Work with me
Senior problem-solving for founders who can't afford to guess.
If you're not sure what to build next, where the real problem is, or whether your current product decisions make sense — this is where I help. I bring 22+ years of engineering and analysis to your roadmap, decisions, and product.
Services
Ways we can work together
Everything I offer is designed to reduce waste, de-risk decisions, and help you see what’s actually going on in your product and tech.
Best starting point
Problem & product diagnosis
One deep-dive session + written findings
We map out your current product, tech, and decisions. I identify the real problems, not just symptoms, and give you a clear, prioritized view of what matters.
- Clear view of what’s actually broken or unclear
- Prioritized list of issues and opportunities
- Blunt, independent assessment of your product health
Smart MVP & roadmap
Short sprint, usually 1–2 weeks
We take your messy idea and turn it into a focused MVP and roadmap: what to build now, what to cut, and what to postpone.
- A clear MVP scope you can hand to a team
- Trade-offs documented and agreed
- Roadmap that avoids feature bloat and chaos
Technical due diligence
Time-boxed review
I review your architecture, stack, or team setup and give you an honest risk profile before you invest further — ideal for investors, founders, or acquirers.
- Independent technical risk assessment
- Blunt feedback on what’s solid vs fragile
- Concrete recommendations before you commit
Founder advisory
Ongoing collaboration
You get access to my brain on a regular basis. We meet, review decisions, and I help you think through product, tech, and trade-offs.
- A senior partner to pressure-test your thinking
- Regular space to work through chaos calmly
- Better decisions across product and tech
Process
How working together actually works
01
You bring context
You share where you are, what’s on fire, and what decisions are in front of you. I ask questions until I understand the real situation.
02
I analyze & map
I connect the dots: product, tech, team, constraints, and reality. The goal isn’t slides — it’s a clear picture of what’s actually happening.
03
We decide together
We align on what to do next: what to build, what to stop, and where the real leverage is. You leave with clarity, not more ideas.
Fit
Who I work best with
A good fit if…
- You're an early-stage founder or small team
- You want honest, direct feedback — not validation
- You care about decisions more than hype
- You value deep thinking and analysis
Not a good fit if…
- You just want someone to tell developers what to do
- You're looking for the cheapest possible solution
- You don't want to think — only outsource
- You want fast hype, not honest analysis
FAQ
Questions founders often ask
Do you write code for these engagements?
Sometimes, but it’s not the main value. I'm most useful when I'm helping you decide what's worth building, not just implementing tasks. If we agree that hands-on prototyping makes sense, we'll structure it explicitly.
Do you work with agencies or larger companies?
Yes, as long as the work is focused on diagnosis, product thinking, or decision-making — not just adding another developer to the team.
How do pricing and payments work?
For now, everything is fixed-fee and scoped up-front. No surprises. You'll know exactly what you're getting. I'll soon add Stripe payments so you can book and pay directly.
