Me, directly
You work with me hands-on: architecture, product, and the code itself. When the work outgrows my hours, I add an engineer I direct, at the same rate.
For established, non-technical businesses
Hand me the project. I’ll handle the internals of delivery.
You run an established business, not a software company. When you need a big technology project — a new platform, a migration, AI in your operations — I own it end to end: architecture, engineers, infrastructure, and shipping. You get the result and a straight answer on progress.
Sound familiar?
- A strategic technology project and no engineering department to run it
- Critical systems held together by plugins, spreadsheets, or one vendor
- Agencies that need constant managing, or hires you can’t justify full time
How we’d work together
Start small, prove value, then hand me the whole build.
01
Free consult
30 minutes on your problem. You leave with a concrete next step.
02
Audit & roadmap
$4k, 1 week: what to build, what to buy, what it costs.
03
Pilot project
One scoped build that proves value in weeks, not quarters.
04
Run your tech
Ongoing delivery: I own the internals — architecture, engineers, shipping — and report outcomes.
Me + an engineer
From day one, I own architecture, product, and management, and an engineer I direct handles implementation. One rate, more shipped per week.
Selected work
Delivery I’ve owned end to end for non-technical teams.
Current engagement
InnSure — Climate-risk analysis platform
Fractional CTO / Software Architect
Inherited a Replit-built beta that Massachusetts city administrators use for parcel-level flood risk. My week-one due diligence rejected the assumed greenfield rewrite in favor of lifting the monolith onto managed infrastructure. Since then: the first CI/CD, with per-PR Neon database branches (before, every pull request ran against production data), an S3 storage port verified byte-identical on real properties, and a production replacement environment stood up and verified.

Backend & data-migration lead
Moved a live, paying customer base of roughly 24,000 customers off WordPress, LearnDash and WooCommerce onto a modern stack. Existing customers sign in with their old passwords and are migrated transparently on first login, and the legacy and new billing rails behave identically, including self-serve reactivation. I authored 61 of 67 commits on the backend repo, which owns the schema and every migration.
