Seed-Series B founders hire me when technical uncertainty slows execution: roadmap thrash, architecture risk, or misalignment between business priorities and engineering reality.
I audit your technical reality with honesty: what's being built, why, and whether it maps to where you're going. I translate between the business and the engineering team. I help you decide what to build, what to buy, what to delay, and what to kill.
Seed to Series B companies with technical teams between two and twenty. Founders who are non-technical or technical founders too close to the work. Teams adopting AI tooling faster than engineering culture can absorb.
I don't write code for your product. I don't run sprints. I don't manage your backlog. I'm not staff augmentation. If that's what you need, I'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
Ongoing monthly retainer, 2-3 days per month. Direct access, real-time involvement in decisions as they arise.
Intensive 3-4 week engagement for a specific technical question or inflection point. Clear deliverable and recommendation.
One-time engagement for diligence, fundraising preparation, or post-incident assessment.
