Get an Honest Technical Assessment Before You Spend More Money on Software
I review architectures, audit codebases, evaluate AI plans, and help founders and teams make practical technical decisions — without the consultant jargon or upsells.
This Is For You If
Consulting Areas
Architecture Review
System design, database structure, API design, deployment setup — I identify issues and risks before they become expensive problems.
Codebase Audit
Deep-dive into your codebase — code quality, security gaps, performance bottlenecks, and maintainability assessment.
SaaS Planning
Multi-tenancy strategy, billing architecture, scalability planning, and go-to-market technical readiness assessment.
AI Integration Strategy
Where AI actually makes sense in your workflows, feasibility analysis, cost estimation, and integration architecture.
Laravel Optimization
Query optimization, caching strategy, queue management, and infrastructure tuning for Laravel applications at scale.
Tech Stack Selection
Unbiased guidance on framework, database, and infrastructure choices — based on your use case, not my personal preference.
What You Get
Written Audit Report
A detailed document (typically 5-15 pages) covering findings, severity levels, and clear explanations — not just a list of issues.
Prioritized Recommendations
Ranked action items categorized as critical, important, and nice-to-have. Practical steps, not theoretical advice.
Architecture Diagram
Visual representation of proposed or improved system architecture — included when the scope calls for it.
Follow-Up Call
30-60 minute call to walk through the findings, answer questions, and discuss next steps.
Estimated Effort for Recommendations
Time and complexity estimates for the top recommendations so you can plan implementation realistically.
Typical engagement: $500–2,500
Depends on scope. Simple architecture reviews start at the lower end. Full codebase audits or SaaS planning engagements are quoted based on complexity. Custom proposals for larger audits.
How the Audit Works
Initial Call
We discuss your context, goals, and what's worrying you. I learn what matters before touching any code.
Deep Review
I examine your codebase, architecture, documentation, and infrastructure. Methodical, thorough, no shortcuts.
Written Report
A structured document with findings, risks, prioritized recommendations, and effort estimates.
Follow-Up Call
We walk through the report together. You ask questions. We plan the next practical steps.
Who This Is For
The Founder
Validating a SaaS idea, choosing a tech stack, planning the build. You need someone who understands both the technical and business sides.
The Engineering Lead
Inherited a codebase, unsure about its quality. Needs an architecture review, performance audit, and a second opinion on technical decisions.
The Business Owner
Wants AI and automation for their business but needs a technical feasibility assessment before committing to a build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — I sign NDAs regularly and take confidentiality seriously. Your code, business logic, and trade secrets are yours. I'm happy to sign your NDA or provide my standard mutual NDA before any engagement begins.
Typical turnaround is 1-2 weeks from initial call to delivered report. Simple architecture reviews can be done in under a week. Full codebase audits take closer to 2 weeks. I'll give you a timeline during the initial call based on your specific scope.
Read access to your repository and any relevant documentation (architecture docs, deployment configs, database schemas). For infrastructure reviews, I may need read-only access to your cloud console. I work within your security constraints — no unauthorized changes, no data exports.
Yes, but implementation is a separate engagement. The audit delivers a clear, prioritized plan. If you want me to implement the recommendations, we scope that as a follow-up development project. You're never locked into using me for the implementation — the report is designed to be actionable by any competent developer.
Yes — all consulting work is done remotely. I work with clients across time zones in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. We schedule calls at times that work for you, and everything else is handled asynchronously.
