave with decisions and next steps — not a PDF that nobody opens.
- Technical audit: systems, data flows, risks, and quick wins
- Solution design for a new product, migration, or major integration
- Ongoing sparring for founders and engineering leads — a second pair of eyes on plans and vendors
Why it works
Senior judgement without the big-firm invoice
One experienced engineer who has shipped products and untangled stacks — focused on what moves your business forward.
Decisions you can defend
Recommendations tied to business outcomes — so leadership, finance, and engineering align on what happens next.
Less friction between tools
Integrations and architecture that reduce duplicate work, manual exports, and the "which system is correct?" argument.
A path, not a rabbit hole
Phased plans with clear trade-offs — so you know what to do now, what to defer, and what to stop paying for.
Consulting — common questions
How advisory work usually runs with business clients.
How long does an engagement take?
Audits and decision workshops are often a few days to two weeks. Deeper architecture work can run longer. We agree scope and deliverables upfront so you know when it ends.
Do you implement, or only advise?
Both. Many clients start with consulting and continue into implementation with me or their own team. I will say clearly if you only need advice or if hands-on build is the better path.
We have legacy systems nobody wants to touch — is that a problem?
That is common. The goal is not rip-and-replace by default. We look at what still earns its keep, what blocks you, and what can be improved incrementally without stopping the business.
Still have questions?
Tell me about your situation — I will be direct about fit, scope, and timing.
Tell me what you're building
A short conversation is enough to see if we're a fit — no pitch deck, no pressure.
