Hey, I'm Sudhir, I've been telling computers what to do for 20 years, telling teams of people what to do for 10 years, and telling AIs what to do for 2. I don't think I've figured out how to do any of it very well, but I keep learning and I've managed to help companies get a lot done.
I resigned from a Director of Engineering role a year ago, and I now build apps to help local businesses work better - I find that much more satisfying than working with companies, but of course it's hard to make it pay the bills. So I'm happy to consult in the following areas:
* Building AI enabled systems: I'm working on bringing tech usually available only to large orgs to small businesses, and making it accessible by allowing these businesses to just say what they want the systems to do in natural language - which then gets translated to sandboxed code running against hardened interfaces. Can help you with similar projects.
* Coaching teams on how to do agentic coding effectively: I've coached my own teams and held workshops based on the workflows I've developed and what I've learned and experimented with. Happy to do the same for your teams or do individual coaching.
* Cloud cost management: I've taken off hundreds of thousands of dollars off cloud bills, can do the same for you if you're at a large enough scale. Can also setup or review your infrastructure agents to make sure they're using resources efficiently, as well as negotiate with your cloud reps on your behalf.
* Rapid prototyping / MVP deployment: If you've got an idea and funding want to get to market quickly, I can work with you to refine and build out ideas.
I don't have much of a CV online, but https://sudhir.io has my pre-AI era writing, of which multiple articles have landed on the HN front page; github.com/sudhirj has my code; and I used to be in the top 2% on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/users/73831/sudhir-jonathan?tab=topactivity) back when it was cool.
My rate is currently USD 10k per week, plus travel and accommodation if you need me to come to your location. I also offer a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Do contact me on [email protected] for longer term engagements and rate plans.
