What I do

A small practice, working quietly on serious software.

Vilnius · CET

Engagements

Development Websites, web apps, internal tools, APIs. Hands-on build work — from a focused feature to a full product ship.

Per project

Code audit A full-repo read-through with a written report. Risk, technical debt, and the three things I’d fix first.

1–2 wk

Architecture review Sit with your team, map the system, and pressure-test it against where the product is heading.

2–4 wk

DevOps & platform CI/CD, deploys, observability. I remove the parts you don’t need and harden what’s left.

Ongoing

Fractional staff engineer Embedded one or two days a week. Reviews, mentoring, and the work nobody else gets to.

Retainer

Stack & tooling

TypeScript JavaScript Node React Next.js Python Go Rust Postgres Redis Docker Kubernetes Terraform AWS GCP GitHub Actions GitLab CI Linux AI / LLMs OpenAI Anthropic RAG Vector DBs Observability

Availability

Short email, no form. I reply within a day or two, and I’ll tell you straight if we’re not a fit.

How I work

Written over spoken. Decisions live in docs, not in heads. Every engagement ends with something you can read.
Boring, on purpose. Mature tools, small dependencies, obvious code. The fun is in the product, not the stack.
No lock-in. I leave you with something your team can run, not a contract that needs me in the room.
