Problem Solver

If adding another engineer would solve things, you'd have done it!

I'll cost you a similar amount, help you get the job done, and quietly walk away once you no longer need me.I'll work with you 1-on-1 to figure out together what is really holding your company back, and build a workable plan that will solve it.This could involve scaling your management and organisational structure, culture and operating procedures.Or, we could decide to troubleshoot technical scaling issues first.
