Consulting & mentorship

You don’t have tofigure it out alone.

Get experienced help with technical decisions, engineering leadership, and the way your team works. We advise companies and offer one-to-one mentorship for your own development.

For companies

What’s getting in your way?

  1. 01 Fractional CTO & Technical Leadership

    Your team needs technical direction.

    You may be building your first engineering team, growing an existing one, or facing decisions that need an experienced technical lead. We work with you on architecture, hiring, delivery, and the relationship between engineering and the business.

    What we work on

    • Technical strategy
    • Product priorities
    • Team structure
    • Hiring
    • Engineering practices
  2. 02 Architecture & Code Review

    You need to know what you’re working with.

    Before committing to a rewrite, a migration, or a major release, get a clear view of your system. We examine the code and architecture with your team, identify what needs attention, and help you decide what to change first.

    What you take away

    • Findings
    • Technical tradeoffs
    • A prioritized improvement plan
  3. 03 AI Transformation

    Your tools have changed. Your way of working needs to catch up.

    We help you work out where AI can make a useful difference across analysis, product, engineering, and operations. That can mean changing how a team reviews generated code, giving product teams ways to test ideas as prototypes, or making agent development accessible to more people.

    What we work on

    • Current workflows
    • A focused pilot
    • Practical coaching
    • Measures of quality and delivery
  4. 04 Ongoing Engineering Advisory

    You want someone who knows the context.

    Keep an experienced partner involved as questions come up and priorities change. We work with your existing leaders and engineers, reviewing decisions, helping resolve delivery problems, and supporting the next steps.

    What we work on

    • Regular working sessions
    • Architecture discussions
    • Technical coaching
    • Follow-through on agreed actions

For individuals

Bring the question you’re working through.

You may be choosing your next role, tackling unfamiliar code, starting a company, or learning to lead a team. Mentorship gives you time with an experienced practitioner to work through your own questions.

Topics we can explore together

Code and architecture

Code review, architecture, and technical development.

Career and leadership

Career choices and the move into leadership.

Teams

Team culture, hiring, and management.

Your startup

Product direction and decisions in your startup.

Bring a specific challenge or a longer-term goal. We’ll discuss the expertise you need and a suitable format, with sessions centered on your situation.

How an engagement starts

Start with the problem in front of you.

  1. Understand what’s happening

    We talk to the people involved and, where relevant, review the code, workflows, or delivery data. Together, we define the problem and what a useful result would look like.

  2. Work on a focused first step

    That might be an architecture assessment, a prototype, a workshop, or a pilot in one team. We agree on the scope and outputs before starting.

  3. Build on what works

    Review the result together. If continued support would help, we can stay involved through regular advisory sessions, coaching, or a wider transformation program.

Ongoing collaboration

Keep us in the conversation.

For ongoing engagements, we agree on a working rhythm that fits your team:

Regular sessions
To review progress, decisions, and current problems.
A shared Teams or Slack channel
For questions and working material between sessions.
A shared record
Of decisions, owners, and next steps.
Focused reviews, prototypes, or workshops
When a problem needs closer attention.

We agree on availability and the scope of hands-on work at the start, then revisit them as your needs change.

Measuring progress

Know whether the work is helping.

We choose measures around the problem you want to solve and establish a starting point. Depending on the engagement, we may look at:

Delivery

How long work takes and where it waits.

Quality

How often completed work returns as a bug or needs redoing.

Team capability

Whether more people can review code, develop agents, or make technical decisions.

Operational effort

Time spent on a repeatable task, including checking and correcting its output.

We review these alongside the work itself and feedback from the people doing it. The findings guide what we change next.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. Start with what is happening and what you want to change. We can help identify a useful first step and define the work around it.
