Technical advisory
Fractional Technical Leadership
Senior AI and data engineering guidance alongside your team. I help review architecture, resolve technical decisions and shape implementation priorities. We agree a regular review cadence and the decisions or implementation work I will own.

Who it is for. Technology and product leaders who need senior technical direction across an AI or data initiative.
The problem. Important architecture and delivery decisions need an experienced reviewer, while engineers still need practical direction.
The result. Clearer decisions and ownership, with a technical plan your team can act on.
What it covers
Architecture review
Review the current design against the intended use, operating environment and source constraints.
- Document design risks, tradeoffs and recommendations.
Technical decisions and priorities
Help product and engineering owners decide what to build, defer or investigate.
- Maintain decision records and prioritized technical actions.
Work alongside the team
Agree where design review, pairing or direct implementation would help. The cadence and responsibilities are set in the engagement scope.
