Work With Me
Work With Me → Founders
I've made the mistakes
so you don't have to.
Strategic tech guidance for founders building something real. Think of me as the technical co-founder you can call before things get expensive.
The Problem
Building tech is hard.
Building it wrong is expensive.
Most founders don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because of bad tech decisions made too early ~ wrong stack, wrong hires, wrong priorities.
By the time you realize it, you've burned runway, lost time, and built something that doesn't scale.
I've been on both sides. I've made those calls. And I've learned what works.
What I Help With
Where I come in.
Technical Strategy
What to build, what to skip, and in what order.
Architecture Decisions
Stack choices that won't haunt you in 12 months.
Hiring & Team
When to hire, who to hire, and how to spot the right engineers.
Product & Roadmap
Turning vision into versions ~ scoped right, shipped fast.
AI & Automation
Where AI fits, where it doesn't, and how to build AI-first.
Investor Readiness
Tech due diligence prep and technical storytelling.

Advisory Retainer
Ongoing partnership. Weekly or biweekly calls, async access, architecture reviews.
