Fractional Expert
Senior software and data engineering horsepower, on flexible time.
Fractional Expert is pure execution for teams that already build software. You get a senior engineer who immerses in your codebase fast — Python, Node.js, C#, Vue, Svelte — and ships integrations, data pipelines and architecture improvements by the hour, day or weekly block. AI features included where they pay off, built with the same pragmatic engineering standards.
- Tech companies and agencies needing senior capacity now
- CTOs who want new features shipped without hiring full-time
- Teams with a backlog of pipelines, integrations or performance work
- Rapid immersion in your existing stack and conventions
- Integrations and automations: APIs, AI features with evaluation and cost control where useful
- Data pipeline and automation design, optimization and hardening
- Architecture reviews and pragmatic, shippable code
How it works
- 1Immersion
Access to repo and docs, short kickoff, first quick wins identified.
- 2Execution blocks
Work in hourly, daily or weekly blocks. Async updates, reviews in your tools.
- 3Handover
Documented code, no lock-in. Scale up, down or pause as needed.
Pricing
- Hourly: 50€ – 100€ / hour
- Daily (TJM): 350€ – 700€ / day
- Weekly / monthly blocks: dedicated fractional retainer, e.g. 20h per week
No product-management overhead — you set priorities, we execute. Rates vary with commitment length and urgency.
Focus areas
- Codebase immersion across Python, Node.js, C#, Vue and Svelte
- Integration and automation design, including AI where useful
- Custom data pipeline optimization
- Pragmatic architecture with measurable outcomes
Questions
No. This model is execution-only by design: your team owns the roadmap, we own the technical delivery.
A single day to start. Most clients settle into weekly blocks once velocity is proven.
Remote by default, async-friendly. On-site bursts can be arranged for kickoffs.
Share your stack and the top two backlog items. We estimate the first block.
