Email’s fastest. The form below works too.
// I read everything that lands in my inbox. I reply within 48 hours to anything that’s not a recruiter pitch with the word “rockstar” in it. If you’re reaching out about work, the more concrete the better — what you’re building, what’s breaking, and what you’d want from me.

Open to fractional, consulting, and (right opportunity) full-time leads.
● Not taking on more <3-month MVPs.
● Speaking: 0 slots open in 2026.
Fractional / interim lead
Stepping in as tech lead for a 2–6 month chunk. Hiring, RFCs, codebase rescue, getting a team unstuck.
Architecture review
A focused 2-week engagement — I read everything, talk to the team, deliver a written assessment with 90-day priorities.
MVP ’to’ v1
Building a working product from blank repo to first 100 paying users. I’ll take ownership and a small team alongside.
Platform / infra rebuild
Ledgers, billing, auth, webhooks, multi-tenancy. The boring half of the stack that has to be right.
AI tooling, done sensibly
Agent runtimes, RAG-as-a-database, internal AI surfaces. The non-LinkedIn version.
Mentoring / pairing
Sliding scale (free for under-represented founders). Two 60-minute slots a week. Open to long-form pairing too.
Do you take on full-time roles?
Rarely. The bar is high — senior leadership at a company doing genuinely interesting infra, AI, or fintech. If that’s you, write me anyway.
Are you open to relocation?
Not currently. Remote-first. I’ll travel for offsites, kickoffs, and a good dinner.
Do you do equity-only?
Yes — if I’m on the founding team. No, if I’m being asked to consult for free for someone’s third side project.
What’s your billing model?
Weekly retainer for fractional work. Fixed-scope, fixed-price for reviews. Day rate for short engagements. All deliverables are written down before kickoff.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes — mutual NDAs, before any sensitive details. I keep a standard template ready. No, I don’t sign one-way ones with a non-compete buried in clause 14.
Can we just hop on a quick call?
Yes — if you can name the question in advance, in a sentence. Book a 30-minute slot ↗.
