I build at the frontier, and bring what works to you.
I spend my time hands-on with early-stage startups, building with the newest tools as they land. Then I bring the parts that are genuinely ready into established businesses that have outgrown their technology.
Thirty minutes, no pitch, no charge.
Know exactly where modern technology pays off in your business.

Fixed fee. Two reviews available per month.
Most businesses running on ageing technology don't need a strategy deck. They need someone who can build.
The two halves of my work feed each other. Startups keep me current on what is genuinely ready, not just what demos well. Established businesses taught me governance, security and what enterprise buyers actually demand before they sign. You get both, without the experiments that waste a year, and your team keeps everything I learn.
