Architecture & strategy consulting
Second opinion on stack, architecture, AI strategy — by the hour or per engagement.
A short, sharp engagement when you need a senior outside view: stack selection, architectural review, performance audit, AI strategy, hiring signal. Output is a written brief with concrete recommendations, ranked by ROI, with code-level pointers when relevant.
What you get
- Stack selection: Go vs PHP vs Node, Postgres vs Mongo, queue choice — with trade-offs.
- Architecture review: layered vs hexagonal vs microservices, where the bottleneck actually is.
- AI strategy: where LLMs help, where they cost more than they save, build-vs-buy.
- Performance audit: profiling, query plans, cache strategy, async vs sync.
- Hiring signal: read a candidate’s code, run a live design review.
- Format: 1-h call → written brief, or 1-day on-site / paired session.
