Most expensive software mistakes happen before a line of code is written: the wrong platform, the wrong vendor, a rebuild that didn't need to happen, or an estimate nobody sanity-checked. Software consulting is how you avoid paying for those lessons yourself.
I advise business owners and teams as a senior full-stack engineer — someone who still builds and ships, not a slide-deck consultant. Whether you're choosing between off-the-shelf and custom, evaluating an agency's proposal, untangling a stalled project, or planning where AI actually fits, you get a straight technical opinion grounded in what it really takes to build and maintain.
A clear-eyed plan for what to build, what to buy, and what to skip — matched to your budget and where the business is actually headed.
An independent review of your codebase, infrastructure, or an agency's work — what's solid, what's fragile, and what it will cost you later.
A second opinion on quotes, proposals, and platform choices before you sign — so you know if the scope, stack, and price actually hold up.
When a build has stalled or gone sideways, I diagnose why, salvage what's worth keeping, and lay out the realistic path to shipped.
We dig into the actual problem — the systems, the code, the proposal, or the plan — not just the symptoms.
You get specific, prioritized recommendations in plain English, with the trade-offs and costs spelled out.
I can advise your team as they execute, vet the vendor doing the work — or build it myself if that's the right fit.
An agency's incentive is to sell you a build. My consulting is independent — sometimes the right answer is off-the-shelf software, a smaller scope, or fixing what you have. When building is the answer, I can do that too, but the advice comes first.
Straightforward: focused engagements like a code review or proposal evaluation are fixed-price, and ongoing advisory is a simple retainer or hourly arrangement. Email me what you're facing and I'll tell you what it takes — no discovery-call gauntlet.
Yes — independent code and architecture reviews are one of the most common engagements. You'll get an honest assessment of quality, security, and maintainability, and what to do about any gaps.
Yes. I help businesses figure out where AI genuinely pays off in their operations and where it's hype — then design and build the integrations that make sense.
Tell me what you're building and I'll get back to you within one business day — no sales runaround.
