consulting
short, paid engagements where you need a senior engineer in the room. five-plus years owning reliability and performance for systems that handle billions of requests a year. i bring honest tradeoff analysis, working code, and a written handoff so the work outlives the engagement.
[scope]
- + reliability + performance audits — identify the cliff before traffic finds it. infra walk-through, slo proposal, short list of high-leverage fixes.
- + web automation + bot detection — what breaks at scale, which signals matter, what fingerprinting actually works in 2026.
- + agentic ai pipelines — small, inspectable agents that produce static artifacts. wikis, briefs, datasets.
- + technical due diligence — code, infra, team, on-call posture. written report inside two weeks.
[shape]
- + discovery call — 30 min. free. we figure out if i'm the right person.
- + scoped sprint — 1–4 weeks, fixed fee, deliverable on day one. invoiced via my llc.
- + retained hours — block of 10–40h/mo for an ongoing relationship. month-to-month.
tell me what's broken, what's coming, or what you're trying to ship. i respond inside one business day. terminal-direct is fine.
