The signature on the architecture.
Coding agents will write most of your code from here. What they cannot write is the architecture that keeps six months of agent output from collapsing into itself. I set that foundation, or repair it, then stay close while it scales.
Greenfield
$30,000 to $45,000 • 4 weeks
Starting from scratch. I arrive with a production starter (FastAPI or NestJS, Supabase, Resend already wired). Week one is not setup, week one is your domain model. By week four you have a deployable codebase your team and their agents can operate without drift.
- check_circle Production starter, customized
- check_circle DDD and hexagonal architecture
- check_circle Auth, user management, admin, notifications
- check_circle Supabase and Resend integration
- check_circle Claude config: subagents, skills, commands
- check_circle Linear setup with MCP
- check_circle Deploy pipeline (GCP, AWS, Digital Ocean)
Brownfield
$20,000 to $30,000 • 4 weeks
Your codebase started fast and is now fighting you. Your team is shipping Claude and Cursor code on top of an architecture that cannot absorb it. In four weeks I deliver an audit, one vertical slice refactored as the reference pattern, and a documented plan for the rest of the repo.
- check_circle Week 1: architecture audit
- check_circle What is blocking your agents
- check_circle Weeks 2-3: vertical slice refactored
- check_circle Reference pattern your team can extend
- check_circle Week 4: documented plan for the rest
- check_circle Optional: Claude config, MCP, deploy overhaul
- check_circle 4-week fixed container, flat fee
Fractional Architect
$7,000 to $10,000 / month • 3 month minimum
The natural continuation after Greenfield or Brownfield. Also available standalone when your team needs senior architectural judgment on the clock without a full-time hire. Six to ten hours per week embedded with your team.
- check_circle 6 to 10 hours per week
- check_circle Architecture and AI advisory
- check_circle Code and design review
- check_circle Hiring and tech interview support
- check_circle Async by default, weekly sync
- check_circle Month-to-month after first quarter

Architecture & Technical Decisions
System design and tech choices that age well. DDD, event-driven systems, and the pragmatic version of clean architecture that actually ships.
AI Integration
LLMs, agents, and RAG done with judgment, not hype. I help Series A and B teams pick the integrations that move the business and skip the ones that do not.
"We are starting a new product and do not want the architecture we regret in 12 months."
