What I’m shipping right now
Abundera is a federated platform I built solo — twenty-plus production surfaces under one identity hub. Live: a QR safety family (qr.abundera.ai, check.qr.abundera.ai, pro.qr.abundera.ai), an e-signature ceremony with content-bound integrity (sign.abundera.ai), a financial-advocacy core (abundera.ai), and fourteen vertical advocacy sites. Cloudflare edge, passkey-only, Plaid-connected.
Funded. The raise took weeks because the product was already running.
Forty-five years of pattern recognition is worth what it pays for this week, not in 2005. The stack you’re paying me to assess is one I shipped code on this week.
Reality Check
A 90-minute deep-dive on the decision you’re facing, followed by a written assessment within 48 hours. The entry point for everything else, and often the whole engagement.
What you get
- A 90-minute working call. I read your materials in advance and come ready to push, not be briefed.
- An 8–12 page written assessment covering the decision or risk you’re facing, the questions I’d push you on, a go/no-go with reasoning, and what a follow-on engagement would look like if you proceed.
- The deliverable is yours. Use it however you want, whether or not we work together again.
If after a 15-minute intro I’m the wrong person for your problem, I won’t bill you.
Book a Reality CheckEngagement
Architecture review, voice AI / ASR system review, or a scoped technical rescue. Five to ten business days. Scope and price fixed during the Reality Check.
Best fit
- A production architecture you’re about to commit to, or one you’re drowning in
- A voice product where the demo works and the field deployment doesn’t
- A pre-Series B or pre-acquisition technical readiness pass
What you get
- Code, infrastructure, and team interviews
- Written report with prioritized findings and a remediation plan
- Two-hour live review with your team
- One round of written follow-up Q&A within 30 days of delivery
Typical engagement: $50,000–$150,000 depending on scope. Scoped during the Reality Check.
Start with a Reality CheckTechnical Due Diligence
Pre-acquisition or pre-investment technical review. A defensible written report for your investment committee, board, or LP. For buyers who need more than the vendor’s slide deck.
What you get
- Codebase, infrastructure, security posture, and team review against my 60-question diligence list
- Written report with risk-tiered findings, remediation cost estimates, and a hold/proceed recommendation
- One-hour live debrief with your investment committee or deal team
- Email Q&A through close
Typical engagement: $75,000–$250,000 depending on target size and depth. Scoped during the Reality Check.
Start with a Reality CheckWhat I don’t take
Junior-rate code work. “Digital transformation” engagements that are really change management. Anything where the deliverable is a slide deck and not a working system or a written technical opinion. If you’re looking for any of those, I’m the wrong call and I’ll tell you so without billing.
How this works
Every engagement starts with a Reality Check. If we keep going, we scope the rest from there.
