Work
I take ownership of delivery so you can focus on direction. Engagements range from short diagnostic reviews to ongoing fractional leadership, depending on what the team needs.
Delivery Pressure Review
A 3-5 day diagnostic to identify the constraints keeping shipping unpredictable.
This typically surfaces:
- integration drag and system coupling issues
- process debt and unclear ownership
- seniority gaps or architectural bottlenecks
- assumptions in the codebase that no longer hold
The outcome is a clear picture of trade-offs and options — actionable, not theoretical. Often leads into ongoing engagement.
You get: A delivery constraints map, top interventions ranked by impact/effort, a 30/60/90 day stabilization plan, and a "what to stop doing" list.
Interim Engineering Management
When you need leadership capacity now — not in three months after a hiring process completes.
I step in within 48 hours to:
- stabilize delivery and establish predictable shipping rhythm
- tighten execution loops — less thrash, more shipping
- unblock technical decisions and review architecture
- prepare the environment for your permanent hire
The goal is to keep the team shipping while you find the right long-term fit.
You get: A stabilized release rhythm, clarified ownership map, a short operating cadence doc that survives me, and handover notes for the permanent hire.
Fractional Delivery Leadership
Ongoing embedded work — typically 20 hours per week — for teams that need sustained delivery ownership without a full-time headcount.
This includes:
- architecture reviews and technical direction
- unblocking stuck work and delivery accountability
- process health and standards enforcement
- coordination across teams and stakeholders
I stay until delivery is stable and ownership is transferred — whether that's to a permanent hire or an internal lead who's ready.
You get: A consistent execution system, architecture guardrails, an internal lead enabled to take over, and reduced CTO firefighting load.
What I Bring
The architectural background means I can review code, not just process. I surface structural risks, integration constraints, and decisions that will age poorly — the things that only show up after systems are live.
Platform experience spans Adobe Commerce, Salesforce, Intershop, custom systems, and high-throughput data pipelines. But the stack matters less than the patterns — most delivery problems look similar once you've seen enough of them.
What I own: Delivery cadence, release accountability, architecture governance, process health, technical unblocking.
What stays with you: Product strategy, company direction, career management, HR decisions.
30-day checkpoint on every engagement. If this doesn't create palpable relief, we stop. No long-term lock-in — the goal is working ourselves out of a job.
