Technology Exploration
Your embedded R&D engineer, on demand — evaluate, prototype, and get a clear recommendation without derailing the roadmap.
Every engineering organisation reaches a point where someone needs to actually try the new thing before the team commits to it. That evaluation takes time and focus your team doesn’t have.
I embed with your team as a technical researcher: I evaluate candidate technologies, build proof-of-concepts, stress-test architectural directions, and produce a clear recommendation backed by real evidence — not vendor slides. The engagement ends with a decision, not a shrug.
Past explorations have covered Kubernetes distributions, CI/CD platform migrations, local LLM inference, messaging systems, and cloud-native security tooling. If the question is “should we use this?”, I’ll find out.
