Frequently asked questions

What types of projects do you take on?
Early-stage Web3, AI, and developer-tooling teams. I focus on smart contracts, SDKs, AI agents, and infrastructure — anything where deep technical expertise compounds with product judgment.
How quickly can we get started?
Most engagements kick off within 1–2 weeks. I reply to inbound within two business days and can usually fit a discovery call inside the same week.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Standard mutual NDAs are no problem. I can also work inside your existing legal templates.
What's your typical engagement size?
Anything from a one-hour code review to multi-month retainers. Project-based work is usually scoped between 2 and 12 weeks.
Do you write code, or just advise?
Both. Architecture reviews, design docs, and code audits are common. I also embed as a hands-on engineer for SDKs, smart contracts, and infrastructure when that is the fastest path to shipping.
