A technical operator, on retainer.
For industrial and hardware teams. Deep elevator-industry context and modern tooling, delivering answers in days instead of weeks. You get the outcome. I own how it gets made.

What this actually is
Outcomes, not hours.
Built to ship, not deliberate
An operator who delivers outcomes, not a consultant billing time to think. Deep industry context and modern tooling mean your answer shows up in days, not weeks. You pay for the work done, not the hours spent.
No intermediaries
You get Joshua, not an associate or a subcontractor. The person you message and the person delivering the work are the same person, backed by the same tooling every time.
No metered hours
Unlimited async is the point. Retainer pricing means you stop wondering if a question is worth asking, and nobody watches a clock that neither of us wants.
Best fit
- Industrial and hardware teams with a specific technical decision they need to get right the first time.
- Executives who want direct access to a technical operator instead of hiring a full CTO.
- Companies where the software strategy has outgrown the engineer who originally wrote it.
- Leaders who would rather pay for the answer than a thirty-page deck about the answer.
