API-First System Design & Versioning Strategy
I help design API-first architectures that enable integration, support evolution, and maintain backward compatibility – focusing on design principles and versioning strategies rather than specific protocols.
Backlog Prioritization & Delivery Alignment Workshops
I facilitate workshops that align product and engineering on backlog prioritization and delivery planning – bridging the gap between product goals and engineering execution to ensure effective delivery.
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.
Containerization Readiness Audit
I assess your system's readiness for containerization, evaluating architecture, dependencies, and operational patterns – helping you understand what's needed before containerizing your platform.
Data Modeling & Integration Strategy
I help design data models and integration strategies that scale efficiently, maintain consistency, and support business growth – focusing on architectural patterns rather than specific database technologies.
Disaster Recovery & Resilience Design
I help design disaster recovery and resilience architectures that protect against failures, minimize downtime, and ensure business continuity – focusing on strategic design rather than operational implementation.
Engineering Leadership Advisory
I provide engineering leadership advisory at the CTO level – offering strategic technical leadership guidance, team enablement, and engineering direction without requiring a formal title or long-term management commitment.
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.
AI Integration Assessment & Strategy
I assess where AI can add value in your products and internal workflows – identifying opportunities for AI integration that deliver real value rather than AI hype, focusing on practical capabilities that solve problems.
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.
Security Hardening Framework Design
I help design security hardening frameworks and implementation strategies – establishing security standards and approaches that protect systems, following validation and assessment phases.
Server Migration & Platform Transition Planning
I help plan server migrations and platform transitions by evaluating options, assessing risks, and creating transition strategies – focusing on strategic decision-making rather than operational execution.
