// SVC-02 · CTO / LEAD
Technical review
for CTOs and tech leads
Bring an architecture, a problem or a system. I'll take it apart: what works, what breaks under load, what to rewrite, what to leave. With a written report at the end.
- 1 session, 1.5–2 hours, video call
- Access to code / diagrams ahead of time
- Written report with recommendations
- Prioritised list: what to do first
- 30-day follow-up on questions
// SVC-03 · STARTUP
Product analysis
for startups and founders
Got an idea or a prototype? I'll help you see what's technically possible, what isn't, how to ship an MVP for sane money and not walk into an architectural dead end.
- 2–3 sessions × 1.5 hours
- Technical evaluation of the idea / prototype
- MVP build roadmap
- Stack recommendations document
- Risk and cost assessment
##who
Concrete situations where I can really help.
// WHO-1
Middle → Senior
Stuck at middle 2+ years, not sure what's blocking your growth. I'll help you see your level from the outside and figure out what to sharpen.
// WHO-2
Senior → Architect
Want to move into architecture but don't know how. I'll help you build the track and highlight where your systems thinking has gaps.
// WHO-3
Tech Lead for the first time
You just became a tech lead and don't know how to grow people or make architectural calls. Sharing what 6 years of leadership taught me.
// WHO-4
Founder without a CTO
Got an idea and a couple of prototypes but need a senior engineer's eye: can it actually be built, what does it cost, what are the risks.
// WHO-5
CTO of a small company
Everything's on you, no one to bounce ideas off. You need a senior+ who'll look at your architecture and tell you what to redo.
// WHO-6
Preparing for a senior+ interview
Going for a big-company senior/architect role. I'll help with prep: architecture questions, system design, working on your weak spots.
##process
Simple process. No surprises.
// 01
Drop me a message on Telegram
Briefly: what the task is, which format you're interested in, a convenient time for a call.
// 02
A free 20-minute call
We meet, we talk it through. If we agree we're not a fit, I'll say so honestly. No pressure.
// 03
Kick-off
Payment, contract (for entities), we agree on the session schedule and the async channel.
// 04
Regular work
Sessions on schedule, async in between. After each session — a short list of action items.
// Not a fit, if you
- Want a "magic pill" without doing work between sessions
- Want me to write the code for you instead of teaching you to think
- Aren't ready to carve out 2–4 hours a week for independent work
- Want a "get into IT in 3 months" course — that's not me
- Aren't ready to hear criticism of your decisions
- Want mentorship on frontend / mobile / design
##faq
Can you really mentor if you're not employed right now?
I've been working as a self-employed senior since 2026. Before that — 8 years in employment, the last 4 as a senior in highload teams (EMPAY, Marfatech, GEGI). Before that — 6 years leading departments and groups of companies. My expertise is not "I read about it yesterday" — it's "I've been doing it for 20 years."
Is mentorship in English possible?
Yes, English C1. Sessions — in Russian or English, whichever you prefer. Async too.
What if I only need a one-off, not an ongoing engagement?
Then the "Technical review" format fits you — 1 session + a written report. Or "Product analysis" if you need help with the MVP / idea.
How does payment work?
For individuals — bank transfer. For entities — contract and invoice. All documents are official.
How many mentees do you take at once?
No more than 5 at a time. Quality over quantity. Currently taking 1–2, slots are open.
What if after the first month I realise it's not a fit?
I refund the unused sessions. Money isn't the point — what matters is that it works.
