Slow APIs, cloud bills nobody can explain, month-end failures that won't reproduce, AI projects that never quite ship. I've spent 10+ years fixing exactly these inside live SaaS products.
You get a written diagnosis, the real options with their trade-offs, and a fixed price to fix it — usually before you'd have finished interviewing a new hire.
No pitch, no qualification call. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help — and what it would cost.
Sound familiar?
Your product works. But every one of these costs you money monthly — in engineer hours, cloud spend, or churn — and gets more expensive the longer it runs.
Every screen feels heavier than it should. Support tickets are starting to mention it.
No single line item is insane, but the monthly total keeps growing and nobody can explain why.
It fails at month-end, at scale, on real data — and never on anyone's laptop.
Everyone wants it in the product. Nobody can say what it should actually do, or what it will cost per call.
Hiring another developer takes three months and doesn't solve any of these. What you need is someone senior who has fixed them before— for ten days, not for a salary.
Engagements
Pick the one that matches your problem. Every engagement is fixed scope and fixed price, agreed before I start. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so honestly and point you somewhere that is.

I go through your codebase, your infrastructure and your cloud bill. You get a written diagnosis: what is actually slow, what it is costing you, what to fix first — and what to safely ignore. Yours to keep whether or not you hire me for the fix.
Best for: You suspect something is wrong but can't get a straight answer internally.

Scoped after a short call
Where AI actually belongs in your product, and how to build it — architecture, data, evaluation, and cost per call. You end with a working system running on your real data, not a demo bolted to the marketing page.
Best for: Everyone wants AI in the product and nobody can say what it should do.

Priority slot
Something is slow, broken or stuck, and it is costing you today. I get in, find the root cause with your real data and your real logs, fix it, and leave it in a state your team can run without me.
Best for: It's failing in production and your team has already lost weeks to it.

A senior technical partner for the decisions you shouldn't make alone — architecture, hiring, roadmap, build-versus-buy. In your Slack, in your interviews, on call for your team.
Best for: You're making CTO-level calls without a CTO.
Discuss a fractional engagementMost engagements land between $250 and $1,500 depending on scope. If that sits outside your budget, say so in your first message — I'll tell you straight and point you to someone good rather than waste a call.
Testimonials
Founders I've worked with — on judgment, delivery, and being able to make decisions with confidence.
Rajendra doesn't just write code — he explains it in a way that lets me make decisions with confidence. That's rare, and it's exactly what a growing firm like ours needed.

We needed someone who could move fast without breaking things. Rajendra shipped clean, reliable work every time — no hand-holding required.

Process
A short, structured engagement from symptom to solution — with a fixed price agreed before I start. Not an open-ended retainer that quietly never ends.
01
Days 1–4. I investigate with your code, your logs and your numbers — not assumptions. You hear from me as I find things, not at the end.
02
Days 5–6. A written diagnosis in plain language: what's wrong, the real options, the trade-offs, and what each costs. You decide; I advise.
03
I do the work at a price agreed up front, and stay until the numbers move. Measurably better, or we're not finished.
04
Documented systems, a handover your team can actually run with, and far less mystery than you started with. The goal is not needing me again.
My position
A rewrite is sometimes the right answer — but it should be the conclusion of an investigation, not the starting point. If someone has already told you your system is too old and needs rebuilding, get a second opinion before you commit six to twelve months and a budget to it.
Most of the time the real problem is three specific things, and fixing them takes weeks, not quarters.
Who I'm not for
Saying this up front saves us both a call:
Next step
You don't need a spec, a budget approved, or a tidy summary. Send the symptoms and what you've already tried. That's enough for me to give you a useful answer.

Two paragraphs is plenty. No NDA needed to describe a slow API.

With my honest read on what's likely happening — free, no call required.
We scope it, or we don't
If it's a fit you get a fixed price and a start date. If not, I'll say so.
