Give me your broken, expensive, hard-to-change system — I'll diagnose what's wrong, design a practical recovery plan, and stay hands-on until the new pattern is in production.
Direct engagements, long-term advisory, and architecture partnerships across enterprise SaaS, Healthcare, FinTech, ERP, Travel, Retail and AI platforms.
Direct work, association, or solutioning partnership in some capacity.
Each card opens a dedicated playbook with symptoms, root causes, short-term fixes, and the long-term architecture solution.
APIs timing out, DB pegged, can't handle the next 10× of users. Fixed by profiling real usage, right-sizing the system, and only horizontally scaling the 3–5 services that need it.
02VB.NET, Java 6, undocumented business logic, brittle deploys. Fixed by AI-assisted documentation, table-to-table mapping, and module-by-module migration behind feature flags.
03AWS bill growing faster than revenue. Fixed by killing idle services, collapsing over-fragmented microservices, and replacing managed components with in-process equivalents.
Cookie-based auth, missing audit logs, HIPAA/SOC 2 exposure. Fixed with JWT + server-side RBAC, PostgreSQL row-level security, field-level encryption via KMS.
05Partners share user cookies, no clean boundaries, every integration takes a month. Fixed by ROPC for service-to-service, OAuth2/OIDC for human, signed webhooks for outbound.
06Pressure to add AI everywhere; nothing makes it to production. Fixed by picking 1–2 places where AI pays for itself, pairing every LLM with a deterministic rule layer, and human-in-the-loop on high-value actions.
$3.5–5.5K/mo AWS bill cut to $340–545/mo while preserving service boundaries. Team-size to run it dropped from 4–8 engineers to 1–2.
Cookie-bloat fixed (JWT + server-side RBAC), integration auth split (ROPC), AI-assisted .NET 8 migration, single-script WiX installer, DB change tracking.
India-only platform expanded to UK, USA, Singapore, UAE without forking. Country-tenanted data model, payment routing, GeoIP at the CDN edge.
Marketing → lead capture → WhatsApp qualifying → voice callback → counter-offer → payment → logistics → live tracking. Deterministic guardrails wherever margin is at stake.
Async + 2 calls. Written report: findings, prioritised fix plan, cost-ceiling guidance, 30/60/90-day roadmap.
All of the Review, plus an AWS-bill breakdown by service, quick-win script, and a scale roadmap with effort estimates.
Embedded part-time. I refactor or migrate one critical module end-to-end and leave a playbook for the rest.
1–2 days/week. Architecture decisions, reviews, hiring help, direct code on critical pieces.
Practical playbooks. Code, numbers, and trade-offs — no AI hype, no consulting buzzwords.
The seven hidden cost drivers nobody costs out before splitting the monolith — and how to undo them without halting feature work.
Coming soonThe 8 questions I ask every team that's about to "go microservices". The answer is rarely what they expect.
Coming soonThe cookie-bloat failure mode that takes down enterprise apps under the right permission load, and the JWT+RBAC fix.
Tell me about it in two sentences. I'll reply within 24 hours with whether I can help — or who I'd refer you to if I can't.
