Software Engineering Consulting

Hola.

You’re likely looking for help because either you have an idea and you need help executing on it, or you’re executing on the idea and you need help evaluating the results.

I’ve spent decades shipping digital software products - from mainframes to websites to mobile to IOT. I’ve worked across many markets such as insurance, healthcare, athleisure, manufacturing, shipping, field-enablement, navigation, sensor-enablement, and more. I’ve worked with many different methodologies and tech from the 4Ds to Agile / Scrum to the Cloud and to Empathy Leadership.

I center my thinking around 3 things: people, process, and disciplines. I can inspect these things and identify areas for improvement. More importantly, I can provide cohesion between these which is essential for success.

My experience is from the discipline of software engineering, the science of product management, and the needs of the users.

This experience allows me to audit a business through a wide lens because I know how to work with many disciplines including design, content, marketing, engineering, QA, project management, product management, executive leadership, fund-raising, revenue generation, and M&A.

Here are some of the things that I am hired as a consultant for.

- Evaluate a software delivery team

- Craft a SDLC

- Perform a technology and product review

- Design a performance management discipline

- Evaluate a product discipline for both strategy and execution

- Craft a sales and marketing approach

- Evaluate a revenue model

- Evaluate quality control

- Craft a customer support and production support model

- Oh no…this is on fire

My main deliverable is often an analysis of specific business objectives or implementations along with data-driven solutions for how to achieve measurable goals.

Please reach out to me if you’d like to talk about what you feel you need to do. I won’t waste your time. I’ll either recommend an approach and a fee because I know I can help, or I’ll suggest someone else for you to speak with because I know I can’t help.

My experience is listed on LinkedIn here. You can contact me via LinkedIn as well.

My mantra is simple - any mountain can be climbed provided you pick a path and then evaluate the journey frequently.

Wishing you well.

Caldwell
