I help candidates unblock real job work, and I help companies ship with 3–4 focused hours of senior engineering every day.

Who it's for
Same senior engineer. Different engagement — personal backup when you're stuck, or part-time capacity for your team.
For candidates
Personal backupHourly → monthly
Flexible support
You're capable — you just need senior backup when the ticket is new, the bug is weird, or the sprint is overloaded. I pair with you on real work so you ship and grow.
For companies
Team capacity3–4 hrs / day
Senior capacity
Need production help without a full-time hire? I embed with your team for focused daily blocks — shipping features, owning backlog items, and raising code quality.
Sound familiar?
Whether you're drowning in tickets or hiring for hours you don't have — this is senior help on the work that matters now.
You're capable. You just need a senior engineer in your corner — for the ticket, the sprint, or 3–4 hours a day on the product.

“I got assigned a feature I've never built before.”
How I help
I pair on architecture, implementation, and review — you ship confidently and learn as you go.
“This bug is blocking my sprint and I'm out of ideas.”
How I help
We find the root cause together and fix it without creating more debt for next week.
“We need a senior for a few hours a day — not a full-time headcount.”
How I help
I join as part-time engineering capacity: backlog ownership, reviews, and delivery you can count on.
“We want AI in the product, but the team is already maxed.”
How I help
I build agents and automations from proof of concept to production — then hand them off cleanly.
Same engineer. Two engagement models — personal backup for candidates, daily part-time capacity for companies.
See support modelsWhat I help with
I work on your actual tickets, repos, and deadlines. Everything stays confidential between us.
01
Daily task & feature support
Hands-on work on your tickets — APIs, UI, databases, refactors, and integrations that need to ship this week.
02
Code review & quality
PR reviews, performance checks, security basics, and cleaner patterns your team will actually adopt.
03
Architecture guidance
Schema decisions, service boundaries, and how to explain trade-offs clearly to seniors or stakeholders.
04
AI agents & automation
OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini integrations — booking agents, dispatch, RAG, and internal automations that do real work.
05
DevOps & deployment
CI/CD, AWS, Docker, staging environments, and deployment issues that eat evenings.
06
Team mentoring
Pairing that levels up your engineers while delivery keeps moving — knowledge stays with the team.
How it works
01
Share the situation
Candidate stuck on a ticket, or company needing part-time capacity — tell me the stack, blocker, and timeline.
02
Pick the model
Hourly unblock for one-offs, monthly backup for candidates, or a 3–4 hour daily block for companies.
03
Work together
Pair on calls, async on Slack, or I take tasks directly — whatever fits your workflow and confidentiality needs.
04
Ship with confidence
You deliver on time. Candidates grow. Companies get senior output without full-time overhead.
Flexible pricing
Hourly and monthly for candidates. Custom daily part-time for companies that need 3–4 hours of senior engineering every day.

10+ years shipping production code — frontend, backend, databases, cloud, and AI. If your stack isn't listed, ask anyway. I pick up new tools fast.

Your work, your company, your code — stays between us. NDA available on request.
Also need a fractional CTO?
I also help non-technical founders with hiring, architecture, and product strategy.

Straight answers on pricing, confidentiality, and how the engagement actually works — for candidates and companies.
Sprint unblock is $10/hr, pay-as-you-go, for a single bug, feature, or review when you're stuck right now — minimum 1-hour engagement. Part-time backup is $199/month for ongoing support: 60 hours a month, Slack access, and code reviews for candidates who need a senior in their corner every week, not just once.
Yes. Everything discussed stays between us, and an NDA is available on request for candidates and companies alike.
I embed with your team for a focused daily block — shipping features, owning backlog items, joining code reviews, and syncing async on Slack or your existing tools. It's remote with flexible timezone overlap, structured around your workflow rather than a rigid schedule.
For hands-on work, yes — repo and relevant environment access, scoped to what's needed for the ticket or feature at hand. Access follows whatever process your team already uses for contractors, and an NDA covers confidentiality.
That's exactly what Sprint unblock is for — hourly, no monthly commitment, minimum 1 hour. Move to Part-time backup later only if the need becomes ongoing.
Usually within a day of the intro call. Share your stack, the blocker, and timeline on the call, and we pick the engagement model — hourly, monthly, or daily part-time — that fits.
Yes — remote, worldwide, with flexible timezone overlap. Most communication happens async on Slack, with calls scheduled around whatever overlap works for both sides.
