- Production architecture blueprint
- OpenTofu or GitOps implementation
- Staging rollout and verification
- Runbooks and handover
Fractional Platform
Dedicated senior platform engineering capacity for an active product team.
- Guaranteed weekly senior engineering capacity
- Architecture reviews and roadmap
- Priority incident response
- Pairing and developer tooling
No mystery hours.
For work that cannot be scoped upfront, I’ll explain why, define the first useful milestone, and keep the decision reversible.
Questions, answered
Cost, scope and timing.
How much does an engagement cost?
Engagements are scoped rather than sold as packages. Architecture audits and migration sprints are fixed-price; scope, deliverables, timing, and fees are agreed in writing before work begins. Ongoing platform work runs as a monthly fractional retainer.
How long does an engagement take?
An architecture audit is a fixed scope and ends with a 90-minute readout. A migration sprint runs for two weeks. A fractional platform engagement is a monthly retainer with guaranteed weekly senior engineering capacity.
What does an architecture audit include?
Infrastructure and cost review, a risk and dependency map, a written gap analysis, and a 90-minute readout.
What does a migration sprint include?
A production architecture blueprint, OpenTofu or GitOps implementation, a staging rollout with verification, and runbooks with handover.
How do we start?
Most engagements begin with a short alignment call and a scoping agreement, and can kick off within 3–5 business days.
Have a hard system problem?
Bring the messy version.
We can start with a 15-minute conversation and a shared map of what is actually happening.
