Available for the right opportunities. Here's what that looks like.

Availability

Consulting

Infrastructure architecture, AI integration design, system audits. Project-based or advisory.

Fractional

Part-time infrastructure architect or AI engineering lead. Good fit for teams that need senior technical judgment without a full-time hire.

Contract

Defined scope, clear deliverables. Build the system, ship it, document it.

What I'm good at

  • - Designing data infrastructure that doesn't become technical debt
  • - Building AI integrations that actually work in production
  • - Automation pipelines that replace manual work (not just delay it)
  • - Full-stack architecture from database schema to edge function
  • - Turning "we should add tests" into a test suite that runs
  • - Debugging systems you inherited and don't fully understand yet

What I'm not

Not a project manager who writes architecture documents. Not a consultant who produces a 50-page recommendation and leaves. I build things and I operate them. If you need a talking head for a vendor selection process, I'm the wrong person.

Reach out

Email is the best way. I'll respond within 24 hours if the inquiry is serious.

Good openers

  • +"We have X infrastructure problem and need someone who can own it"
  • +"We want to add AI to Y system and need someone who understands both"
  • +"We inherited a data mess and need it cleaned up properly"
  • -"Can you take a quick look at our code?" (no scope, no respect for time)
  • -Unpaid "trial projects" or spec work
