High-End Frontend Consulting
Getting the architecture right so everything else gets easier
I look at how your frontend is actually built, find the stuff that is slowing your team down, and give you a plan to fix it.
The Problem
I feel like most frontend problems don't show up all at once. They just quietly stack up until one day everything takes longer than it should and nobody can point to exactly when it started.
We keep saying this feature will take a week, and then it takes three
There's usually a pile of technical debt underneath, with component boundaries that nobody agreed on and abstractions that are either missing or doing too much
Every new developer we hire takes forever to actually ship something
The conventions live in people's heads, the patterns aren't consistent, and there's nothing written down that a new person can follow on day one
Design keeps handing us things and engineering keeps saying that's not how it works
There's no shared language between the two sides, no design system keeping things in sync, and the handoff process is pretty much just a Figma link in Slack
The app gets a little slower every time we push a release and nobody knows why
There's no performance budget, the bundle keeps growing, and nobody's watching the numbers. It just creeps up quietly until users start complaining
If any of this sounds familiar, the issue is structural. More hours won't fix it. Getting the architecture right will.
What Changes After
- + Your team can actually explain the architecture to a new hire, and the new hire gets it
- + Every component has a clear owner, so nobody's guessing who touches what
- + A design system that either gets built from scratch or, if you already have one, finally has real governance behind it
- + Performance baselines your team can track, so regressions don't just quietly pile up
- + Onboarding docs your new hires will read, because they're short, clear, and written like a human wrote them
What You Get
Actual things I hand over to your team. Nothing vague.
Architecture Audit
I go through your frontend, talk to your team, read the codebase, and map out the full picture. Structure, patterns, dependencies, the stuff that's working and the stuff that's quietly breaking things.
Recommendations Report
A prioritized document: what to fix, what to keep, what to build next, and in what order. Effort estimates included so your team can plan around it.
Implementation Roadmap
Specific next steps, decision points, and milestones your team can follow without me in the room. If a roadmap just sits in a Google Doc, I failed.
Knowledge Transfer
I walk your team through the reasoning behind every recommendation. When the engagement ends, they should be able to carry it forward on their own.
Who This Is For
Good fit
- + Founders who know something's off with the frontend but can't quite put it into words, they just know stuff takes too long
- + CTOs who inherited a codebase they didn't build and need someone to help them figure out what they're actually working with
- + Engineering managers who are about to scale the team and want to make sure the architecture can handle it
- + Teams about to make a big architectural call and want a second opinion before they commit to it
Not the right fit
- - Teams that need someone to jump in and ship features alongside them, that's a different kind of engagement
- - Projects that need a full rebuild from scratch (happy to chat about what that would look like though)
- - Organizations that aren't ready to act on the recommendations. The audit only helps if you follow through
- - Startups still figuring out product-market fit, your priority right now should be learning fast, not perfecting the architecture
Investment
Depends on how big the codebase is, the size of your team, and how deep we need to go
Includes: All deliverables, 2 to 4 weeks of focused work, and follow-up support after we wrap up
I put the numbers here because I'd rather you know upfront than find out after two calls. If the range doesn't work, no hard feelings.
