One senior engineer, not a consulting pyramid
Applications Pro at $4,500 a month. One senior engineer, US LLC, NDA standard, IRS/IR35-safe. Work Made for Hire. Monthly, cancel anytime.
Who this is for
Enterprise IT director or engineering VP scoping a focused custom build outside the core roadmap.
The pain today
- Internal teams are stretched thin on product roadmap work.
- Big consultancies overstaff every project and overbill.
- Procurement wants a vendor with clean IP terms and US LLC posture.
- The project needs to integrate with existing systems without breaking them.
The outcome you get
- One senior engineer owning the scope end to end.
- Integration with existing systems respecting existing access controls.
- Clean IP terms under Work Made for Hire.
- Monthly retainer, cancel when the internal team absorbs the work.
Vendor due diligence
Enterprise IT directors running vendor diligence want answers to a tight set of questions: who is the legal entity, what is the security posture, who owns the IP, what happens when you go on vacation. I run as a US LLC, carry standard contractor insurance, sign NDAs, use Work Made for Hire (no IP retention), and plan coverage for any planned absence (3+ weeks notice, documented handoff if needed). The diligence clears in 1-2 weeks. Turnaround from first call to signed SOW is typically 3-4 weeks.
Security posture (US LLC plus NDA)
US LLC entity, IRS-safe invoicing, IR35-safe for UK clients. NDA standard. DPA on request. I work under your SSO and RBAC, use issued hardware or VDI if required, and respect data classification boundaries. No shadow data flows. No personal accounts on your data. The security posture is the reason enterprise clients can take on a single contractor without it being a procurement headache. It took me years to build this posture, and it pays back on every enterprise engagement.
Scope discipline with enterprise stakeholders
Enterprise projects creep. A scope that started at 'one internal tool' grows into 'an integrated workflow platform' across three quarters and triples in cost. I hold scope tight with a written SOW, a weekly decision log, and a monthly check-in where scope changes are explicit and costed. The stakeholders get the transparency they need without the creep. Most enterprise engagements ship the original scope on the original timeline. bolttech shipped 40+ payment providers with 0 post-launch critical bugs. Scope discipline made it possible.
Governance and reporting
I write a monthly engagement report for the executive sponsor: what shipped, what is in progress, what risks are open, what the next month looks like. The report lives in SharePoint or Google Drive on your side. Weekly async updates go to the working group via Slack or Teams. Governance is built for enterprise audit, not because it is busywork. When the engagement ends, the written trail is complete.
Recent proof
A comparable engagement, delivered and documented.
Unified payment orchestration across Asia and Europe
Delivered the payment orchestration platform at bolttech, a $1B+ unicorn, with 40+ integrations across multiple regions.
Frequently asked questions
The questions prospects ask before they book.
- Can you sign our MSA and SOWs?
- Yes. I sign enterprise MSAs with standard US LLC terms. SOWs are written per engagement. Procurement turnaround is typically 2-4 weeks.
- Do you carry insurance?
- Yes. Standard contractor E&O and general liability. Certificates provided on request.
- Can you work inside our change management process?
- Yes. I follow existing change approval, code review, and deployment gates. No shortcuts, no bypass.
- What about SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits?
- I work inside your compliance posture. I do not bring my own. All data, accounts, and systems run on your infrastructure.
- Can you work 100 percent on our issued hardware?
- Yes, if required. I also support VDI. Most enterprise engagements run on my hardware with your SSO and vendor onboarding, but I accommodate stricter postures.
