Consulting

Senior hands-on ownership for the work that can’t fail.

I work with founders, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and product leaders at SaaS and technology companies — on AI product delivery, frontend platforms, and critical initiatives that need to move from ambiguity to a reliable production outcome.

Who I help

B2B SaaS and technology teams with an existing product and engineering organization that need senior technical ownership for a high-risk initiative: an AI feature that must become real, a platform that has become slow to change, an initiative nobody fully owns.

I’ve shipped in production at Writer, LottieFiles, Zenseact · Volvo Cars, Cato Networks, MEGOGO — across enterprise AI, autonomous driving, network security, motion design, and national-scale streaming.

Remote consulting for US and international teams, with practical overlap for US working hours.

The problems I take on

  • AI features stuck between prototype and production
  • React/TypeScript platforms that fight every change
  • Stalled migrations, integrations, and cross-team initiatives
  • Plugins and extensions that must survive host-platform constraints
  • Teams missing Staff-level judgment at a decisive moment

Services

What you can engage me for.

AI Product Delivery

For teams whose AI feature is stuck between demo and production. I build the workflow layer — grounding, permissions, fallbacks, human approval — that makes AI reliable enough to ship to real customers.

Frontend Modernization & Performance

For teams whose React/TypeScript platform has become slow, fragile, or expensive to change. Profiling-driven diagnosis and incremental fixes — measured, and without stopping feature delivery.

Fractional Staff Engineer

For teams that need Staff-level ownership of a stalled or high-risk initiative without a full-time hire. Clear direction, stakeholder alignment, and hands-on delivery of the most critical parts.

Specialist capability

Plugins, Extensions & Platform Integrations

A specialist capability that cuts across every service: I’ve shipped production plugins and extensions across Chrome, Figma, Adobe, Canva, VS Code, WordPress, and ChatGPT ecosystems, plus OAuth-based integrations with platforms like Slack, Jira, and GitHub. If your product has to live inside someone else’s platform — with their sandbox rules, their review process, and their breaking changes — I’ve probably fought that fight before.

All services, including Web3, extensions, and integrations →

  • Browser extensions (Chrome/MV3) for product and enterprise workflows
  • Design-tool plugins: Figma, Adobe After Effects and Animate, Canva
  • Editor and CMS plugins: VS Code, WordPress
  • OAuth flows, secure token handling, permission scopes
  • Webhooks, event-driven sync, rate-limit and retry strategy
  • File conversion pipelines and host-specific performance constraints
  • Web3 surfaces: multichain wallet extensions, DEX/swap UX, subgraph data

Engagement ladder

Start with the smallest useful engagement.

Every engagement is designed so you can evaluate the work before committing to more of it.

Step 1

60–90 minutes

Technical Strategy Session

Teams facing a specific product or engineering decision they want a senior outside perspective on.

A paid working session on one defined problem: an architecture choice, an AI feature plan, a performance question, a build-vs-buy call. You bring the context; I bring pattern recognition from 13+ years of shipping in situations like yours.

You get

  • A written decision summary within 48 hours of the call
  • Recommended next steps with the trade-offs stated explicitly
  • A clear answer on whether further engagement would help — including when it wouldn’t

Step 2

3–5 days

Product & Architecture Diagnostic

Teams with a costly, recurring problem — slow delivery, an unreliable feature, an AI initiative that isn’t converging — who need root causes, not another opinion.

A focused investigation of one high-impact problem. I read the code, profile the system, interview the people closest to the pain, and separate symptoms from causes.

You get

  • A written diagnostic: root causes, ranked by impact and effort to fix
  • A prioritized, realistic remediation plan your team can execute
  • A working session to walk the team through the findings

Step 3

2–4 weeks, fixed scope

Implementation or Rescue Sprint

Teams with a critical initiative that is stalled, at risk, or beyond current capacity: an AI feature, a performance crisis, a migration, an integration.

I take hands-on ownership of the most critical part of the work — writing production code, making the blocking decisions, and coordinating with your product, design, and backend people until it ships.

You get

  • Production code, shipped and tested, for the agreed scope
  • Documented architecture decisions your team can maintain without me
  • A handover session and a follow-up checkpoint

Step 4

Monthly engagement

Fractional Staff Engineer / Technical Advisor

Teams that need Staff-level technical direction — architecture reviews, delivery risk reduction, mentoring — without adding a full-time hire yet.

Ongoing senior ownership at a defined weekly cadence: architecture reviews, product-engineering alignment, technical mentoring, and selective hands-on delivery where it moves the needle most.

You get

  • A recurring cadence of architecture and delivery reviews
  • Written technical direction on the decisions that matter
  • Hands-on contributions to the highest-risk parts of the roadmap

Two ways to begin.

A free fit call to check we should work together, or a paid working session when you already have a defined decision on the table.

20-minute fit call

Free · For evaluating a potential engagement

A short conversation to understand the problem, confirm whether I am the right person to help, and decide on the most useful next step. This is not a technical consulting session and includes no written deliverable.

Paid working session

Technical Strategy Session

$500 · 90-minute session · Written decision summary

A focused working session for a defined AI product, frontend architecture, performance, or delivery decision. Includes preparation, the live session, and a concise written recommendation.

Process

How an engagement runs.

  1. Step 1

    Strategy session

    One focused call on your problem. Smallest useful commitment for both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Diagnostic

    A few days inside the real system. Root causes and a plan, not opinions.

  3. Step 3

    Delivery sprint

    Fixed-scope, hands-on ownership of the critical work until it ships.

  4. Step 4

    Ongoing advisory

    Fractional Staff-level direction once trust is established.

This is not a fit for:

  • Generic low-cost staff augmentation
  • An entirely outsourced product team
  • Open-ended implementation with no accountable outcome
  • Model training or AI research
  • Work that requires overstating evidence, security, or compliance

I’m the right choice when the problem is ambiguous, the stakes are high, and you want senior judgment attached to hands-on execution.

FAQ

Practical questions, answered.

Do you work remotely?

Yes — I work remotely with teams worldwide and have done so for years, including across US and European time zones. I’m based in Kyiv (EET) and overlap comfortably with European hours and US mornings.

Are you available right now?

I take a small number of consulting engagements alongside my current product work. The honest answer depends on scope — tell me what you’re dealing with and I’ll tell you quickly whether and when I can help.

How do contracts and invoicing work?

I contract as an independent engineer with a standard consulting agreement, or through your preferred contractor platform. Scope, deliverables, and payment terms are agreed in writing before work starts.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. Confidentiality is the default for everything I see in your codebase and business regardless of paperwork, and I’m happy to formalize it.

Do you work with our existing team or replace it?

With it, always. The goal of every engagement is that your team is stronger and more autonomous when I leave — decisions documented, knowledge transferred, no dependency on me.

Do you actually write code, or just advise?

I write production code in most engagements. Strategy sessions and diagnostics are advisory by design; sprints and fractional work are hands-on by default.

What kinds of projects are not a fit?

Full project outsourcing with no internal team, staff-augmentation body leasing, and anything where I’d be a generic pair of hands. I add the most value on ambiguous, high-stakes problems that need senior judgment plus execution.

Tell me what is blocked, underperforming, or difficult to ship.

I will tell you whether I can help — and what the smallest useful next step would be. If I’m not the right person, I’ll say so.
