Senior Technical Advisory
I join your Slack or Teams, review architecture decisions, help you hire devs, and tell you when you're overengineering something. No retainer, no long-term commitment — just honest technical input when it matters.
I'm Adrien, senior developer and tech lead with 10+ years of shipping software. Through Ellin Tech I work with companies that need a senior technical eye — architecture reviews, code audits, hiring support, honest feedback on what's actually worth building. No buzzwords, no inflated roadmaps. Remote or hybrid depending on location, based in Belgium.
I work with companies that are building or maintaining software without someone senior enough to make the hard technical calls.
I join your Slack or Teams, review architecture decisions, help you hire devs, and tell you when you're overengineering something. No retainer, no long-term commitment — just honest technical input when it matters.
I read your code, your infra setup, your deployment pipeline. You get a short written report: what's solid, what's going to hurt you in 6 months, and what to fix first. Typically done in two days.
If you need something built — a prototype, an internal tool, a customer-facing app — I can do that too. We define the scope together, I ship it, you own the code.
I'll tell you what's good, what's going to cause problems, and what to do about it. If I'm not the right person for your problem, I'll tell you that too.
I'm not just giving opinions from the sideline. I read your code, review your PRs, and can build things myself when needed.
Remote or hybrid depending on location. Slack, Teams, email — whatever works for you. I fit into your workflow, not the other way around.
Send me an email. Tell me what you're building and where you're stuck. I'll get back to you within a day or two.
I send you a short proposal: what I'll do, how long it takes, what it costs. Clear and simple.
I join your communication tools and start delivering. Reviews, audits, hiring help, or builds — whatever we agreed on.
Monthly advisory continues as long as it's useful. One-off projects end with a deliverable you own.
I'm currently tech lead at an early-stage startup, building the product and team from scratch. Before that I spent years as a senior developer in consulting, where I was part of growing a dev studio from 4 to 15 engineers — I saw firsthand what works and what doesn't when scaling a technical team.
I've shipped software with React Native, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and plenty of other things, but the stack matters less than knowing when to keep things simple and when complexity is actually justified. Most of the expensive technical mistakes I see come from building too much, too early.
I take on a few clients alongside my main project. I'm not scaling a consulting business — I like the variety and the problems. If my plate is full, I'll tell you.
Architecture reviews, code audits, hiring support, tech stack decisions, or just someone senior to sanity-check your choices before you commit. I also build — prototypes, internal tools, apps. We define the scope together.
It depends on what you need. Send me an email describing your situation — I'll come back with a clear proposal. No surprises.
For ongoing advisory, expect async reviews and availability on Slack or Teams for quick questions. Remote or hybrid depending on location. We'll agree on the right level during our first exchange.
No. Startups, SMEs, agencies, solo founders — the common thread is needing senior technical input without a full-time hire.
Both. I can review your architecture and also ship code. You always own what I build.
Yes, fluent in French and English. Based in Belgium.
Drop me an email. Tell me what you're building and where you're stuck.
