Frequently Asked Questions
I work with founders, startups, and enterprises on full-stack development, technical architecture, and scaling challenges. My focus is on projects where I can contribute meaningfully, either architecting systems, leading technical strategy, or building core product infrastructure. I'm most excited about fintech, SaaS, and deep-tech ventures, but I evaluate every opportunity based on team fit and technical challenge.
Selectively. I prioritize full-time roles and strategic engagements where I can make long-term impact. However, I'm open to specific projects where I can deliver significant value, usually complex technical challenges, architecture decisions, or MVP-to-launch situations. If you have something specific in mind, reach out and we can discuss.
It depends on scope. MVPs can launch in 4-8 weeks with focused execution. Scaling systems and architectural migrations typically take 3-6 months. I'm transparent about timelines and build realistic estimates. I also prefer to work with teams that understand the quality vs. speed tradeoff, I won't compromise on reliability for velocity.
Absolutely. Some of my best projects involved non-technical founders. I translate between business goals and technical execution, help make infrastructure decisions, and explain trade-offs in terms that matter to your business. I've also helped founders pitch to investors by ensuring technical decisions support growth narratives.
I'm stack-agnostic, I choose technology based on problem requirements, not preference. That said, I'm most productive with Node.js, React, Next.js, Flutter, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/Docker/Kubernetes). I also have solid experience with Python, Laravel, and blockchain/Web3. The best tech stack is the one that solves your problem efficiently.
I design for scale from day one. Even if you're starting small, I architect assuming 10x growth. This means microservices, efficient databases, caching strategies, CDN optimization, and DevOps pipelines are baked in from the beginning. It costs slightly more upfront but saves 10x the cost in refactoring later.
Yes. I've worked with multiple startups preparing for investor conversations. I help ensure your technical architecture is solid (investors ask about this), your metrics are defensible, your roadmap is realistic, and your team is technically credible. I've also helped articulate why technical decisions matter to business outcomes.
I'm based in GMT (UTC+0) and prefer asynchronous communication for most work, but I'm flexible with sync meetings when needed. I typically respond to emails/messages within 24 hours. For urgent matters, let me know your preferred contact method and timezone.
Yes. I offer architectural consulting for existing systems, code reviews to identify technical debt, and strategic guidance on scaling challenges. I can also mentor engineering teams on best practices, design patterns, and DevOps optimization. Reach out to discuss scope and rates.
