Senior technical help, by the hour
You're building fast with AI. I'll tell you what's going to hold up and what's going to break.
AI tools let you ship faster than ever. But they can't tell you whether your authentication is secure, your database will scale, or your architecture will survive your next 1,000 users. That takes someone who's built and broken things at scale.
Sessions from 30 minutes. No retainer. Video call with a written summary of findings afterwards.
Async code review also available at the same rate.
20 hours of technical support to get you launch-ready. Security, architecture, performance, the lot.
That's £125/hr. Save £500 vs. pay-as-you-go.
How it works
Email me
Tell me what you're building and what you need help with. I'll reply within 24 hours with whether I can help and when I'm available.
Share context
Before the session, share a repo link, screenshots, or whatever helps me understand the situation. The more context upfront, the more value in the session.
Live session
We jump on a video call. I review your code, answer your questions, and give you direct, honest technical guidance.
Written summary
After the call, you get a written summary of everything we covered: what's working, what needs to change, and what to prioritise next.
What I can help with
Code review
Security, performance, and architecture review of AI-generated or human-written code. I'll tell you what's solid and what needs work.
Architecture decisions
Database choice, hosting, infrastructure, monolith vs. microservices. Decisions that are expensive to get wrong.
Pre-launch audit
Before you put this in front of users, let's make sure it won't fall over. Security, scalability, and the things AI tools miss.
Investor readiness
Technical due diligence preparation. Know your architecture story before someone asks.
"We brought Alex in to extend our technical leadership as Naitiv scaled. He slotted straight into the team, brought rigour to our architecture and delivery, and freed us up to focus on clients and strategy. If you need senior technical leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire, Alex is your guy."
Andrew Black
CEO, Naitiv
Not for everyone
I don't tell you what you want to hear. If your code is insecure, I'll say so. If your architecture won't scale, you'll know. This works best with founders who want honest answers, not reassurance.
