Senior engineering for Odoo, marketplaces, and AI‑augmented teams.

I help small-to-mid e-commerce operators stop bleeding revenue from broken Amazon, eBay, and Walmart integrations. I build reliability and test infrastructure for Odoo teams running production. And I transfer the AI-augmented engineering practice that lets teams ship faster without making a mess.

What I do

Productized engagements built around real delivered work.

Every offer maps to something I've personally shipped at scale. No theoretical frameworks — specific deliverables with acceptance criteria.

Discovery

Find out what's broken — and what it's costing you — before committing to a fix.

Marketplace Health Snapshot
3 days · $1,500–$2,500

Lightning audit of your Amazon, eBay, and/or Walmart setup. I review 5–10 specific issues with screenshots, impact estimates, and a prioritized fix list. No commitment to follow-on work.

Odoo Discovery Audit
1 week · $3,000–$5,000

Deep diagnostic on your Odoo deployment. Module health, integration drift, code-quality flags, security findings, performance hot spots, and a roadmap with quantified wins.

Projects

Fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables and acceptance criteria.

Marketplace Reconciliation Sprint
3–6 weeks · $20K–$50K

When listings drift from your ERP, sales bleed silently. I clean up variation families, ASIN conflicts, image pipelines, and pricing/repricer issues. Recent: 703 of 703 variation families reconciled to 100% on a multi-thousand-listing Amazon catalog.

Odoo Module Build & Customization
1–8 weeks · $5K–$50K

Custom Odoo 18 modules. Marketplace connectors. ShipStation integration. I write Odoo Python the way Odoo wants you to — no shims, no cross-module patches, no debugging-by-vibes.

Odoo Reliability Pack New
1–2 weeks · $15K–$25K

Install Odoo-aware monitoring: snapshot/diff system, error-digest pipeline with MD5 signature grouping, module-lock and deploy-lock coordination for multi-engineer teams, runbooks, and dashboards. Most Odoo shops have none of this.

Odoo Test Suite Bootstrap New
3–5 weeks · $20K–$40K

Build a 100+ method baseline test suite covering security regressions, order lifecycle, business rules, integrations, and data integrity. Wired to mocker patterns so external-API tests run reliably. Outcome: deployment confidence and faster MTTR.

Modern Payment Stack New
2–4 weeks · $10K–$25K

PayPal v1.2.2+ across all relevant modules. Apple Pay and Google Pay enabled. Vaulting configured. Webhooks hardened. Express checkout for high-converting flows. Affirm/PayTomorrow integration where applicable.

Odoo Theme Modernization New
3–6 weeks · $15K–$40K

Replace legacy themes (Fluid22, Prime, droggol, etc.) with a single-source-of-truth modern brand theme. Design tokens, type system, color palette, COW-aware customization patterns. Built to survive future Odoo upgrades.

Engineering Practice Bootstrap New
1 week · $12K–$18K

Hands-on transfer of the AI-augmented engineering practice to your team. Knowledge vault setup, persistent memory pattern, hard-rules culture, runbook discipline, multi-terminal coordination, watchdog/snapshot habits. Ship AI-augmented work with rigor instead of vibes.

Major engagements

Multi-month transformations and migrations for high-stakes outcomes.

Odoo Production Migration
4–8 weeks · $25K–$75K

Staging-to-live cutover with the migration toolkit I've built and battle-tested. SQL/CSV-based, no XML-RPC. Sequence-safe. Pre-cutover Playwright validation. Built for zero-data-loss outcomes.

MTO E-commerce Ops Build New
4–10 weeks · $30K–$80K

Specialized for D2C manufacturers running Odoo. BOM-aware product modeling, manufacturing rules with station dashboards, approval gates, hold/unhold and partial-completion flows, lead-time logic that stays accurate, marketplace integration with MTO patterns. If you make what you sell, this is the niche.

Ongoing

Recurring engagements for teams that need senior depth on tap.

Senior-Engineer-on-Demand New
Monthly retainer · $4K–$12K/mo

For Odoo agencies and consultancies with deep benches that occasionally need depth on the hardest problems. Reserved hours per month with priority response. Phone-a-friend relationship, not a vendor. SLA: 4-hour response, 1-business-day delivery on triaged issues.

Fractional Senior Engineer
10–20 hrs/week · $8K–$15K/mo

For e-commerce and Odoo shops needing senior depth without a full-time hire. Strategic plus hands-on. Available for select retainer clients.

Hourly rate when not productized: $175/hr standard; $200+ for emergency or cleared-environment work; $250+ for urgent production incident response.
Recent work

7-month Odoo 18 modernization — multi-marketplace e-commerce client.

A U.S.-based made-to-order e-commerce business with active listings on Amazon, eBay, and Walmart had drifted across all three marketplaces. The staging-to-production migration was months overdue. Engineering had become reactive. 47/100 software-quality score from a third-party audit.

Outcome: Platform was production-ready for cutover at handoff. Critical and high audit findings closed. 100% Amazon variation reconciliation. The work demonstrated that an AI-augmented engineering practice — combined with serious discipline (lock files, watchdog snapshots, knowledge vaults, hard rules, test suites) — produces enterprise-grade outcomes in a fraction of the calendar time a traditional consulting engagement would require.
