Tell me what you are about to build. I will tell you if you should not.
Answer three questions. You get back the questions I would ask first, and my honest read on whether the thing is worth building. No call required, and nothing to book.
- 01What are your systems supposed to do?
- 02What do they do today?
- 03What are you about to spend money on?
You get a short voice note back, not a form reply. Inside 24 hours, free, and it stays free if the answer is do not build it.
Reach me directly
The one I read first. Answer the three questions or write two lines, both work.
Who should reach out.
Founders whose systems have outgrown the person who built them
Companies with engineers and nobody owning the architecture
Teams that have tools, and no one who knows what they cost to run
Anyone about to approve a spec and unsure whether it is the flexible one
I answer every message inside 24 hours. If it is not something I can help with, I say so and point you at who can. Some of my recommendations point away from hiring me, and that is on purpose. It is the only way the rest of the advice is worth anything.
