An outside read on whether the design will hold up.
Independent assessment of a system's design: service boundaries, data flow, failure modes, and scale ceilings. Written report with concrete findings and prioritized recommendations. Typically a 2–4 week engagement.
A risk-focused review, not a checklist.
Application-level security review: authentication, authorization, input handling, secret management, dependency posture, and logging. Focused on real risk, not checklist theater. Deliverable is a written report with reproductions and remediation guidance.
Deployment, observability, and Splunk depth in particular.
Cloud and on-prem infrastructure design: deployment topology, networking, observability, CI/CD, and cost structure. Deep Splunk platform expertise — design, automation, and tuning — is a frequent specialty. Suited to teams standing up a new platform or consolidating a sprawling one.
Recurring 1:1 work with engineers and leads.
Ongoing mentorship for individual engineers and engineering leads — technical decisions, career arc, leadership mechanics. Usually a recurring monthly engagement.
