If you are looking for a paid consultation from exceptional talent and expertise (Cloud, Scaling, Coding, Software Engineering, SRE, hands on fixing impossible problems…), I may help you.

Be detailed in what you need. Thanks.

If nobody else can do it, then you need me. You’ll be surprised that your impossible to solve problems are not challenges, or even difficult for me to fix.

Typical projects/tasks/roles I’m hired in Engineering positions:

• SDM: Software Development Manager lead the Development Team, define best practices, teach them…
• Cloud Architect: Define your Cloud needs and strategy. (my degree is Higher Diploma in Science in Cloud Computing by MTU, Ireland)
• Product owner: to own the project, roadmap, functionalities, technology, accomplish dates. Define the what and how of technical tools
• Tech Lead: Define the technologies, use of AI, guide the Team, teach them.
• Operations: Scaling for a software project a platform that is slow. Ensuring availability and resilience (SRE)

• Software Development: I used to help many companies designing their architecture and creating the crucial parts of their software, programming hands on and with AI.

Some projects are out of dates, with heavy delays, architecture problems that make impossible the launch. I develop fast, hands-on solve where your team got stuck, and with good quality, and I get things done

• Scale out: When a project was working for few concurrent users but it isn’t for thousands or tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands concurrent users, here I go, I fix the architecture and introduce powerful tools like MySQLProxyCache, Cassandra NoSql, Sharding, Memory caches like Memcached, redis, build a load balanced architecture, CDN’s, Varnish… and the project is able to withstand the needs.

• Fix and improve performance: I fix projects with heavy security or performance in the code problems, bottlenecks, or where the Team is stuck with problems they can’t solve. I scale out projects with heavy growth

• DevOps: When no one knows what’s happening. Developers think that the problems are in the platforms/systems and SysAdmins believe the problems are in the code, I’m called, and I investigate everything reviewing all the angles, and find where the problems are, and I solve them all.

• Take Control as CTO: I take control of Start ups with a messy platform / code, and of the Team and the Department.

I make sure everything is under control, that the company property and data is safe, stabilise everything and release the new versions on date.

• Strategy: When there is a good idea, I enrich it with my own ideas and my vision of Internet, and suggest new winner features.

I also add some technical magic if needed.

Usually companies go from a position of resisting among the competitors to a position where they can be leaders and competing for the top position with the big ones.

• Quality and Reliability: When a company needs someone to check the quality of their product, and find security flaws, issues, to check if the API works as expected or it has problems under certain circumstances, if interoperability is good…

• Usability, needs and easy of use: In the case of companies building products used by Start ups and Developers, I remark the flaws, the needs, new features required, the necessary easy of use, etc…

• Lead and Engineering Department: Well, I’ve collaborated with some very big companies.

• Lead a Service or Product

Often I was hired to face difficult Teams, underperformers, liars, people stealing or cheating to the company that are causing heavy losses to the company or putting its existence at risk.

I’ve worked with problematic Teams distributed over the world, outsourced to India, Belarus, Pakistan, Latam, China… and locals. Mixed permanent and outsourced.

In some cases I come with a Team of super-Seniors, like an small army of super-Engineers, and IA tools and I fix/complete everything very fast.
