For consulting firms and agencies

An engineer for your client project

I'm an independent engineer. I work with consulting firms and agencies that need help building a feature, investigating a technical problem, or getting a project moving again. I can join your team for a stretch or take on a defined piece of work.

You manage the client relationship, pricing, and scope. I take responsibility for the engineering we agree on, using your team's tools and keeping the work and decisions visible as I go.

Tell me about the project Working with me directly

Where I fit

Investigating a problem

One hard problem: architecture, an AI system, developer tooling, or a diagnosis your team hasn't been able to close.

Getting a project moving

Investigate what's blocking a delivery, agree on the repair, and work through it with your team.

Start date and hours

I give you a start window and how involved I'll be once we've gone through the delivery, so it's a commitment I can keep.

Remote collaboration

I work remotely and use your team's tools to discuss changes and share progress.

Starting from what you have

I can start from the decision, the repo, or the failure report your team already has, and read up before I change anything.

Working with your firm

  • Confidential by default

    I can work under your firm's name. I keep the client and project confidential and won't share the relationship or results publicly without written permission.

  • The client relationship

    You decide the scope and handle the client's commercial questions. We agree on how I'll participate in project conversations.

  • What your team can see

    Your team can see the code, tests, decisions, and anything that needs attention.

  • Pricing

    I share my day rate once I understand the work. We agree on the scope, timing, and terms before I start, so you can account for them in your client proposal.
