ABOUT
External technical partner for companies that need software under control
I've spent 20 years turning messy systems into reliable delivery, from telecom QoE research and UX to full-stack engineering and applied AI.
Today I help owners, managers, and founders supervise vendors, assess fast-built prototypes, reduce project risk, and use automation only where it has clear ownership and measurable value.

How I work
Direct technical judgement
I will tell you what is reasonable, what is risky, and what needs to be decided before the project moves forward.
Outcome-driven
I do not sell hours. I deliver clear recommendations, risk lists, and practical next steps.

Every engagement includes handover and a decision log, so your team can operate independently after my work is done.

Technical operating partner support for companies without a senior internal technical owner
Prototype readiness review for AI-built, no-code, low-code, or fast-built apps
