Services
Consulting, scoped to the problem
Backend architecture, AI integration, and technical leadership for teams that need systems to hold up in production, not a menu of everything I've ever touched.
What I do
Core consulting services
Four areas where I've done the work before, at production scale.
Design and implement high-performance backend systems using Golang, with focus on scalability, maintainability, and cost optimization.
- Golang API development and optimization
- Architecture design
- Database optimization (PostgreSQL, Redis)
- Message queue implementation (Kafka)
Integrate AI capabilities into existing systems or build new AI-powered applications.
- LLM API integration (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude)
- Document processing and analysis systems
- AI-powered user interfaces
- Prompt engineering and optimization
Provide technical leadership for engineering teams, establish best practices, and mentor developers.
- Code review and quality assurance processes
- Technical team mentoring and development
- Architecture decision-making guidance
- Agile/Scrum implementation and optimization
Analyze and optimize existing systems for better performance, reduced costs, and improved scalability.
- Performance profiling and bottleneck identification
- AWS infrastructure cost optimization
- Database query optimization
- Caching strategy implementation
Focused work
Specialized solutions
Smaller, sharply-scoped engagements when you don't need the full build.
Design and build RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and integrate third-party services.
Technical SkillsRapid MVP development for startups and new product ideas. Focus on quick validation with production-ready architecture.
Case StudiesTechnical audits of existing systems. Identify performance bottlenecks, security issues, and optimization opportunities.
