Executive-Level Architecture for Transaction-Heavy Platforms
I help fintech and payment-enabled SaaS companies scale reliably, reduce technical risk, and modernize cloud systems—without hiring a full-time VP/CTO.
Led large-scale payment systems, cloud modernization, and globally distributed engineering teams.
How I Can Help
Pick the engagement style that fits your stage. Most clients start with an assessment, then continue with a retainer or implementation sprint.
Platform Readiness Assessment (2 weeks)
A structured review of architecture, scalability, and transaction reliability—ending with a prioritized roadmap your team can execute.
- ✓Architecture & scalability review (services, data, bottlenecks, failure modes)
- ✓Payment / transaction flow analysis (retries, idempotency, timeouts, reconciliation)
- ✓Observability & incident readiness review (monitoring, logging, on-call, runbooks)
- ✓Executive-ready report + 30/60/90-day action plan
Fractional Architecture Lead (Monthly)
Ongoing senior leadership for teams that need strong architecture decisions and reliability discipline—without a full-time executive hire.
- ✓Design reviews & architecture decisions aligned with business priorities
- ✓Reliability and scalability planning (SLOs, resilience patterns, capacity)
- ✓Cloud modernization and cost optimization guidance
- ✓Hiring support and engineering process improvements
Targeted Implementation Sprint
Hands-on execution for the most critical items discovered in the assessment—delivered with senior-level rigor and practical tradeoffs.
- ✓Fix high-impact reliability bottlenecks (timeouts, retries, queueing, hotspots)
- ✓Improve transaction safety (idempotency, reconciliation, auditability)
- ✓Upgrade CI/CD and release safety (rollback, testing strategy, deployment flow)
- ✓Ship a measurable improvement within weeks, not quarters
