Work With Me

Most of my clients come through referrals. If someone sent you here, they probably told you the short version: I fix codebases that are holding teams back. Here’s the longer version.

Codebase Audit

What’s actually wrong, and what to do about it.

A focused diagnostic engagement. I read through the codebase, the CI/CD pipeline, the deploy process, and the test suite. You get a written report with a prioritized list of what’s blocking your team, what’s risky, and what I’d fix first. No vague “you have tech debt” conclusions: specific files, specific patterns, specific recommendations.

This is for you if: You suspect the codebase is the bottleneck but need an outside expert to confirm it and give you ammunition for the conversation with leadership.

Scope: 1–2 weeks. Fixed price.

Codebase Rescue

I go in and fix it.

The full engagement. I embed with your team (or work solo if there’s no team on this part of the codebase), and I do the work: framework upgrades, god model decomposition, CI/CD, deploy pipeline, test coverage, architecture. I work incrementally. You see progress in days, not months.

This is for you if: You know the codebase is the problem. You’ve tried to fix it internally and it didn’t stick. You need someone who’s done this 50 times before.

Scope: 4–12 weeks. Weekly rate.

Embedded Engineering

A senior engineer who operates independently.

For teams that need another senior-level contributor, not another person to manage. I pick up the work your team can’t get to, whether that’s legacy cleanup, new features, or a mix of both. I mentor your developers along the way and leave the codebase better than I found it.

This is for you if: You need senior-level output but don’t have the headcount, the time to hire, or the appetite for a full-time commitment.

Scope: Ongoing. Weekly rate.

Technical Advisory

Ongoing access to a senior engineer who’s seen this before.

For engineering leaders who don’t need hands-on-keyboard work right now but want a senior technical voice in the room. Architecture reviews, second opinions on build-vs-buy decisions, help evaluating contractors or new hires, gut-checks on technical direction. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t across 50+ codebases. You get that pattern recognition on call.

This is for you if: You’re a CTO or VP Eng at a growing company, you don’t have a peer-level technical advisor, and you’re making decisions that will be expensive to reverse.

Scope: Ongoing retainer. A few hours per week.

I’m based in Southeast Asia and a US citizen, available for remote work with US and international clients.
