// OUR ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Senior engineering without the full-time CTO salary.

You don't need a $200k full-time hire when building with AI. You need high-impact senior engineering to audit your foundations, patch critical vulnerabilities, and guarantee your app scales cleanly.

FLAGSHIP DIAGNOSTIC 48 Hours Turnaround

The 48-Hour Production Readiness Audit

A comprehensive, line-by-line inspection of your application repository. Perfect for founders preparing to launch, onboard paying customers, or demo to investors.

What's Included:
  • ✓ Comprehensive credential scan (validates API key isolation and environment security)
  • ✓ Database health check (RLS security policies, query index optimization, connection pooling)
  • ✓ Stripe & payment reliability (webhook replay prevention, checkout state synchronization)
  • ✓ Frontend bundle audit (inspects network payloads for exposed server secrets)
  • ✓ Non-technical Executive Health Scorecard + prioritized remediation plan
PRODUCTION HARDENING 1 to 2 Weeks Sprint

Architecture Hardening & Scale Sprint

We step into your repository and implement production-grade architectural improvements directly: connection pooling, idempotent webhook handlers, caching layers, and CI/CD.

What's Included:
  • ✓ Direct, tested GitHub Pull Requests with clear explanations
  • ✓ Database connection pooling & migration setup (PgBouncer, Prisma, Drizzle)
  • ✓ Stripe webhook idempotency implementation
  • ✓ Automated error monitoring & alerts (Sentry / Logflare)
  • ✓ Production deployment verification & performance benchmarking
CUSTOM BUILD & MODERNIZATION Project-Based

Full-Stack & Cloud Architecture

Bespoke software development for core product features, API backends, edge serverless migrations, and intelligent workflow integrations.

What's Included:
  • ✓ High-throughput web applications and microservices (TypeScript, Astro, Next.js, Go)
  • ✓ Edge infrastructure and serverless migrations (Cloudflare Pages, Workers, AWS)
  • ✓ Database schema design, indexing, and zero-downtime migrations
  • ✓ Deterministic AI workflow integration with strict schema verification
  • ✓ Clean architecture with complete automated test coverage
ONGOING ADVISORY Monthly Retainer

Fractional Senior Tech Lead

What's Included:
  • ✓ Async GitHub PR reviews for every major feature branch
  • ✓ Weekly architectural office hours with senior engineering lead
  • ✓ Emergency production triage & outage response
  • ✓ Cloud vendor cost optimization reviews
  • ✓ Zero junior hand-offs: direct access to lead engineers
