Start with the problem. Agree the work. Build from there.
I work directly with agencies and founders on software development and technical leadership. The right engagement depends on the problem, the people already involved, and the responsibility you need me to take.
Three ways to start
Technical assessment
For situations where the next step is unclear. I review the relevant product, codebase, architecture, or workflow and identify the risks and decisions that matter. The deliverable is an assessment with prioritized recommendations.
Scoped implementation
For a defined feature, integration, application, or improvement. We agree what is included, who is responsible for dependencies, how progress will be reviewed, and what completion looks like.
Ongoing technical support
For work that needs continuing engineering or leadership. This can include architecture decisions, implementation, team support, or a fractional CTO role. We define the time allocation and responsibilities in the proposal.

What the process looks like
-
1
Initial conversation. Understand the business goal, current situation, and constraints.
-
2
Proposal. Agree the scope, deliverables, responsibilities, timing, and fee before starting.
-
3
Delivery. Work through the agreed priorities, share progress, and surface decisions or scope changes as they arise.
-
4
Handover or continuation. Document the delivered work and agree whether there is a useful next engagement.
Which route fits your situation?
Agencies can bring me into client delivery. Founders can engage me for product engineering or ongoing technical direction.
