What to Expect

Best Fit

Likely a good fit if:

✅ Payments, stablecoin infrastructure, fintech, SaaS or developer tooling ✅ You need delivery or architecture owned, not observed ✅ Senior stakeholders who want a straight assessment ✅ Remote-first culture ✅ Complex enough that twenty years of engineering is worth paying for

Probably not a fit if:

❌ Full-time on-site ❌ You want a delivery lead who reports green regardless ❌ Extremely price-sensitive, competing on offshore rates ❌ The decision has already been made and you want it validated

Current Availability

Status: ✅ Available

Capacity:

• Full-time contract: one client
• Part-time: two to three clients
• Permanent: full focus on one company

Timeline: can start within one to two weeks of agreement

What Happens Next

1. I review the fit against capacity and domain
2. I respond honestly. I would rather decline in week one than waste a quarter
3. If it fits, we move quickly to scope and proposal
4. If it does not, I will tell you why, and recommend someone else where I can

Philosophy: transparency and speed. No games, no long sales process.

Before You Ask

"Should I send a detailed brief?" No need. A short email with context is enough, and we can go deeper on a call.

"What if I am not sure what I need?" That is common, and diagnosing it is part of the job. Describe the symptom and I will help define the problem.

"Can you provide references?" Yes, on request. Previous clients and collaborators.

"What is your rate?" From £600 a day for contract work. Let us talk scope first, since that is what actually determines it.
