Services & Engagements

AI consulting, senior engineering, and custom builds

Six common engagements. Most clients land somewhere between them — that's fine. The last card is for the ones that don't fit a box.

01

AI Enablement & Training

Hands-on sessions with engineering teams. Not slides. We work through your actual workflows, identify where AI fits, and get your engineers building. Teams come out with changed habits — Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot used on real work — not just awareness.

Right for you if
You've rolled out AI tools and aren't seeing ROI.
02

Custom AI Engineering

MCP servers, agentic workflows, autonomous pipelines with verification gates, LLM integrations, RAG systems, and AI-powered internal tooling. Built right. Built fast.

Right for you if
You need AI capability built and don't have the in-house expertise.
03

Fractional AI & Technical Leadership

Own the AI roadmap, make architecture decisions, ship — without a full-time hire. Senior engineering and AI strategy on a fractional basis.

Right for you if
You need AI leadership but aren't ready to hire full-time.
04

Engineering & Platform Architecture

Distributed systems, platform redesign, scalability, modernization. Twenty years of senior engineering — Python, TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, MySQL — applied to the problems your team can't crack alone.

Right for you if
Your platform needs to scale and your team needs a senior partner.
05

Cloud, DevOps & Cost Optimization

AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Railway, Cloudflare. CI/CD, autonomous pipelines with self-healing recovery, infrastructure cost optimization. 83% cloud spend reduction on a production AI platform via AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes redesign.

Right for you if
Cloud costs are creeping up or your deploys are fragile.
06

Custom Engagements

Not every problem fits a service tier. Rapid prototypes, technical due diligence, M&A engineering review, NDA-bound builds, advisory retainers, hybrid AI + engineering programs. If it's hard and it's engineering, we should talk.

Right for you if
Your problem doesn't fit a category — and you want it solved this quarter.
About

About Matt Belchak

Yes, I can do the slides. They'd look great. That's still not why you hire me. Hire me to sit down with your team and get them building — that's where the work happens.
