Monthly Tech Retainers

A senior technologist on call for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Three tiers, one-month minimum, bilingual EN/ES.

What I build

With Monthly Retainers

  • Weekly or biweekly working sessions
  • Active build, fix, and iteration across the stack
  • Vendor management and code review
  • AI strategy, policy, and rollout
  • Async Slack/email access for in-the-moment decisions

Why this matters

For mission-
driven work

Mission-driven teams need consistent tech leadership, not constant agency intros. Retainers give you a partner who knows your stack, your team, and your values, and shows up every month.
