Technical Consultations
For founders and developers facing a technical decision: choosing architecture and a stack, integrating payments, finding a bottleneck or reviewing a launch plan. We work through your project and define the next steps.
- Site and dashboard
- API
- Payments
Database
Webhooks via a queue
What people bring to a consultation
We go deep on one question or review the whole plan, before a mistake becomes expensive.
Architecture and tech stack
I help you choose technologies for your budget and goals and design how the service will work: language and framework, databases, queues and hosting.
Payment gateways and billing
Connecting Stripe and other payment systems, subscriptions, webhooks and payment reconciliation.
Automation and integrations
I connect CRMs, email tools, bots, spreadsheets and analytics through APIs and webhooks so nobody copies data by hand.
Before & After Consultation
Changes in project metrics after technical improvements, as reported by clients.
SaaS Startup (EdTech)
−96% API response time
Before: Monolith on PHP 5.6, one deploy per week, 12-second API response time. Developers were afraid to touch the code.
After: Modular architecture on Laravel + Vue 3, CI/CD, API response time — 400ms. 5 deploys per day without fear.
Service Marketplace
0 lost transactions
Before: Payments through 3 different gateways with manual reconciliation. 15% of transactions were lost, refunds processed manually.
After: Unified billing service on Stripe with automatic reconciliation, webhooks, and support dashboard.
B2B Platform
−75% development time
Before: Team of 4 developers spent 3 months building a CRM. Endless revisions, data duplication, no reports.
After: Architecture audit in 1 session. Rebuilt data model, implemented roles and permissions. CRM launched in 6 weeks.
Clinic Telegram Bot
34% booking conversion
Before: Bot on a no-code builder, 200 messages/day. Clients complained about slow responses and inability to book.
After: Custom bot integrated with clinic CRM, booking in 3 clicks, auto-reminders. Booking conversion — 34%.
Online School
100% automated
Before: Courses on Tilda, no automation. Teacher manually grants access and checks homework.
After: Platform on Nuxt + Laravel: automatic access granting, test checking, progress gamification.
Fintech Startup
8 weeks to MVP
Before: Choosing between 5 technologies for MVP. Risk of spending 6 months in the wrong direction.
After: In 1 consultation determined the stack (Node.js + PostgreSQL), designed architecture. MVP in 8 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of the consultation?
The consultation takes place online via Zoom, Google Meet, or Telegram, using voice or video.
When needed, we use screen sharing to review code, databases, or system architecture together.
Will a recording of the call be provided?
Yes. After the call, I send you:
- A video recording of the session.
- A written summary.
- Links to useful resources.
- A step-by-step action plan.
Do you sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)?
Yes. If the consultation requires access to confidential business data, codebases, or architecture details, we can sign an NDA before the call.
What if the consultation takes longer than an hour?
A standard session lasts 60 minutes. This is usually enough to address specific questions.
For a larger project, we can schedule a series of calls or arrange ongoing technical consulting.
How should I prepare for the call?
Before the call, prepare:
- A list of questions you want to discuss.
- A short description of your business logic and goals.
- Access to code repositories or diagrams, if available and needed for the review.
This helps us spend the session working on your specific problem.

Technical Guidance
Launching a new web project or scaling an existing business often runs into complex technical bottlenecks. Choosing the right architecture, designing efficient databases, and integrating third-party APIs require a deep understanding of modern software engineering principles. Missteps at this stage can lead to months of refactoring and significant financial waste.
During our sessions, we focus on your specific technical tasks: from choosing the right tech stack (Laravel, Node.js, Python, Vue/Nuxt) to configuring Stripe, integrating payment gateways, or connecting third-party services and APIs. You will get a project audit, architectural guidelines, and a clear implementation roadmap ready for your developers.
