How I Help
When It Matters
I’m not building a consulting brand. But I do take on limited work—especially when a system is complex, brittle, or at a turning point and you need someone who can see the whole landscape.
Work I’m Best At
High-leverage work that reduces complexity, increases reliability, and makes a system safe to evolve.
Architecture review
Clarify boundaries, risks, data ownership, and integration seams.
- • “What breaks next?” assessment
- • Target-state map + migration path
- • Operational responsibilities
Integration & platform work
Payments, identity, APIs, legacy bridges—where the complexity usually lives.
- • Stripe + ecosystem integration
- • API design and hardening
- • Data migration + reconciliation
Modernization
Incremental upgrades without breaking production or rewriting the world.
- • Legacy code containment
- • Safer deployment patterns
- • Performance + stability work
Reliability & security
Reduce surprises; improve visibility; harden critical paths.
- • Threat modeling and pragmatic hardening
- • Monitoring/alerts and error hygiene
- • Least-privilege data handling
Product build support
Ship the next slice with clarity and a long-term frame.
- • “Smallest real thing” iterations
- • UX + system design alignment
- • Sustainable velocity
When it’s not a fit
I’m probably not the right choice if you want:
- • pure staff augmentation
- • high ceremony / heavy process
- • a “big-bang rewrite” by default
A Practical Next Step
If you reach out, include: what the system does, what’s painful right now, what would “better” look like in 90 days, and where the risk is concentrated. I’ll respond with a straightforward recommendation.
