ENGAGEMENT MODELS

How this works.

Four ways to work with me. Most projects start with a conversation, not a form.

01

Project

Fixed-scope, fixed-ish budget, a defined deliverable. Build a specific integration, ship a RAG system, modernize a reporting pipeline.

Typical duration 4–12 weeks.

02

Retainer

Ongoing monthly engagement; a set number of hours or a defined surface area. "You own our integration layer." "You're our AI consultant."

Best for teams that want a senior person they don't have to re-onboard.

03

Advisory

A few hours a month. Strategic input, architecture review, sanity-checking decisions.

Best for founders and CTOs who want a second brain in the room.

04

Fractional

Embedded, part-time. Architect, tech lead, or senior engineer capacity without the hire.

Best for mid-stage companies not ready for a full-time senior hire.

ON PRICE

I'm not the cheap option. I'm the one who finishes the job, understands the business side, and doesn't create three more problems on the way. If that's valuable, let's talk.

WHAT I DON'T DO
Staff augmentation through an agency model
Pure design work — I design, but I don't lead design projects
Generic AI strategy decks without an implementation path
THE ELEVEN LINES OF WORK

start with a conversation — one email starts it
