Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a technical due diligence engagement?

An independent audit for investors, VC groups, or founders that verifies codebase quality, IP legitimacy, server configurations, and security health before a deal closes.

How do you review cloud infrastructure costs?

I review cloud bills across AWS, GCP, and Azure, identify resource waste, challenge oversized server allocations, and plan migrations to managed, cost-efficient environments.

Do you help with AI strategy, not just AI-assisted coding?

Yes. AI strategy consulting covers identifying how LLMs and secure AI tools can improve team velocity, customer support, or product value without compromising data privacy — separate from the AI-assisted developer workflow work covered under Engineering Leadership.

How does vendor selection and auditing work?

I independently vet external development bids: auditing candidate agencies' capabilities, checking reference repositories, and aligning contract agreements before you sign.
