The call after the missed release.
We find the real problem. We fix it. Until it ships.
Sprout Social, Genesys, IBM. We’ve been on the other side of that call.

Tired of these challenges?
💸 Rising Support Costs
Every incident is a tax on next quarter’s roadmap. On-call burns the people you can’t afford to lose. The invoice keeps growing.
📉 Velocity that keeps slipping
Sprints miss. Dates drift. Nobody can tell the CEO why the same feature has been “two weeks out” for two months.
🗓️ Roadmap Distrust
You’ve already had the conversation about the missed release. You don’t want to have it again. Friday is coming.
🐌 The team can’t speed up
Build times, test flakes, release friction. Every good engineer has a list. Nobody owns the fix.
How We Help
Blueprint: Set the Stage
You know the outcome but need a senior partner to shape scope, approach, and estimates.
Build: Deliver the Show
Senior hands on keys. Milestone fees, weekly demos, code that ships.
Encore: Keep it Running
Monthly retainer. Prioritized fixes, telemetry checks, senior hands on speed-dial. Same person every month.
Director’s Notes
Leadership Development. Workshops, framework installs, embedded coaching for the leaders shipping your product.
Not sure which one fits?
That’s what the first call is for. Thirty minutes. We name the real problem and point you at the shortest path through it — even if it isn’t us.

Built to Leave
Still in production at Sprout Social, Genesys, and IBM.
Cost Savings
Reduced development costs by $500,000. Same scope, understaffed, delivered on time. Better project management beats more bodies.
Ahead of Schedule
Product redesign delivered four months early. Clear scope. A focused team on the right things at the right time. A different result than the one everyone expected.
Faster Time-to-Market
Standardized one API surface and an entire customer roadmap unlocked behind it. Time-to-market dropped 87%. The standard outlasts the engagement.
Better, Every Incident
No incident closes without a one-percent improvement to the runbook, alert, or release process. Discipline that compounds.
From the leaders
we’ve shipped with
“The team played a key role in the successful completion of our Product Redesign Project. Their project management were a huge part in the project’s success. They led the effort to scope out the work, which helped us identify that there was too much work for the original deadline.”
Varsha Garje
Vice President of Engineering, Sprout Social
“…I was so impressed by John’s collaborative approach. He understood the criticality of time in a competitive market by providing swift feedback regarding candidates and the selection process…When candidates have a chance to speak with him, its clear how passionate he is about his work as a leader and how much he cares about supporting others with their career development. John made it very easy to partner with and I look forward to working on future roles together.”
Jessica Schmieder
Principal Recruiter, Sprout Social
“John is a true craftsman, he has a great grasp on the newest technologies and trends. He is a great teacher and eagerly mentored new employees and other around him. He is a very driven individual, and is able to lead projects to completion successfully. He was one of the key contributors for the PureCloud project.”
