The Critical 0 to 1 Journey

As a seasoned engineering leader with 15+ years building enterprise-scale systems, I help technology founders navigate the most critical phase of startup development. The journey from concept to product-market fit requires more than just coding—it demands strategic technical leadership, scalable architecture decisions, and startup-focused execution.

Most startups fail not because of bad ideas, but because of poor technical execution and scaling decisions made early. My consulting approach combines deep technical expertise with startup strategy, ensuring your technology foundation supports rapid growth without technical debt that kills momentum.
