Book the cyber security audit
What you walk away with

An end-to-end audit of your web app, cloud, and team workflows — delivered as a board-ready report and a prioritized fix list, not a 200-page PDF graveyard.

  • OWASP-aligned vulnerability findings with fix recipes
  • Cloud (AWS) hardening checklist your devs can ship
  • AI-assisted threat modeling against social engineering
STEP 01

30-min kickoff to map assets, data flows, attack surface, and risk appetite — no NDA gymnastics.

STEP 02

Threat modeling

STRIDE plus AI-augmented analysis to surface paths attackers will actually take.

STEP 03

Vulnerability scan & manual review

Automated scans + manual code, infra, and IAM review to catch what tools miss.

STEP 04

Targeted exploitation

Controlled, authorized testing of the highest-risk paths to confirm severity.

STEP 05

Executive + dev report

One narrative for leadership, one fix-it backlog for engineering — both in the same doc.

Two weeks of async pairing with your team to land the fixes and re-test.

Book the ai business automation
What you walk away with

We map the busywork drowning your team, then ship pragmatic AI agents and automations that pay for themselves before the engagement ends.

  • Automation backlog ranked by hours saved per week
  • Production AI agents in your existing stack

STEP 01

Workflow audit

Shadow your team for a week, capture every repetitive action, time it, and rank by ROI.

Use-case mapping

Pick the 3–5 automations with the highest payback. Reject the shiny-object ones.

STEP 03

AI stack design

Choose models, vector stores, integrations, and guardrails that match your data sensitivity.

STEP 04

Build & ship

Iterate in 1-week sprints with your team in the loop. Ship to production, not to a demo.

STEP 05

Adoption & training

Hands-on enablement so adoption sticks after I leave — including prompts, runbooks, and dashboards.

STEP 06

Optimize

Two-week tuning window: cut latency, cost, and hallucinations. Lock in the metrics.

What you walk away with

12+ years architecting multi-tenant SaaS distilled into a system design, tech stack, and roadmap your team can build against on day one.

STEP 02

Architecture blueprint

Service map, data model, async flows, integration surface — drawn so juniors can follow.

STEP 03

Tech selection

Opinionated stack (Node / Python / AWS / Postgres) chosen for hire-ability, not hype.

STEP 04

Scalability + cost model

Load profile, scaling triggers, and a real cloud bill at 10× and 100× users.

STEP 05

Build oversight

Weekly architecture review while your team builds — catch drift before it costs a sprint.

Pre-launch hardening

Security, observability, and disaster-recovery review against the original blueprint.

Fixed-fee · 4 – 8 weeks · 14-day refund
Book the project success consultancy
What you walk away with

Most projects fail on coordination, not code. I plug in as your fractional CTO, find the bottlenecks, and unblock them in days — not quarters.

  • Diagnostic report on why the project is stuck
  • Re-baselined roadmap with realistic dates
  • Vendor / hire / fire recommendations
  • Weekly steering with founders and engineering

Project audit

Read the code, the tickets, the Slack — and talk to everyone. Find the real blockers in week one.

STEP 02

Risk mapping

Rank what will kill the project vs what just looks scary. Communicate it without politics.

STEP 03

Roadmap reset

New plan with cuts, not just additions. Buy back the runway you actually need.

STEP 04

Team & process coaching

Stand-ups that work, code reviews that ship, hiring that doesn't waste 6 months.

STEP 05

Delivery oversight

Weekly steering with founders + engineering until the next milestone is in production.

STEP 06

Handover

Documented decisions, lightweight playbook, and an honest post-mortem of what changed.

From landing page to complex web application — I design and build performant, accessible, and secure web products your users will actually enjoy using.

  • Production-ready codebase with CI/CD pipeline
  • Core Web Vitals optimised for speed and SEO
  • Accessible, responsive UI across all viewports

High-fidelity wireframes and component library agreed upfront, killing scope creep at the root.

STEP 03

Foundation build

Next.js / Node stack, database schema, auth, and CI/CD wired up in week one — everything that follows is additive.

Two-week sprints with demos after each. You see working software, not status decks.

QA & performance

Automated tests, Lighthouse audits, and manual cross-browser review before any release.

Zero-downtime deploy, monitoring dashboards live, and a recorded walkthrough so your team owns it.

$2,500 – $15,000 USD
Fixed-fee · 6 – 16 weeks · 14-day refund
Book the mobile app development
What you walk away with

Skip the two-team, two-codebase trap. I ship polished, performant mobile apps using React Native that users mistake for native — and ship them on the timeline founders actually need.

  • App Store & Play Store submissions handled
  • Offline-first architecture with sync strategy
  • Push notifications, deep links, and analytics wired
  • Performance profiled to 60 fps on mid-range devices

STEP 02

UI design system

Mobile-first component library with platform-appropriate patterns — no reskinned websites.

STEP 03

Core architecture

Navigation, state management, API layer, and auth configured before feature work begins.

STEP 04

Feature sprints

Testable builds on TestFlight and Play Internal Track every two weeks — you test on a real device.

Device & OS testing

Regression suite across iOS 16+ and Android 12+, plus manual testing on physical devices.

STEP 06

Store submission & launch

App Store and Google Play submissions, metadata, screenshots, and review-response support included.

/ How we'll work

A four-step engagement designed for skeptics.

Every project I take on uses the same shape — refined over a hundred kickoffs. It removes the parts of consulting that waste your time and budget.

01

30-min fit call

I learn your goal, your constraints, and the deadline you're worried about. If we're not a fit, I tell you who is.

02

1-page proposal

Scope, deliverables, price, timeline, and the exit clause. No fluff. Sent within 48 hours.

03

Kickoff in 7 days

Async-first, weekly steering, daily Slack overlap with your team.

04

Ship → review → refund window

Day 14 you decide: keep going, adjust scope, or walk with a full refund.

14-day refund · no clauses

If the first two weeks aren't ROI-positive, you don't pay.

One email, full refund — no exit interview, no awkwardness. I'd rather lose a fee than work on something that isn't moving your business forward.

/ FAQ

The five questions
every founder asks.

If yours isn't here, ask it on the call — I prefer the awkward questions early.

  • If, within 14 days of kickoff, you don't believe the engagement will deliver real value, email me and I refund 100% — no clauses, no follow-up emails, no awkwardness.

  • Yes — most of my best engagements are with non-technical founders who need a senior technical brain in their corner. I translate, not lecture.

  • Standard mutual NDA before any sensitive work — I keep one on file or sign yours, whichever is faster.

  • That's where most consultancy engagements land. I'm built for messy mid-flight projects, not greenfield slideware.

  • Asia / Europe / US — I keep core overlap with US East and EU CET, async-first the rest of the time.
