Work with me

You keep the client. I take the delivery.

Three ways to engage, and I do the work in all of them. Day rate on request. Tell me the shape of the work on a call and you get a number in writing the same day.

↳Inside a fixed-scope cost review

What a cost review looks at

When the fixed-scope work is a Snowflake or Databricks bill, this is the order I work in. The ranking almost never changes; the proportions do.

Typical proportions across the platforms I have reviewed, not a measurement of yours. The point is the ranking: idle compute is almost always first.

Share of avoidable spend, typical review
Warehouses that never auto-suspend32%
idle compute, billed by the second
Full refreshes that should be merges26%
rebuilding rows that did not change
Models and tables nothing reads18%
built nightly, queried never
Oversized warehouses for the query14%
XL doing an S-sized job
Everything else10%
clustering, spill, bad joins

Questions from delivery managers

Anything not answered here, email me. I answer procurement checklists in writing, in full, the same week.

We're an EU or UK consultancy. Can we subcontract to someone outside the EU?

Yes, and it is the normal shape. You remain the supplier of record for your client; I am your subcontractor. I sign your NDA and DPA as written and act as a sub-processor under Article 28(4), with EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 3) filled in and ready, so your legal team is not drafting from scratch.

How much notice do you need?

Five days a week are available for subcontract work. Tell me the start date and I will tell you honestly whether it is free.

How do you invoice?

Monthly, in EUR or GBP, from my registered business with a tax ID on the invoice. Services exported from Morocco are VAT-exempt, so there is no VAT line for your finance team to reconcile. Bank transfer, 30 days net.

Can you work to our client's process?

Yes. Code goes through your CI and review, against your definition of done. I can be introduced as your engineer, join the client's calls, or stay entirely behind your delivery manager.

Do you work on site?

Remote, with flexible hours: I am on UTC and shift my working day to your team's, whether that is European or American. Travel for a kickoff or a workshop can be discussed engagement by engagement.

What access do you need in week one?

SELECT and query history inside the client's environment, through their VPN, VDI or bastion. Nothing is copied to my machine. Write access comes later, scoped to a named role and revoked at the end of the engagement.

Can we see references?

Two client references on request, plus the case studies on this site with the numbers left in. I am happy to walk your client's architect through any of them on a call.

What do you not do?

Report building in Power BI or Tableau. I build the models behind them, not the dashboards. I am also not a streaming specialist beyond batch and micro-batch. If that is what the project needs, I will tell you on the first call rather than on week three.

Send me the brief.

The stack, the client's sector, the start date and how many days a week. Twenty minutes on a call is enough for both of us to know whether this works.
