Independent consulting
Developer Experience and Open Source Consulting.
Strategy and senior technical judgment for teams building developer products or navigating open source.
I help companies turn developer platforms and open source investments into products developers can adopt, trust, and build on.
Ways I can help
Three focused areas of work
OSPO-as-a-service
For teams that depend on open source but are not ready to build a full internal Open Source Program Office.
- Strategy, policy, governance, and contribution workflows
- Maintainer relations and upstream contribution plans
- Due diligence for dependencies, vendors, and acquisitions
- Release, licensing, packaging, and sustainability models
Developer product strategy
For companies turning strong technical capabilities into products developers choose to adopt.
- Positioning, developer personas, messaging, and market fit
- Onboarding, samples, documentation, and support paths
- Packaging, pricing, distribution, and launch strategy
- Product direction when the market shape needs to change
Technical advisory
For teams that need senior technical judgment on developer-facing products and platforms.
- Technical strategy, architecture, and build-vs-buy decisions
- API and SDK design, integration, and cross-platform delivery
- Technical debugging, prototyping, and implementation planning
- Practical AI adoption for developer products and workflows
A good fit
Useful when the problem is real, but the path is not obvious.
- Your company depends on open source without a clear ownership model
- You are publishing a developer product and need it to feel credible
- A dependency or open source vendor needs long-term evaluation
- A strong technical project needs sharper positioning and adoption
- You want practical AI adoption without turning it into theater
Engagements

Strategy workshop
A working session built around one concrete decision.

Let’s start with the problem.
A short call is enough to see if I can help and identify the right shape of engagement.
