Pricing & Engagement Models
Free: 15-Minute Discovery Session
What it is: A focused intro call to understand your system's bottlenecks.
Outcome: A shared understanding of whether your problem is architectural and how we could address it.
How to book: Schedule a time — no prep required.
Performance Health Check
A fixed-scope, high-leverage deep dive.
I audit your API, data-processing pipeline, or spatial backend to identify architectural risks and performance gaps — no vague slides, just code, queries, and real impact.
Includes:
- Dataflow and query-path inspection
- Tail latency analysis and hot spot tracing
- Read/write contention diagnosis
- Schema, index, and projection strategy review
- Targeted fixes or O(1) design blueprint
Investment: €2,500 – €5,000 flat (depending on scope)
Turnaround: 2–3 days
Ideal for: Engineering leads who suspect something's wrong but can't pinpoint it.
System Evolution Package
You bring the symptoms. I deliver the redesign.
From first diagnosis to system-level refactoring, this engagement focuses on turning unstable, inefficient backends into stable, measurable platforms.
Focus Areas:
- O(1) APIs and projection-based read models
- Efficient data delivery and compressed streaming pipelines
- Simplified ETL and structured dataflows
- Scalable spatial indexing and query design
- Latency stabilization under concurrent loads
Engagement: Project-based. Value-structured. Common range: €6,000–€12,000 depending on goals and integration depth
Emergency Performance Stabilization
When your platform degrades under real traffic, I step in.
I isolate and fix urgent architectural faults that cripple APIs, data pipelines, or backend query systems.
Response time: Immediate priority
Scope: Rapid-fire diagnostics, patch-ready redesigns, or simplified read path extraction
Starting at: €3,000 flat (first 1–2 days)
All prices are net prices.
Results First
No hourly clocks. No vague timesheets. I scope the outcome, deliver what's needed, and let the results speak for themselves.
