Work with Rajiv
I occasionally take advisory and consulting engagements for teams facing database scaling, cloud migration, or AI integration challenges. Email is the right starting point.
Book a Discovery Call
A 30-minute call to understand your situation before any engagement. I'll ask about your system, your constraints, and what you've already tried.
Topics I can engage on:
- Database architecture review — PostgreSQL, MySQL, Aurora, Cassandra, or MongoDB at scale
- Commercial database exit planning — Oracle or SQL Server to open-source migration strategy
- AI agent architecture — authority boundaries, evals, observability, and database access control
- Cloud platform design — multi-region, progressive delivery, GitOps, and IaC
For corrections, questions about a specific post, or to start an engagement discussion:
I read every email and reply within a few business days. I do not reply to cold outreach unrelated to the site's topics.
What I Do Not Offer
- Time-and-materials staffing or contract development work
- Emergency incident response on unfamiliar systems with no prior context
- Vendor selection based on fee arrangements rather than technical fit
- Advisory retainers that are marketing rather than substantive technical engagement
