When do you need a senior engineer instead of AI tools?

You need a senior engineer when facing complex architectural decisions, legacy system modernization, performance issues at scale, or problems requiring creative solutions and human judgment that AI tools cannot provide.

What complex technical problems do you specialize in?

I specialize in legacy system modernization, scalability challenges, architecture refactoring, performance optimization, technical debt resolution, and strategic technology decisions that require 13+ years of experience.

How is senior engineering different from regular development?

Senior engineering focuses on solving complex problems that require deep expertise, strategic thinking, and experience-based judgment. It's about making critical architectural decisions, not just writing code.

What is your rate for complex technical problems?

Rates vary based on project complexity and duration, typically ranging from $100-150/hour for senior engineering work. Complex problem-solving and architecture engineering commands premium rates due to the specialized expertise required.
