Technical Consulting & Advisory
Senior technical judgment to derisk decisions, assess codebases, and guide execution.
I partner with founders, executives, and engineering leaders to provide unbiased technical clarity. Drawing on experience leading and mentoring teams of 4 to 30+ engineers and achieving ~95% automated test coverage in regulated industries, I help teams build durable engineering practices.
The Business & Architectural Problem It Solves
Making the wrong technology choices, hiring the wrong vendor, or misjudging project scope can cost months of runway and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Key Deliverables & System Capabilities
Concrete engineering outputs, architectures, and automated deliverables produced during an engagement.
What You Can Bring to Me
Common architectural inflection points and codebase challenges where this service provides immediate clarity.
Founders or executive teams seeking experienced technical judgment to vet software scopes, vendors, or architecture roadmaps.
Establishing engineering quality standards, code review protocols, and automated test coverage (targeting ~95% coverage).
Assessing technical feasibility and architecture options before deploying significant engineering capital.
Target Audience & Ideal Fit
Founders without a technical co-founder, product managers leading complex software projects, or investors assessing technical viability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, practical answers regarding engagement structure, timelines, code ownership, and working models.
What engagement models are available for technical advisory?+
Options range from fixed-scope packages (like the 48-Hour Codebase Audit) to fractional lead retainer advisory (weekly architectural guidance, vendor reviews, and team mentoring).
How does the 48-Hour Codebase Audit work?+
Within 48 business hours of repository access, I conduct an intensive inspection of architecture, security, database queries, and test coverage, delivering a prioritized report and a 45-minute live technical debrief call.
Can you help evaluate candidate hires or vendor proposals?+
Yes. I frequently advise founders and executives on vetting technical vendor proposals, assessing agency deliverables, and conducting technical interviews for senior engineering hires.
