Product Engineering
Full-stack builds, MVPs, and the unglamorous reliability work that keeps them alive. I ship features, not slide decks.

Current state
Read the room before changing it.
Four ways to bring the operating picture into focus. Choose the pressure point, not the buzzword.
available / product-engineering
Technical Strategy & Architecture
Fractional CTO work, architecture reviews, and second opinions on the calls that are costly to get wrong.
De-risk the expensive decisionsAI & Automation
LLM-powered features, agentic workflows, and automation that does actual work — not demos that never leave the lab.
Remove real cost from the businessCloud & Delivery
Serverless infrastructure, CI/CD, and edge deployment done right — fast, cheap to run, and boring to operate.
Ship it properlyRecorded engagement
Real work.
No trophy wall.
CLIENT / 001
European restaurant SaaS
Supporting a European restaurant SaaS business with dependable software delivery. The work is the evidence; there is no invented testimonial here.
Handover protocol
From noisy room to clean release.
Inspect, decide, ship, and keep the loop open after the handover.
Discovery
We start with the problem, not the tech. Constraints, budget, timeline, and what 'done' actually looks like for you.
Plan & de-risk
A clear scope, architecture, and milestones — with the risky and expensive decisions surfaced early, not after you've paid for them.
Build & ship
Iterative delivery you can see. Working software in small increments, production-ready from the first release rather than a big-bang launch.
Support & scale
Once it's live, I stay in the loop — monitoring, iteration, and scaling as the product earns its growth. No hand-off into a void.
Questions / before escalation
What happens after the call?
What kind of work do you take on?
Software consulting across the whole lifecycle — building products from scratch, advising on architecture and technical strategy, adding AI and automation to existing products, and getting things deployed properly on modern cloud infrastructure. If it's software and it needs to ship, it's in scope.
Do you work solo or with a team?
Both. I take on focused engagements solo, and I can plug into an existing team as an extra senior pair of hands or a technical advisor. For larger builds I bring in trusted people I've worked with before.
How do you charge?
Depending on the engagement: fixed scope for well-defined projects, a monthly retainer for ongoing product or fractional-CTO work, and a day rate for advisory and reviews. We agree on the model up front — no surprises on the invoice. Payments can be handled through Deel.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. Everything is remote-first and I've worked across time zones. Location doesn't matter — clear communication and reliable delivery do.
