Services
Five ways to work with me. All remote, IST-anchored with four hours of overlap into Europe and the US East Coast. Prices are in INR.
Architecture Sprint
For teams with an agentic idea and no agreed shape. Ends with a build plan detailed enough to staff and estimate.
- Discovery with your engineers and domain experts
- Target architecture, tool contracts and failure model
- Evaluation approach and cost ceiling
- A costed, sequenced build plan you keep
Build and Ship
I build the thing. Hands on keyboard in your repos, working with your team, shipping to your infrastructure.
- Architecture plus implementation, not handoff
- CI, observability and runbooks as part of delivery
- A working demo and written status
- Pair sessions so the knowledge stays with your team
Fractional Architect
Architectural cover for a team that has engineers but no one senior enough to own the system-level decisions.
- Design and code review on the decisions that matter
- Escalation support for architecture questions
- Hiring input: loops, rubrics, technical interviews
- An architecture health review
Interview Prep
A focused session before a system-design or backend loop — what panels probe for, where candidates lose signal, and how to structure an answer under time.
- A mock round on a real system-design or backend prompt
- Live feedback on structure, trade-offs and communication
- A written scorecard with the gaps to close
- Follow-up notes and reading for your target level
30-Minute Discussion
A short call to talk through one problem — an architecture decision, a career question, or whether a longer engagement makes sense.
- One topic, thirty minutes, no deck
- A direct opinion and the reasoning behind it
- Pointers to what I would read or do next
How an engagement runs
- A 30-minute call: the problem, the constraints, who else is involved.
- A one-page scope with deliverables, price and dates — usually within two days.
- Weekly written updates, a shared board, and a demo every Friday.
- Handover: runbooks, architecture decision records, and a walkthrough with your team.
What clients say
"We had four months of agent prototypes and nothing in production. Puneet got one workflow live in five weeks and taught us why the other three were the wrong shape."
"He rebuilt the load-matching service and left the team able to maintain it. That second part is rare."
