Service — Consulting & architecture
Senior judgment without the headcount.
Some decisions only need a few weeks of the right experience — a build-versus-buy call, a platform choice, an honest read on a codebase before you acquire it. We do that work and leave you with the reasoning, not just the verdict.

Fractional CTO
Most companies need senior judgment more often than they need a full-time senior salary.
Senior engineering leadership on a part-time basis: hiring, technical direction, vendor decisions, and the calls that are hard to unwind.
- Technical direction set with the business constraints in view
- Hiring plans, interview loops, and calibration for engineering roles
- Vendor and build-versus-buy decisions with the trade-offs written down

Technical due diligence
The point of diligence is to price the risk accurately, not to produce a clean report.
An honest assessment of a codebase, team, and infrastructure before an investment or acquisition — including the parts nobody volunteers.
- Code, architecture, and dependency review with severity ratings
- Delivery capability and key-person risk assessed alongside the code
- Findings quantified as remediation effort, not adjectives

Architecture review and roadmap
A roadmap is only useful if each step is shippable on its own.
A structured read of the current system and a sequenced plan to get it where the business needs it, with cost and risk attached to each step.
- Current-state architecture documented as it actually is
- Target state defined against business constraints, not fashion
- A sequenced plan where every stage delivers value by itself
Engineering Principles
Three things we hold to.
How we approach every engagement — the non-negotiables that keep systems maintainable, compliant, and buildable.
Evidence over opinion
Recommendations come with the measurements and code that led to them.
Say the unwelcome part
You are paying for an honest read. Softening the findings would waste the engagement.
Leave the reasoning behind
The deliverable includes why, so your team can make the next decision without us.
Engagement Outcomes
Production deliverables you own from day one.
Every engagement produces tangible codebases, automated pipelines, and operational specs your internal team actually runs.
Production Web Architecture
Full TypeScript React/Next.js product application built with strict schema validation, responsive state, and role-based permissions.
- Clean Git history with semantic commits
- Full end-to-end runtime & type safety
- Edge-optimized data fetching & caching
Enterprise Component Library
Documented component system enforcing consistent typography, spacing, accessible color contracts, and micro-interactions.
- WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance
- Storybook / isolated component docs
- Zero-runtime CSS token architecture
Core Web Vitals Harness
Automated performance instrumentation guaranteeing sub-second load times and distributed real-user monitoring.
- Strict budgets: LCP < 0.9s & INP < 150ms
- Automated Lighthouse regression CI gates
- Real-user monitoring & error telemetry
Operational Specs & Runbooks
Comprehensive architecture blueprints, deployment guides, and structured pairing sessions for your internal engineering team.
- Self-healing production deploy scripts
- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
- Paired engineering team transition
