Hire the lab
Backend and infrastructure work, done carefully. I take on a small number of engagements at a time so each one gets the attention it deserves.
01
Backend system design & build
Greenfield services or untangling a monolith that's outgrown itself. API design, service boundaries, persistence layer, observability — built to be handed off to a team, not just to work.

02
AI / LLM backend infrastructure
The plumbing behind AI products: prompt pipelines, RAG systems, eval frameworks, model routing, and the observability to know when something silently breaks. No hand-waving about "prompt engineering".

03
Infrastructure & platform engineering
Cloud infrastructure that engineers can actually understand. Event streaming, job queues, service mesh, IaC — with runbooks and alerting so on-call isn't a nightmare.

04
Staff engineering advisory
A thinking partner for engineering leaders. Architecture reviews, RFC feedback, technical strategy, growing senior engineers — by the hour or on retainer. Useful when you need a second opinion without hiring a VP.
