Work with me

If you’re looking for senior engineering support, to ship faster, reduce risk, or level up delivery, here are a few ways we can work together.

Integration Support

Best if: you’re integrating a third-party platform/SDK (payments, auth, web3, analytics) and want it done cleanly.

  • In-depth technical consultation (architecture, design, implementation)
  • End to end feature delivery (frontend, backend, integrations)
  • UX for critical flows (onboarding, checkout/claim, errors, recoveries)
  • Testing strategy + launch readiness
  • Production troubleshooting and performance tuning

Outcome: a stable integration that’s easy to maintain and pleasant for users.

Consulting & Advisory

Best if: you need a senior set of eyes for decisions and execution.

  • Architecture review + actionable recommendations
  • Product/engineering alignment (scope, tradeoffs, risk mapping)
  • Delivery systems (quality gates, release confidence, faster iteration)
  • Mentorship (PR reviews, pairing sessions, coaching)

Outcome: clarity and a concrete plan your team can execute.

Contractor / Builder (Hands-on)

Best if: you want someone to take ownership of a scoped project and ship it.

  • End-to-end feature delivery (frontend, backend, integrations)
  • Dashboards, internal tooling, automation
  • Refactors and reliability improvements (testing, CI, performance)

Outcome: shipped work with high-quality handoff.

Hire Me (Full-time)

Best if: you want a product-minded engineering manager who can drive delivery and build strong teams.

  • Execution + stakeholder alignment
  • Strong engineering practices (reviews, testing, reliability)
  • Team leadership, hiring, mentoring
  • Product delivery focus (shipping outcomes, not just output)

Outcome: a leader who improves both the team and the product.
