Consultant with experience as a software engineer at various enterprise-scale tech companies including Google and Amazon (AWS). Looking to help companies of all sizes solve business problems (often through automation and code) as a core-contributor or part-time CTO.
___
For early-stage startups, I typically focus on:
• Improving the time to market of feature development by evaluating the software delivery pipeline and investing in minimal viable release tooling.
• Increasing customer satisfaction by improving operational resiliency, thereby increasing service reliability
• Managing risk by choosing the right tools, establishing low-friction security best practices, and standing up essential monitoring tools.
___
For more mature startups, I typically focus on:
• Reducing the total cost of ownership of a product by addressing critical technical debt and lowering engineering overhead through automation, optimizing cloud compute resources, identifying optimizations in data storage solutions, and leaning on robust open source software.
• Reducing attrition through a combination of technical and operational practices inspired by the engineering culture at Google.
• Anticipating increased demand by designing modern elastic software architectures that can efficiently scale in and out to meet the complex needs of most established tech products.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote | 5-10 hours / week
I’m in the process of scaling up my consultancy, and I have a client right now who’s looking to add a major feature to their product with a strict early fall timeline.
I’m open to candidates with a variety of experience, but would ideally like someone relatively senior with strong frontend experience. For this project, the ideal candidate would have (at least one):
• Experience with Vue.js or similar framework
• Experience with Python and AWS Lambda
• Expert with Microsoft SQL Server
Looking for someone who can onboard quickly to new projects, read technical documentation, and contribute largely asynchronously. Also looking for someone who’s comfortable being utilized intermittently. The project is in-progress, but I’m still getting up to speed and defining areas that I would like to delegate, so it may be a few weeks before I can effectively bring someone on.
To apply, send me a copy of your resume, portfolio samples, or anything else that you think demonstrates your fit for the role. I’ll do my best to respond quickly. If you’re not a fit at this time, I’ll keep you in mind as I continue to scale into other projects.
