Advisory Inquiries

I take a limited number of advisory and fractional leadership engagements—focused on high-stakes platform, cloud, and AI delivery decisions where senior judgment materially changes the outcome. That work builds on 25+ years of building engineering teams, shipping products, and leading transformations across startups and enterprise environments.

The best path in is LinkedIn. Send a short note with the business constraint, urgency, and scope. I respond to inquiries that are a clear fit.

High-value fit

• Platform or cloud transformations where cost, reliability, or delivery risk needs executive-level diagnosis and a credible path forward.
• AI-assisted engineering adoption requiring standards, governance, and measurement—not tool rollouts alone.
• Fractional technical leadership when a modernization or platform effort needs sustained senior judgment without adding permanent headcount.
• Technical strategy or diligence where executives or investors need a grounded read on engineering reality.

Not a fit

• Staff augmentation or implementation-only work without strategic context.
• Vendor pitches, speculative networking, or engagements where the answer is already decided.
• Low-stakes or undefined problems where advisory depth would not change the outcome.
