what I do
Consulting
We work together to figure out what you actually need - and what you don't. I ask the questions that surface hidden assumptions and clarify scope and trade-offs, so you can make informed decisions before they become expensive to change.
optimization
Not every problem needs a big solution. I pragmatically focus on what brings the most value - identifying the real bottleneck and fixing that first, rather than rebuilding everything at once. You get meaningful speed-ups without unnecessary disruption.
Development
When hands-on development is needed, I stay involved from early conversations through delivery. I build software that's meant to last - testable, maintainable, and designed for the people who'll work with it after me.
Methodology
Communication
I translate both ways: your business goals into clear engineering requirements, and technical realities into decisions you can make. No jargon walls, no "trust me" black boxes. You'll always know where things stand - including when something isn't working.
Pragmatism
25 years of projects teaches you where things break. I help you find the right level of complexity - sophisticated enough to work reliably, simple enough to maintain and extend. No needless complexity, no simplistic shortcuts.
