Product & Technical Validation
Making sure an idea is buildable before it becomes expensive
I assess product ideas and existing systems from a technical perspective — validating feasibility, scope, risks, and architectural soundness. This is focused on product and code, helping teams avoid technical dead ends early.

Build-vs-Buy Tradeoff Analysis
I help analyze build-vs-buy tradeoffs for technical solutions – evaluating whether to build custom solutions or use existing products, providing strategic decision support based on technical, business, and long-term considerations.
MVP Technical Feasibility Assessment
I assess the technical feasibility of MVP ideas before development begins – helping founders validate buildability, identify risks, and understand technical requirements early to avoid costly mistakes.
Performance Bottleneck Diagnosis
I diagnose performance bottlenecks and identify root causes – analyzing system behavior, identifying performance issues, and providing diagnostic insights rather than implementing performance tuning.
Product Scope & Buildability Validation
I help validate product scope and buildability – assessing whether your product idea can be built within realistic timelines and budgets, helping you avoid scope creep and technical surprises.
Project Triage & Stabilization Planning
I help triage troubled projects and create stabilization plans – quickly assessing what's wrong, prioritizing fixes, and creating actionable plans to get projects back on track.
Release Train & Delivery Risk Review
I review release processes and delivery risks – assessing how product and engineering work together to deliver features, identifying risks that could derail releases, and providing recommendations to improve delivery reliability.
Second-Opinion Technical Reviews for Founders
I provide independent second-opinion technical reviews for founders – offering unbiased assessment of technical decisions, architecture choices, and engineering recommendations to help you make informed decisions.
Security Baseline & Risk Review
I assess security baselines and review risks – evaluating your system's security posture, identifying vulnerabilities, and providing strategic recommendations rather than conducting penetration testing.
Technical Debt & Risk Audit
I conduct systematic audits that identify technical debt, assess risks, and prioritize remediation – helping teams understand what's slowing them down and what needs attention before it becomes critical.
