Engagements

Two ways I work with teams

Engagements start at $5,000 a month. We set the scope on a 30-minute call, and you can pause or stop with a month's notice.

DevOps & Platform Engineering

Scale-ups with product-market fit and fragile infrastructure, and teams where agents now open a growing share of pull requests.

  • Infrastructure audit with a prioritized remediation plan
  • Terraform and IaC refactoring
  • Kubernetes upgrades and maintenance
  • CI/CD pipeline design and optimization
  • Guardrails for AI-generated code: review gates, test and lint policy in CI, sandboxed agent environments
  • Golden paths so engineers and their agents ship the same way
  • Cloud cost reduction and migrations

AICrete's hosting bill went from $6k to $1.9k a month after I moved them from Heroku to AWS.

AI Enablement

Teams putting agents into their product, or rolling out coding agents across their engineering org.

  • Agent harness and guardrail engineering
  • Code-mode agents with sandboxed execution (Firecracker, V8 isolates)
  • Private model routing and LLM gateways
  • Agentic search and retrieval
  • Coding-agent rollout: workflow, review practice, spend tracking
  • Architecture review of AI features before they reach production

At Urai, code-mode agents on uraiJS cost at least 50% less to run than the same tasks on structured tool calling.

Also available

Advisory CTO

Part-time technical leadership for early-stage startups that don't need a full-time executive yet.

  • Technical roadmap planning
  • Vendor and stack selection
  • Hiring and vetting your first engineers
  • Code reviews and RFC validation
  • Weekly sync and board attendance

Not sure which fits?

Many engagements start with a platform audit and grow into ongoing work. Bring the problem and we'll shape the scope together.
