Senior Engineering Support for Product Agencies

Overview

I work with product agencies that need experienced technical support for discovery, architecture and delivery.
My background combines software engineering, consulting, client-facing technical leadership and agency management. I understand both sides of agency work: producing reliable software and maintaining clear communication with clients, product teams and delivery stakeholders.

Where my experience is relevant

I can support an agency when it needs to:
  • Add senior engineering capacity to an important engagement
  • Strengthen architecture and technical direction
  • Turn an early product concept into a realistic delivery plan
  • Estimate and de-risk a technically complex project
  • Provide a client-facing technical lead
  • Recover or stabilize a difficult delivery
  • Integrate AI capabilities into a client product
  • Coordinate work across several engineering disciplines or squads

How I contribute

Technical discovery

I help clarify product requirements, constraints, dependencies and technical risks before or during delivery. This includes identifying architectural options, integration requirements and the smallest practical path to implementation.

Solution architecture

I design application, API, data and cloud architectures appropriate to the product’s maturity and constraints. My approach favors clear boundaries and maintainable solutions over unnecessary complexity.

Hands-on delivery

I can remain responsible for implementation after discovery. I work across backend, frontend, databases, integrations and cloud infrastructure, primarily using TypeScript, Node.js, React and Next.js.

Client-facing technical leadership

I am comfortable explaining technical decisions to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders. I have participated in proposals, planning, estimation, product discovery and ongoing client communication.

AI engineering

I can support products that use commercial model APIs or require AI-related engineering infrastructure. My experience includes OpenAI and Anthropic integrations, AI-enabled workflows, reinforcement-learning environment harnesses and model-evaluation systems.
