Kafka & Backend Reliability Consulting, Taken to Order
Four ways to hire the same discipline that shipped Saudi Aramco’s booking module and kept 200+ live devices honest. Scope is fixed in writing before work begins; terms on enquiry.

No. 1Kafka Reliability Audit
fixed fee · 1–2 weeksA structured review of your event pipeline: offset and commit semantics, poison-message handling, partitioning and ordering, consumer-lag posture, and replay readiness. You get the failure modes before production finds them.
No. 2Telemetry / IoT Ingestion Build
project · 4–8 weeksDesign and build of an ingestion pipeline for device data: MQTT or CDC in, Kafka through, idempotent consumers out — with the parity checks and gap detection that make “zero loss” a measurement, not a slogan.
No. 3Enterprise Module Sprint
project · 6–10 weeksA client-critical module delivered end-to-end — data model, backend, UI, QA coordination — the way the Aramco booking module was: one owner, a hard date, and scope tracked in the open.
No. 4Fractional Reliability Architect
retainer · monthlyStanding architecture and reliability counsel for your backend: design reviews, incident postmortems, hiring help, and a hand on the tiller as the system grows.
