What you can hire me for
Practical technical leadership, from first conversation to shipped product.
The best consulting work starts by understanding the business problem, then choosing the smallest durable technical path that can carry the product forward.
Product engineering
Plan and ship useful product work with a senior engineer who can move between technical strategy, architecture, and implementation.
AI-enabled product work
Use AI to move faster day-to-day, and integrate AI SDKs when it creates real product value with sensible evaluation, guardrails, and cost control.
Real-time systems
Build reliable real-time experiences with WebRTC, streaming, and event-driven interfaces where latency, observability, and failure modes matter.
Frontend architecture
Modernize React, Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, and design-system foundations so your team can change the product with less friction.
Why teams trust the work
Senior enough to shape the system, hands-on enough to ship it.
30+ years of software experience
Deep background across consulting, product teams, agency partnerships, startups, and enterprise brands.
Staff-level frontend architecture
React, Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, design systems, performance, accessibility, and developer experience.
Product-minded technical leadership
Comfortable working with founders, product managers, designers, backend teams, stakeholders, and engineers.
Hands-on delivery
Planning, implementation, testing, CI/CD, code review, release support, and practical communication.
When to bring me in
When the project needs senior judgment, not just more tickets closed.
I am useful when the work needs senior judgment, clear communication, and the ability to make progress inside real-world product, design, engineering, and stakeholder constraints.
- You need senior frontend or product engineering help without adding full-time headcount.
- Your team has a React, Next.js, or TypeScript project that is getting harder to change.
- You want to add AI features or automate workflows, but need senior judgment, implementation, and reliability safeguards.
- You are building real-time collaboration, audio/video, or live operational workflows and need WebRTC and real-time engineering experience.
- Your product depends on real-time data, media workflows, or GraphQL APIs that need stronger frontend architecture.
- You have a strong product idea and need technical direction plus implementation.
How engagements work
Start with the problem, then choose the right amount of help.
Some projects need a focused build. Others need architecture, modernization, or a senior technical partner who can keep the work moving while the team makes decisions.
- 1. Project read. We sort out the goal, audience, constraints, risks, codebase reality, and what success should look like.
- 2. Practical plan. You get a clear technical path, scope, tradeoffs, and a recommendation for the smallest durable next move.
- 3. Build and improve. I work hands-on with your team or independently to ship, modernize, stabilize, and document the work.
What leads usually need
A quick read on the work, then a concrete path to progress.
You do not need to arrive with a perfect brief. A useful first conversation can sort out the problem, the constraints, the likely risks, and whether I am the right fit.
A clearer plan for scope, architecture, and delivery.
Cleaner interfaces, data flows, components, and frontend workflows.
Better testing, CI/CD, review, and release confidence.
Direct communication with the person doing the technical work.
Selected consulting experience
Have a product, platform, or frontend project that needs senior help?
Bring the messy idea, aging codebase, or half-planned product. We will turn it into a clear plan and start shipping.
