<summary>What I am doing right now</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I’m currently in Erlangen, Germany, trying to understand how to take
|
||
care of new, tiny human beings, one of them in Kindergarten, and one
|
||
of them learning to talk. It’s more challenging and engaging than any
|
||
of my other projects.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I’m also working on application and infrastructure security and code
|
||
for various AI companies as well as help automate networks and support
|
||
due diligence work. It’s a lot all at once, but I wouldn’t have it any
|
||
other way.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</details>
|
||
<details id="services">
|
||
<summary>What I can do for you</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I am occasionally available for consulting work. Here are a few
|
||
examples of work I could do for you:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><b>Technical due diligence:</b> assess architecture, risks, security
|
||
posture, team and process maturity, and technical debt.</li>
|
||
<li><b>Security, ISMS & SSDLC:</b> help both with hands-on application
|
||
security and shape security processes that are both practical and hold
|
||
up in audits.</li>
|
||
<li><b>Network automation:</b> help ISPs, IXPs, and data center
|
||
providers automate their network deployment from source of truth to
|
||
device.</li>
|
||
<li><b>LLM and developer tooling:</b> build practical workflows, internal
|
||
tools, DX systems, evaluation, and integration.</li>
|
||
<li><b>Interim technical leadership:</b> support companies, founders,
|
||
and teams navigate challenging times while keeping an eye on the
|
||
product and technical direction.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I have worked with a wide array of technologies and companies and
|
||
consider myself a generalist—the best way to know whether I’m the right
|
||
person for your project is to ask me.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
My ultimate goal is always to make myself replaceable. I want you to be
|
||
able to take over control whenever you think the right time has
|
||
come—ideally we find a moment together—, and I want you to be able to
|
||
pick up work exactly where I stopped. I don’t want you to become
|
||
dependent on me, and neither do you.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can also take a look at <a href="/static/resume.pdf">my résumé</a>
|
||
or <a href="https://github.com/hellerve">my Github profile</a> if
|
||
you’re especially curious.

</p>
|
||
</details>
|
||
<details id="rates">
|
||
<summary>What I charge</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
My rates are fixed and follow a simple, but beautiful scheme:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
If your product is a closed source, proprietary solution, I charge
|
||
1,400€ per day.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
If your product is open source, I charge 1,120€ per day, 100€ of which
|
||
will be donated to a charitable organization of my choice. If you want
|
||
to know which organizations I support and why, check out
|
||
<a href="https://blog.veitheller.de/Giving_to_Charities.html">my
|
||
blog post about it</a>!
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
My workday has eight hours and I charge by the hour.
|
||
</p>
|
||
