What you get

  • Reliability and incident work

    Why it failed, the class of problem fixed, and monitoring so you hear first next time.

  • Performance and cost control

    Where the time and money go, measured. Usually a few queries, a retry loop or an uncapped AI call.

  • Review before the expensive decision

    Architecture, security and launch-readiness review, and second opinions on stack choices.

  • Fintech and production AI systems

    Payments, settlement, reconciliation and fraud, plus evaluation and cost control for AI in production.

  • Engineering leadership

    Fractional senior engineering: hiring loops, technical strategy and delivery discipline.

How it starts

  1. 01Send a brief. If something is down, lead with that.
  2. 02Scope it on a call, the same day for an outage where possible.
  3. 03Get a written scope and price within 48 hours. Triage can start first.
First step

Ship Safe

Code/security review, bug rescue, and emergency triage for AI-built apps or broken sites: find launch blockers, fix the stuck workflow, and get a clear go or no-go on shipping.

  • Full read of your AI-built app or repo by a senior engineer
  • Security sanity check: auth, permissions, exposed secrets, API leaks, CORS, and input handling
  • Debug the stuck workflow your AI coding tool cannot get stable
  • Emergency triage for crashed sites, failed deployments, or dead integrations
  • Launch-risk report: blockers to fix now, items to fix before growth, debt to schedule
  • Small critical fixes included; larger rebuilds scoped separately
  • Plain-English handover so you know exactly what changed and what to watch next

Priced after a short call. Hourly from KSh 5,000 ($50). Always On care available once we have shipped together.

Questions

Something is down right now. What should I do?

Say so in your first message. For an outage the call happens the same day where possible, and triage can start before a scope is signed.

Do you work alongside in-house engineers?

Yes. Senior outside help on one specific build, a review before a critical one, or fractional leadership for a team without a head of engineering.

How long is a typical engagement?

Typically 4 to 12 weeks, with an optional monthly retainer once we have shipped together.
