Let's talk

Let's talk.

About a project, a contract, a hard technical problem, something you're building, or a post you read here. You don't need a polished brief. A few sentences is enough, and I'll reply honestly.

I read and reply to every message myself.

What to send

A few sentences is plenty

It doesn't need to be technical, and it doesn't need to be tidy. If it helps, copy this and fill in the brackets.

Hi Dino,

We're [company / team], and we're trying to [what you want to do].

What's making it difficult: [the hard part].

Where we're stuck: [what's blocking a decision or progress].

Timing: [when you'd like to start, or any deadline].

If it's a project

Usually it looks like one of these

  • About to build something important and unsure how it should work.
  • Dealing with a system that has become more complicated than expected.
  • Replacing a third-party platform with something you own.
  • Connecting several systems that don't fit together cleanly.
  • Facing a technical decision with several plausible options.
  • Trying to understand why a project has stalled.
  • Looking for an independent technical second opinion.
  • Missing a senior engineer or architect, and not ready to hire one full-time.

What happens next

What happens after you send it

If I'm not the right person for the problem, I'll say so, and point you somewhere better if I can.

  1. 01

    Start a conversation

    A few sentences on LinkedIn or X is enough. No brief, no forms.

  2. 02

    We talk it through

    A short call to understand what is going on and whether I am the right person. It is not a sales pitch.

  3. 03

    You get a written proposal

    Scope, deliverables, timeline and price, so you know exactly what you are buying before anything starts.

  4. 04

    We get to work

    Regular check-ins while the work runs. Everything produced is yours to keep and share with your team.
