Hexward ConsultingAbout Robin
Senior engineering consultant. No agency. No juniors. Direct engagement.
I spent 6 years as a Principal Solution Engineer at SAP, where I learned that most engineering problems aren't technical — they're about making the right trade-offs under real constraints. Now I bring that experience directly to teams who need senior firepower without the overhead of a full-time hire or the risk of an agency.
I started Hexward because too many teams are stuck choosing between expensive agencies that delegate to juniors, or full-time hires they can't justify long-term. You get me — directly, on your schedule, at a fair hourly rate or a fixed-scope engagement when that fits better.

Engagement philosophy
I optimize for outcomes your team can own, not dependency on a consultant. That means clear deliverables, honest assessments when something isn't worth fixing, and documentation your engineers can run with after I leave.
For larger problems, I prefer tight scopes: a pipeline audit before a six-month rebuild, a discovery sprint before an AI automation program. You should know what you're buying and what done looks like before we start.
If we work together and the assessment surfaces implementation work you want help with, we scope that separately. No pressure either way.
