Senior from the first hour.

Technical leadership without a full-time hire.

Unblock the roadmap, coach the team into sharper instincts, and supply the architectural clarity that keeps a product from painting itself into a corner— the corner you can't see from inside the sprint. The work is decisions: what to build, what to kill, what to never touch again; where the next order of magnitude of scale breaks, and what it costs to be ready before it does.

Track record: currently engaged as Director of Engineering for a landscaping SaaS platform running well past a million lines.

A CTO-level read of the codebase and the architecture — before you wire the money.

Security-focused by default: we read the code the way an attacker reads the product and the way an acquirer reads the risk. We find the systemic vulnerabilities checklist audits are built to miss — the trust boundary nobody documented, the dependency that quietly owns you, the design decision that will cost a rewrite. You get a report you can act on, ranked by what actually threatens the deal — not a PDF to file.

Concept to a working v0.1 in a four-week sprint.

TypeScript, Rust, Python, embedded hardware — if it touches software, sensors, or AI, we can build the first honest version: one that runs, that you can put in front of a user or an investor, and that tells you the truth about whether the idea holds. A prototype is a decision-making instrument, not a pitch prop — so it's built to be measured against, not admired.
