Scale your product without breaking

Your MVP is launched, users are growing, but architecture is creaking at the seams. Let's optimize the system, eliminate technical debt, and build sustainable growth.

Challenge

Scaling is hard

Product is growing, but performance is dropping
Technical debt is slowing development
Number of outages and bugs is increasing
Team spends more time fixing than creating

Worried the system will break under load

How we work:

Weekly sync with founders - priorities, blockers, technical strategy
Code review and architecture ownership - I'm in your codebase, not just on calls
Hands-on hiring: job descriptions, sourcing strategy, technical interviews, offer calibration
Technical debt triage - identifying what slows the team down and what can wait
CI/CD and developer productivity review - testing strategy, deployment pipeline, dev environment
Engineering delivery oversight - sprint reviews, velocity tracking, quality gates
Production incident support - emergency availability during critical outages
Async access via Slack (24-hour response time)
