I work with recently funded teams where engineering leads are overloaded by coordination debt. Instead of adding a full-time manager, I deploy fixed-scope operational sprints that establish task architecture, deployment loops, and handoff-ready runbooks so engineering can keep building.
Problem: Team just raised and engineering is burning cycles on coordination instead of shipping.
Deliverable: Centralized tracking architecture, project charters, and custom operational runbook.
Pricing: $6,500+ fixed rate.
Problem: Software moves fast while hardware timelines and field logistics create hidden delays.
Deliverable: Supply chain tracking architecture and logistical scoping for off-grid and edge-server deployments.
Pricing: Fixed project scope based on complexity.
Problem: Teams miss non-dilutive funding potential due to weak milestone and reporting structure.
Deliverable: Engineering roadmap mapped to DoD, Space Force, and STTR/SBIR reporting requirements.
Pricing: Fixed rate plus optional $3,000+ retainer add-on.
Problem: Operations framework exists, but delivery drifts without high-rigor backlog ownership.
Deliverable: 10 hours/week of scoped backlog grooming, sprint planning, and cross-functional bottleneck management.
Pricing: $3,500 - $5,000 per month.
VITO is my flagship infrastructure platform and the technical foundation behind the consulting sprints on this site. The same architecture patterns are applied in client engagements to reduce operational risk in DDIL deployments.
Context: Product ownership and infrastructure execution in resource-constrained desert environments.
Capability: Align software delivery with physical power, logistics, and deployment realities.
Result: Repeatable operating rhythm in environments where failure is expensive and visible.
Context: Architecture of autonomous off-grid server stack with resilient telemetry and recovery loops.
Capability: Milestone design that supports grant and compliance pathways including Space Force STTR workflows.
Credential: Google Project Management Certificate for Agile and Waterfall baseline rigor.

Currently taking on 1-2 new sprint clients per month. If your team needs immediate operational infrastructure without slowing engineering velocity, we should align scope this week.
