How I Can Help
I provide high-impact, targeted expertise to solve your most complex technical challenges.
Strategic Architectural & Process Review
Technical problems are rarely just technical. They are often symptoms of deeper issues in a project's architecture, its development plan, or its core methodologies.
My expertise is in seeing the entire system—people, process, and code. I go beyond the codebase to analyze your technical roadmap and development workflow, identifying the true sources of friction that are holding your team back. By combining decades of architectural experience with targeted AI analysis, I deliver a clear, actionable plan to correct your course, eliminate complexity, and unlock your team's true velocity.
Technical Co-Founder as a Service
You have a brilliant idea and a solid business plan, but you're not a systems architect. You need to build a robust technical foundation, and you need to get it right the first time.
In this role, I act as your hands-on technical partner. I don't just give advice; I architect and build the core of your product, establish your tech stack, and implement the engineering practices that will allow you to scale. This prevents the costly technical debt and architectural dead-ends that can cripple a startup before it ever takes off.
The goal is to build a solid foundation, help you hire your first key engineers, and then transition to a long-term advisory role, ensuring you have the momentum and stability to succeed.
Systems & Performance Engineering
For projects where performance is non-negotiable, I architect solutions by selecting the optimal systems language and platform to meet the specific demands of the project and the capabilities of your team.
Knowledge & Collaboration Platforms
I create and scale powerful knowledge management solutions using MediaWiki, including custom extensions and performance tuning to support your team's growth.
A New Breed of Architect
My career began with creating the Gentoo and Funtoo Linux distributions, which required a fundamental understanding of how software and systems work together. Today, I apply that same first-principles thinking to a wider range of challenges.
My real value isn't in any single language, but in my ability to see the entire system, choose the right tool for the job, and leverage AI to build better software, faster. Whether it's a nimble Python service or a high-performance systems component, the goal is the same: clean, durable, and elegant solutions.
