Advisory
Senior advisory for in-house teams.
Your team keeps implementation ownership. I provide architecture direction, risk control, and faster decisions — so you ship with confidence instead of guessing.
When advisory is the right move
- Your team is new to Next.js or Payload CMS and needs architecture confidence.
- Architecture decisions are slowing down delivery.
- You’re uncertain about data modeling, content structure, or integration patterns.
- You want a senior brain on high-risk calls — without outsourcing execution.
- You want to keep delivery in-house.
What I help with
Architecture and system design reviews
Payload CMS content modeling
Next.js app structure and routing
Integration patterns and data flow
Code and PR review on critical paths
Migration risk planning
Build sequencing decisions
What this is not
- Staff augmentation — I don’t write tickets or fill a seat.
- Ticket-by-ticket implementation — your team executes.
- Engineering management — I don’t manage people or standups.
- Ad-hoc support — this is structured, cadence-based work.
How it works
01
Kickoff
Deep-dive into your stack, architecture, team structure, and current blockers.
02
Weekly sessions
Structured decision sessions focused on architecture, risk, and sequencing.
03
Async review
PR reviews, architecture questions, and critical-path feedback between sessions.
04
Risk log
Ongoing documentation of decisions, trade-offs, red flags, and go/no-go gates.
Expected outcomes
- Clearer architecture decisions — fewer detours
- Higher-confidence plans on data modeling and structure
- Faster blocker resolution on integration and migration
- Better quality on high-impact technical choices
- Team ships faster with less rework
Scope
This is for you if
- Your team is actively building with Next.js and Payload CMS.
- You want strategic architecture guidance without outsourcing execution.
- Correctness on high-impact technical choices matters to you.
- You value structured decision-making over ad-hoc questions.
Not a fit if
- You need extra developers or staff augmentation.
- You want someone to manage day-to-day engineering.
- You’re looking for quick opinions without context.
- Your team isn’t willing to implement the agreed direction.
