My Process

Step 1: Deep Technical Analysis
I start where others fear to tread - in your codebase and your team.
Unlike consultants who interview stakeholders for weeks, I dive directly into your technical reality. Within the first 48 hours, I'm reviewing your architecture, analyzing your deployment pipelines, and identifying the critical bottlenecks that are holding you back.What ihis includes:
Unlike consultants who interview stakeholders for weeks, I dive directly into your technical reality. Within the first 48 hours, I'm reviewing your architecture, analyzing your deployment pipelines, and identifying the critical bottlenecks that are holding you back.What ihis includes:
- Code & Architecture Audit: I personally review your codebase, infrastructure, and system design to identify technical debt, scaling bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities
- Team Assessment: One-on-one sessions with your engineers to understand capabilities, gaps, and morale - your team's potential often surprises founders
- Process Evaluation: From your git workflow to deployment pipelines, I map out where time is wasted and quality is compromised
- Competitive Technical Analysis: Understanding where you stand technically versus your competition and industry standards

Step 2. Strategic Roadmap Design
Strategy without execution is hallucination. Execution without strategy is chaos.
Based on the analysis, I craft a technical strategy that aligns with your business goals, not some theoretical best practices. This isn't about rebuilding everything from scratch - it's about making strategic improvements that deliver maximum business impact. Your custom strategy Includes:
Based on the analysis, I craft a technical strategy that aligns with your business goals, not some theoretical best practices. This isn't about rebuilding everything from scratch - it's about making strategic improvements that deliver maximum business impact. Your custom strategy Includes:
- 90-Day Sprint Plan: Broken into 2-week sprints with clear deliverables, focusing on quick wins first to build momentum
- Scaling Architecture: Design for 10x growth without 10x complexity - systems that grow with your success
- Team Building Blueprint: Exact roles to hire, in what order, with interview processes and compensation benchmarks
- Technology Stack Decisions: Which tools and frameworks will serve you best, based on your team's strengths and market requirements
- Cost Optimization Plan: Usually identifying 30-50% infrastructure savings while improving performance

Step 3: Hands-On Execution (Ongoing)
This is where I differ from every other consultant - I ship code.
I don't hand you a strategy and disappear. I roll up my sleeves and work alongside your team, writing code, reviewing PRs, debugging production issues, and ensuring the strategy becomes reality. Execution in practice:
I don't hand you a strategy and disappear. I roll up my sleeves and work alongside your team, writing code, reviewing PRs, debugging production issues, and ensuring the strategy becomes reality. Execution in practice:
- Weekly Code Contributions: I maintain an active presence in your repository, modeling best practices and unblocking critical features
- Daily Standups (Optional): Join your team's daily sync to provide immediate guidance and remove blockers
- Architect & Build: Lead development of critical components while mentoring your team
- Hire & Onboard: I personally interview senior candidates and design onboarding that gets them productive fast
- Continuous Optimization: Regular reviews and adjustments based on real data, not assumptions
The T1C Difference
Most consultants give you a plan. I give you results. By combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution, we achieve what others only promise:
- 2-3x faster feature delivery within 90 days
- 40-60% reduction in technical costs through optimization
- 10x improvement in system reliability via proper architecture
- World-class team recruited and mentored
