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.


Who it is for
  • 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
What you get
  • 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

  1. 1Immersion

    Access to repo and docs, short kickoff, first quick wins identified.

  2. 2Execution blocks

    Work in hourly, daily or weekly blocks. Async updates, reviews in your tools.

  3. 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

Do you do product management?

No. This model is execution-only by design: your team owns the roadmap, we own the technical delivery.

What is the minimum commitment?

A single day to start. Most clients settle into weekly blocks once velocity is proven.

Remote or on-site?

Remote by default, async-friendly. On-site bursts can be arranged for kickoffs.
