Work with me
I review Python services in production and train the teams that run them. Two fixed-scope engagements, remote, run in European working hours.
- Memory climbs after every deploy, and a restart is the fix.
- p99 latency creeps up and nobody can say which change did it.
- Incidents get found by customers before dashboards.
- AI-written pull requests merge faster than anyone really reviews them.
- You have telemetry, and still cannot answer "why was it slow at 14:00?"
If two of these sound familiar, there are two ways I can help.
Python Production Review
- The question it answers
- Why do our Python services leak, slow down, or fail, and would we catch it early?
- How it runs
- Remote, over about two weeks. I read your code, dashboards, and incident history, then go deep on one or two services: their instrumentation, and the review, tests, and CI gates around AI-written changes. It ends with a written report and a 90-minute readout.
- You provide
- Read access, and 2 to 3 hours of your engineers' time.
- You get
- Ranked findings and a 30/60/90 day plan your team can act on without me.
Catch It Early training
- Who it is for
- Up to 12 engineers who ship Python services.
- How it runs
- Two remote half-days. Hands-on: instrument a Python service, hunt a planted memory leak and a latency bug, then validate an AI-written change with a review checklist, tests, and traces.
- You get
- The materials and the exercise repo, so the habits outlive the day.
- Works well after
- A Production Review, using what it found.

Start with an email
Write a few lines about your system and what is hurting. I reply within two working days, we set up a 30-minute call, and I quote a fixed price after it.
If a post brought you here, tell me which one. It helps me write the next.
