Scale Your Java Team Without the Hiring Headaches
Get a senior Java and Spring Boot engineer embedded in your team within days. I work with mission-driven companies and care about what you're building.
When You Need Java Talent Now
Traditional hiring takes months. Your roadmap can't wait. Staff augmentation gives you immediate access to an experienced Java developer who slots into your team, adopts your processes, and starts shipping from day one.
Bridge Critical Skill Gaps
Need Spring Boot expertise your team doesn't have? Or a Java architect to guide a modernization effort? I bring specialist skills that complement your existing engineers.
How to pick the right partner →Scale Up (or Down) Quickly
Project demands fluctuate. Add a senior engineer for a product launch, then right-size your team afterward. Flexible engagements from 3 months to multi-year.
Why staff augmentation works →Mission Alignment
I care about more than the ticket in front of me. I learn your domain, ask smart questions, and stick around when requirements get complicated.
What makes a good cultural fit →Senior-Level Java Expertise
I've spent years shipping production Java systems. Spring Boot, microservices, cloud-native development. I know what works because I've run it in production.
Spring Boot consulting →Real Team Integration
I join your Slack, follow your Git workflow, and show up to standups. I work your hours, use your tools, and operate like one of your permanent hires.
Knowledge That Stays
When an engagement ends, I make sure your team keeps what was learned. Documentation, code reviews, and pairing sessions make the knowledge transfer stick.
How I Work
Discovery Call
I start by understanding your tech stack, team dynamics, and the specific skills you need. I ask about your mission because it matters. I do better work when I care about what you're building.
Skills and Fit Review
You're not picking from a bench. You work directly with me. I'll walk you through my background, relevant projects, and how I'd approach your codebase so you can judge the fit yourself.
Technical Interview
Interview me using your own process. Technical screens, pairing sessions, whatever you normally run. You decide if I join your team. I'm happy to let the results speak.
Onboarding & Integration
I get up to speed quickly: codebase orientation, tooling setup, and introductions to key stakeholders. My goal is to be making meaningful contributions within the first two weeks.
Ongoing Support
Regular check-ins keep the engagement aligned and catch issues early. If something isn't working, I address it right away, not when it's already a problem.

Is Staff Augmentation Right for You?
Good Fit If You...
- ✓
Have an established team that needs specific skills added
- ✓
Need developers within 2–4 weeks, not 3–6 months
- ✓
Have a clear project roadmap but lack the headcount to execute
- ✓
Want flexibility to scale up for launches and scale back after
- ✓
Use Java/Spring Boot as your primary backend technology
Consider Consulting Instead If...
- →
You need a complete team built from scratch
- →
The scope is fixed and you need a full project delivered
- →
You don't have internal technical leadership to direct the work
- →
You need architecture guidance more than implementation bandwidth
