What I take on

• Cloud & AI-cost engineering. Cut cloud bills and cap AI / LLM spend without re-architecting the product — gateways, hard spend caps, caching, egress and compute reduction. The productized version lives at smallestbusiness.com.
• Backend & full-stack architecture. Multi-tenant SaaS, API and data-layer design, legacy modernization, containerization — for regulated industries. Node.js, PHP, PostgreSQL / MariaDB, Redis, Docker, AWS / Terraform.
• Data visualization & front-end. Interactive dashboards and maps that make complex data legible — D3.js, Angular, React.
• Private blockchain & tamper-proof infrastructure. Immutable audit trails, wire-fraud prevention, provenance — self-hosted Antelope / BFT. Detailed packages below.

How to hire me

• Short project / contract — a scoped piece of work at a fixed price.
• Ongoing / fractional architect — a recurring engagement (how the 7-year CISOteria work runs).
• Consulting — $500/hour — architecture reviews, a second opinion, a sounding board.

Private blockchain — packages

My deepest specialty, with fixed-scope offerings:

Feasibility Assessment — $997

Not sure if tamper-proof infrastructure fits your situation? This is a 1-week deep dive into your specific needs. You get a written report covering where your current systems are vulnerable, what a tamper-proof architecture would look like, and a clear recommendation on whether it makes sense to move forward.

Deliverables

• Written report with architecture recommendation
• Cost estimate and implementation roadmap
• 30-minute walkthrough call

Private Chain Proof of Concept — $7,500

The fastest way to see if private blockchain fits your use case. In 4 weeks, you get a working system you can demo to stakeholders — not a slide deck.

What You Get

Week 1-2: Discovery calls + architecture document tailored to your specific use case.

Week 3-4: Working proof-of-concept with a 2-node private blockchain, 1 smart contract, basic web UI, and API documentation.

Deliverables

• Source code (MIT licensed — it's yours, no vendor lock-in)
• Docker Compose for one-command deployment
• Architecture document with production scaling notes
• Recorded demo walkthrough
• 30-minute follow-up call after delivery

From PoC to Production

The PoC is the starting point. Here's the typical path:

Additional Services

Consulting — $500/hour

For teams that have blockchain expertise but need a second opinion. Architecture reviews, security assessments, performance optimization, or just a sounding board for technical decisions.

Blockchain Architecture Audit — $15,000

Deep review of an existing blockchain implementation. I examine your smart contracts, node configuration, consensus setup, security model, and disaster recovery. You get a detailed report with prioritized recommendations.

Managed Private Blockchain Infrastructure — $2-5K/month

I run your private blockchain so your team doesn't have to. Includes monitoring, security patches, node management, backup verification, and 24-hour response SLA for critical issues.

Best Fit

My clients are typically:

• Real estate title companies — wire fraud prevention and tamper-proof closing documents
• Legal firms — M&A, IP transactions, and chain-of-custody for sensitive documents
• Healthcare organizations — HIPAA-compliant audit trails that can't be backdated
• Government & municipal IT — transparent public records and accountability systems
• Art & provenance tracking — verifiable ownership and authentication records

If your business handles records where tampering would be costly or dangerous, we should talk.
