Technical Strategy, Architecture & Audits

Lead

A fixed-scope review for teams that need a clear technical picture before they invest: what exists, where the risks are, and what to do first.

The work draws on architecture modernization at ElevateAB (a Shopify A/B-testing SaaS used by 1,200+ brands), the CI/CD rollout at Faculdade Rebouças that cut production defects by 50%, and compliance-aware design at AorForms.

What it includes

Scope

  1. 01

    Discovery sessions with founders, product and engineering.

  2. 02

    Review of the codebase, infrastructure, data model, security and release process.

  3. 03

    Risk analysis covering performance, reliability, cost and compliance.

  4. 04

    A written report with a prioritized plan and effort estimates.

  5. 05

    Optional follow-up to put the plan into practice.
