Consulting
Three ways to work together
I reserve 10 hours per week for consulting. That means fewer concurrent clients, deeper involvement, and engagements sized to fit: a 6-week Design Authority Sprint, a €1,600/month Design Authority Retainer, or €200/hr On-Demand Sessions.
Every project starts with a discovery call to confirm fit. Most sprints kick off within two weeks; retainer and session slots usually open sooner.
"Great and very useful tips Igor provided me to organise my code better."
— Joshua Riley
"He's incredibly patient, very helpful. And clearly knowledgable."
— Basel Farag
Design Authority Sprint
6-week, 10 hour/week engagement to eliminate your biggest iOS or AI bottleneck.
Fix the problem that's slowing your team without hiring a full-time principal.
Best fit when
- Build times over 10 minutes, critical performance regressions, or risky launches.
- AI features that are unreliable, expensive, or stuck between prototype and production.
- Leadership teams who need a design authority to unblock a high-stakes initiative.
What you can expect
- Weekly cadence: daily async reviews plus a 90-minute live session.
- Your engineers execute while I design, review, and document the solution.
- Fixed fee €12k–€18k, scoped before kickoff with 30-day follow-up support.
Design Authority Retainer
Monthly principal-level guidance capped at 10 hours for €1,600.
Keep a principal engineer in your corner without the €180k salary.
Best fit when
- Tech leads who need a second brain for architecture decisions and PRs.
- Teams adopting SwiftUI, TCA, or AI workflows who want steady expert feedback.
- Founders or engineering managers balancing people leadership with technical oversight.
What you can expect
- Structured as 4 hours of office hours, 4 hours of deep PR reviews, 2 hours of async Slack.
- Priority access to book overflow Sessions at €200/hr when workload spikes.
- 30-day risk-free guarantee and limited to two clients to maintain quality.
On-Demand Sessions
€200/hr tactical sessions booked in 60–120 minute blocks within days.
Get unstuck fast, validate a decision, or prototype with a principal-level partner.
Best fit when
- Teams facing an immediate architecture, AI, or performance blocker.
- Senior ICs who want rapid validation before investing weeks of engineering time.
- Leaders testing new ideas who need a working prototype to make a go/no-go call.
What you can expect
- Live pairing with recorded sessions, written notes, and 24-hour follow-up support.
- Common outcomes: decomposed TCA reducers, stabilized AI prompts, faster builds.
- Easiest way to start—can upgrade into the Sprint or Retainer once scope expands.
Not sure which path is right? Book a discovery call and we will map the simplest way to reach your goal. If a Sprint or Retainer is overkill, we start with the Entry Point session.
