Work with me: blockchain, privacy, execution

Services

I usually work milestone-based: we agree what “done” looks like, slice it into milestones, and pay against delivery, not endless retainers for vague “strategy.” If the real problem isn’t clear yet, we start there; then I design something that fits, and pull in sharper specialists when the work needs them.

If the ballparks below still don’t fit your budget, say so. I’m happy to find a middle ground: narrower scope, phased milestones, or a lighter first slice so something still ships.

What I take on

Ballparks so nobody wastes a call on a mismatch. Final fees depend on depth, and I’m open to tightening scope if budget is tight. We’ll fix milestones and price before anything starts.

Privacy & trust positioning review

When you handle sensitive flows and need the story and the design choices to line up

  • Walk through threats, data flows, comms, and docs against a practical checklist (informed by privacy-explorer and audit-style work I’ve done elsewhere)
  • Written report: what to fix first, what to say differently, where you’re over- or under-claiming
  • Optional readout (60–90 min) so your team isn’t reading tea leaves

Cadence Usually 1–2 weeks, milestone-defined

Typical range €2k–€5k (often from ~€2k)

This is not a formal smart-contract audit. It’s about trust, clarity, and privacy-aware positioning, plus honest gaps you should close before you promise users the moon.

Technical narrative sprint

Fundraising, launches, integrations: when the tech is real but the story isn’t landing

  • One flagship piece (your pick within scope): e.g. litepaper section, integration guide, security/privacy page, or governance explainer
  • One alignment pass with your team so terminology and claims match what you actually ship
  • Small pass on a related surface (landing blurb, README) when it’s in scope, not a full site rewrite

Cadence Often 2–4 weeks, split into milestones

Typical range €3k–€8k (often from ~€3k)

Milestone roadmap intensive

When everyone’s busy but nobody agrees what ships first

  • Two working sessions: map constraints, dependencies, and where you’re kidding yourselves
  • A short milestone plan: what ships when, who owns it, what “done” means, so you can actually execute
  • Optional checkpoint ~2 weeks later to re-order if reality changed (scoped as its own mini-milestone)

Cadence ~1–2 weeks, tied to milestones

Typical range €2k–€4k (often from ~€2k)

Also possible

Event & program design

Tracks, themes, run-of-show skeletons, partner logic. Stuff I’ve actually run at scale, not theory from a slide deck.

Typical range €2.5k–€10k+ (scope-dependent)

Bounty / grant specification

Specs you can post: scope, acceptance criteria, milestones, payouts, so builders know what winning looks like.

Typical range €1k–€3k (often from ~€1k)
