I'm a software engineer with nine years across full-stack development, infrastructure, and systems tooling. I've worked in cloud-native environments, built deployment pipelines, and spent a lot of time inside other people's codebases figuring out why things are slower and more expensive than they should be.
Dragonet exists because the standard model is broken. A consultant observes, writes a report, and disappears. What you're left with is a prioritized list of problems and the same team that was already too overwhelmed to address them. A scoped performance engagement changes that — I'm in the trenches with your engineers until the savings are real and measurable.
I don't price based on how much I think I can extract. I don't hand over a PDF and call it done. And the invoice only arrives after the graphs prove it worked. We're both pulling toward the same finish line.
