How we work

The end goal: your team, better off than before.

Every engagement is different, but most follow this arc.

  1. Assess

    Get to know your system, your team, and your real constraints. Not the ones a textbook assumes.

  2. Architect

    Design the approach and write down the trade-offs. What it costs, what it risks, what it rules out later.

  3. Build

    Build with your engineers, or let us take the whole thing. Either way, it's your codebase and there are no black boxes.

  4. Enable

    Hand over the knowledge through docs, training, and pairing. Your team runs it from here.

On stage

100+ talks. And counting.

Recommendations

Kind words.

Avindra was very helpful to our team of UI developers. He encouraged good habits in coding, testing, design, tooling selection, code reviews, git workflows, and team interactions. He performed well in all that we asked of him and left our team much better equipped to continue our work. I highly recommend finding a way to add Avindra to your project.
Steve DaumDirector of Software Engineering
Trendsetter is the best word I can think of in an attempt to encapsulate Avindra's talents. He tirelessly looks for areas that can be improved, from the tech stack to team dynamics and everything in-between. You can always look to him to set the standard and push everyone around him to continuously improve. He has a true passion for teaching others which shines through in everything that he does. Avindra is an incredible asset to have on your team and I can't recommend him enough!
