1 week
You send me your codebase, current architecture, and 1–3 specific concerns. I send back a written, ADR-style review of your highest-leverage changes.
4 weeks · fixed scope
Fixed scope, fixed price. Typical: add a job queue, replace a fragile cron, migrate providers, ship the missing observability layer.

For startup CTOs and tech leads who want a second pair of senior eyes on architecture decisions without the cost of a full hire.
Problem → decision → outcome. Real systems running in production.
ProblemUniversity needed a self-hosted student platform that wouldn't fall over during enrollment windows.
DecisionGo services + Asynq worker pool + multi-provider email failover across AWS SES, Azure CS, and a Cloudflare Worker relay.
OutcomeAbsorbs registration-window bursts; provider outages stay invisible to students.
ProblemHTML-to-PDF service hung under load. Per-request Chromium spawns were leaking processes.
DecisionOne long-lived Chromium pool, fixed semaphore bound on tabs, soak test gating releases.
OutcomeHangs eliminated; throughput up; ops noise down.
ProblemSelf-hosted Postgres backups across teams were ad-hoc cron jobs and S3 buckets.
DecisionSingle Go binary with per-database storage target assignment (S3, R2, MinIO), Discord notifications, Docker-first.
OutcomeOpen-source, used in production. Backup-target choice is now a config field, not a re-deploy.
