Services (10)
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.
Interview Bar Calibration & Hiring Support
I help calibrate interview standards and support hiring processes – ensuring consistent quality assessment, improving hiring decisions, and signaling focus on engineering quality through structured interview processes.
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.
Performance Testing Framework & Strategy Design
I help design performance testing frameworks and strategies – establishing testing approaches and standards that enable effective performance validation rather than implementing individual test suites.
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.
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.
