Software Engineering Advisor/Consultant
Mar 2013 – Present
As an advisor I'm a problem definer, acting as an impartial sounding board to test ideas and identify pros and cons of different courses of actions. I provide my clients new and broader perspectives to solve their problems and many times, I do early-warnings about emerging problems ([Doomsayer](/doomsayer) role). This is something that's often missed by consultant's sharpened focus on getting rid off the problem at hand.
An advisor is a problems definer. Usually I serve as an impartial sounding board, a partner that helps test ideas and then identify pros and cons of proposed courses of action. Usually I provide my clients with new and broader perspectives, strengthening their capacity to solve their own problems. I'm used to do early-warnings about emerging problems (Doomsayer role), signals often missed by a consultant's sharpened focus on eliminating the problem at hand.
A consultant is a problem solver, so I'm a bit of that too. I can be a great simplifier, discovering root causes of software engineering/business problems, and help fixing it.
