Senior Engineers.
Available Now.
These are the engineers I would put in front of a CTO today. Not a catalogue. A shortlist. Availability changes — ask before it does.
Every engineer on this page passed a 7-step personal vetting process.
“I interview every engineer myself. No algorithm. No automated scoring. One standard.”
