Consulting: team, process, architecture
I help build an IT team, set up the development process and design a system that will hold the load. I go through what exists and give a plan that can be carried out.
16 years in development. I have built teams from scratch and picked up projects of others midway. What breaks is usually the same: hiring without criteria, releases once a quarter, a database that has hit its limits, and code nobody dares to touch.
I look at the code, the infrastructure and an ordinary day of the team: how tasks are set, how reviews go, how a release is shipped. In one to two weeks you get a written review: what is in the way, what to change first and what it costs. Then there are two options. We implement together — I take part in hiring, set up the process and design the architecture alongside the team. Or the team follows the plan on its own and I join in along the way.
Suits companies with a live product that need a second opinion: the product grows faster than the team, releases have become rare, the load has grown, and it is too early to hire a CTO. If there is no code yet, a prototype is the place to start, not an audit.
- Audit of code, architecture and infrastructure
- Team profile: roles, hiring criteria, interviews together with you
- Process: sprints, code review, CI/CD, releases without night shifts
- Architecture for load: queues, cache, sharding, observability
- A written plan for the quarter and guidance during implementation
Thirty minutes to decide whether we work together
Web apps and services
Dashboards, back offices, SaaS, portals for clients and staff, accounting systems.
Online stores
Catalogue, cart, payments, stock, sync with the accounting system.

Smart device software
Watches, trackers, IoT controllers: apps and firmware.
AI integrations and agents
In-product assistants, answering customer questions, document parsing, knowledge base search.
Prototypes and MVPs
A clickable build in a week. Test the idea before the main budget.
Backend and APIs
I design and build the backend: data model, REST and GraphQL, queues, load, migrations. I also build integrations with payment services, accounting or other external systems.
Support and growth
Monitoring, regular updates and new features, a reply within the business day.
