Advisory

I provide private advisory and technical due diligence for investors, venture capital firms, and corporate leadership teams.

Deep Technical Insight. Strategic Business Clarity.

I help companies, founders, and investment firms navigate the complex intersection of engineering and economics. Whether you are scaling a platform, auditing a potential acquisition, or trying to optimize your margins, I provide the technical reality behind the business case.

Core Services

1. Unit Economic Modeling & Margin Optimization

Understanding the true cost of your technology is the difference between a scaling success and a cash-flow crisis. I analyze your infrastructure spend (AWS/GCP/Azure) against your user growth to build:

Incremental Cost Models: Exactly what does it cost to serve your next 100,000 users?
Gross Margin Audits: Identifying technical "leaks" where inefficient architecture is eating your profits.
3-Year Scalability Projections: Financial forecasting based on technical roadmap requirements.

2. Technical Due Diligence (M&A and Private Equity)

Don’t acquire technical debt you didn't account for. I provide independent reports for firms looking to acquire or invest in tech companies, focusing on:

Architecture Integrity: Is the system actually built to scale, or is it held together by "duct tape"?
Codebase Health & Debt: An objective audit of technical debt and maintenance requirements.
Infrastructure Liability: Identifying hidden costs in third-party API dependencies or legacy hardware.

3. Strategic "Build vs. Buy" Workshops

Engineering teams often want to build; finance teams often want to buy. I provide a neutral, data-driven framework to help leadership teams decide:

Core vs. Context: Which parts of your stack are your competitive advantage, and which should be outsourced?
Vendor Analysis: Evaluating the long-term economic impact of choosing specific vendors or technical frameworks.

4. Executive Technical Briefings

I translate "Eng-speak" into "Business-speak." I provide custom briefing sessions for Boards of Directors and non-technical Executives on emerging technical shifts:

AI & LLM Orchestration: The real-world costs and risks of integrating generative AI.
Infrastructure Shifts: Understanding how changes in cloud computing or data privacy laws affect your specific business model.

Why Me?

I am a builder first. With a career spent leading engineering teams and developing software, I don't just look at spreadsheets, I understand the code that generates the data. I created Tech Breakdowns because I believe the best business decisions are made when you truly understand the "pipes."
