High-stakes systems.
Consults on the problems those teams usually punt.
The advantage of no handoffs.
Most consultancies are built on leverage: a senior partner sells the work, a middle layer scopes it, and a pool of juniors writes the code. That model pays for an office. It doesn't pay for your system running cleanly at 3 a.m.
typeofmd is built the opposite way. There is no junior pool, no pre-sales translator, and no onboarding cliff at handover. The person writing the proposal is the person writing the code, and the person answering your Slack at 11 p.m. is the same person you hired in the first place. Fewer people, fewer meetings, a shorter distance from "problem" to "production."
How engagements fit.
Three shapes, covering everything from a standing advisory seat to a full delivery sprint. The audit comes first — we pick the shape together.
Fractional CTO
Embedded technical leadership for teams between their first engineer and their first VP of Engineering. Architecture decisions, hiring calibration, incident response — with skin in the game.
Delivery engagement
A scoped piece of work owned end-to-end. Payments rails, data migrations, platform rewrites, performance rescues. Fixed price, outcome-gated, code your team inherits cleanly.
Advisory retainer
A standing line for architecture reviews, hiring loops, vendor evaluations, and the hard calls. For founders and technical leaders who want a senior second opinion on speed-dial.
Three rules the practice runs on.
The full version lives on the Methodology page. The short version is this.
- 01Intelligence
Senior-only hands. No juniors staffed against a roadmap — ever.
- 02Integrity
Truth before quote. A free audit, and a referral when I'm not the right fit.
- 03Impact
Outcome-scoped contracts tied to a business metric — not story points.
