METHODOLOGY

How I Work

Plan

Architecture reviews, capacity planning, and roadmap alignment. No surprises.

Build

Clean, tested, documented code. PRs that don't need a decoder ring.

Ship

CI/CD that works. Deploys that don't wake you up at 3am.

Monitor

Observability that tells you what's wrong, not just that something is.

THE SENIOR DIFFERENCE

Why Hire a Senior?

You don't need another junior who needs mentoring. You need a solver who's seen these problems before.

Autonomy

Point me at the problem. I'll figure out the rest. No hand-holding required.

Business-First

I speak engineer, but I think in outcomes. Tech debt is a business decision.

Timezone Aligned

Real-time collaboration during your working hours. No 12-hour feedback loops.

Fractional Tech Lead

Embedded leadership for your engineering team. I'll run sprints, unblock your devs, and ship features—without the full-time overhead.

Infrastructure Stabilization

Your prod is on fire. Alerts are noise. Deploys are prayers. I'll fix your observability, harden your pipelines, and let you sleep again.

MVP to 1.0

Your prototype works. Now it needs to scale. I'll refactor the duct tape, add the guardrails, and get you production-ready.

ABOUT

I Build Systems That Last.

I'm a Senior Staff Engineer with 15+ years in the trenches. I've scaled startups from zero to millions of users, rescued legacy systems from their own complexity, and built infrastructure that runs without drama.

My background is backend and infrastructure—Go, Python, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and the glue that holds them together. I'm a NixOS advocate because I believe in reproducibility. I write tests because I believe in sleeping at night.

I run Flatmap Tech because I'd rather solve hard problems than attend meetings about solving hard problems.
