Advisor / Consultant

Sometimes you don’t need a whole project — you need one conversation with someone who sees the full picture. A CTO choosing between three technology stacks and can’t decide. A director suspects the contractor is dragging out the project but can’t pinpoint where exactly the problem is. A company preparing a tender spec and wants to make sure they’re not missing anything critical.

A typical scenario: an executive calls with a specific question — say, “we’re being offered to replace the core system for $2M, is it worth it?” Over 2–3 hours of conversation it turns out that 80% of the needs can be addressed with an integration layer and a couple of modules on top of the existing system — for $200K and 3 months instead of 2 years. One consultation saved the company $1.8M and two years of risk.

I work as an independent expert — I don’t sell licenses, don’t represent vendors, don’t lock anyone into a platform. I recommend what solves the problem, not what I earn a commission on. This allows giving an honest assessment: sometimes the best advice is to do nothing, wait, or solve the problem organizationally rather than technically.

The format is flexible: a one-off session, a 1–2 week assessment, or a retainer — when you need regular expert support for decision-making. Every consultation ends with a written document: what was discussed, what decisions were made, what to do next. Not verbal promises — a concrete artifact you can work with.
