Availability and scope

I currently hold a full-time Senior Software Engineer position, so availability is limited and scheduled outside my primary working hours.

This engagement is strictly for technical advisory. I do not currently offer:

• hands-on implementation or development;

• project or engineering-team management;

• production support or on-call availability;

• unlimited asynchronous consultation.

Meeting schedules and any optional offline deliverables will be agreed upon in advance.
