Technical leadership for founders who need a clear roadmap and an engineer who can execute it. I bring nearly 20 years of technical experience, an M.S. in Software Engineering, and experience building BlueBear from scratch while leading an engineering team.

We begin by agreeing on the product goals, current blockers and a paid initial scope. Work can include architecture review, delivery priorities, AI and API integrations, team guidance, code review, deployment and reliability improvements. You receive documented decisions, a prioritized action plan and implementation or oversight within the agreed scope.

Remote from Los Angeles. Target $100/hour cash; minimum $75/hour cash. Retainer and hours are agreed before work begins. My overall availability across commitments is capped at 20-30 hours/week. Equity or carried interest may supplement cash. Cloud, API and third-party costs are separate and agreed in advance.
