You get an outside senior architect on your codebase for one focused week. I read what's actually there (not just the README), talk to your engineers, and deliver a written technical roadmap covering: architecture assessment (strengths, weaknesses, hidden risks), tech-debt prioritization, scalability and security posture, and a 90-day improvement plan with concrete next steps.

Best fit: founders, CTOs, or product leads inheriting a codebase or planning a major next phase. Stacks I cover: Python, .NET/C#, Node/TypeScript, PHP, Java/JVM — across Azure, AWS, and on-prem hybrid setups.

Deliverable: a 10–15 page roadmap document plus a 60-minute walkthrough call. Optional follow-up implementation work at day rate.

Background: 6+ years engineering, currently Senior Software Architect, with a security-architecture lens that catches issues most code reviews miss.
