A reliable technical owner for your platform.

If you’ve inherited a system, lost the original developers, or your team is overloaded—retainer-style ownership keeps delivery moving and production stable.

What maintenance really means

Maintenance isn’t just bug fixes. It’s keeping systems safe to change: upgrades, refactors, performance, observability, and operational hygiene. Done well, it reduces incidents and makes new features cheaper to ship.

Common retainer outcomes

Fewer incidents

Better alerting, safer deploys, clearer error handling, and predictable recovery paths.

Faster delivery

Pay down the technical debt that blocks progress, without rewriting everything.

Upgrades without fear

Framework and dependency upgrades, security patches, and migrations handled deliberately.

Visible progress

A clear backlog, priorities, and weekly/monthly checkpoints so stakeholders stay aligned.

What I do first

  • Map risk: uptime, data integrity, security, and deploy process
  • Add observability: logs/metrics/alerts that point to root causes
  • Stabilize delivery: safe releases, rollbacks, and environments
  • Create a prioritized improvement plan with quick wins

FAQ

Can you work alongside our existing dev team?

Yes. I can take on ownership areas (infra, integrations, specific subsystems) or act as a technical lead for reliability and architecture.

Is retainer only for big companies?

No. Retainer works well for any business where the platform is business-critical and needs consistent attention.

Do you also build new features?

Absolutely—maintenance and feature delivery should move together. The key is balancing speed with operational safety.
