Anatolii Veremiienko · Tech Leadership & Delivery
I'm Anatolii — a Tech Lead and Delivery Manager bringing engineering depth, delivery discipline, and a vetted bench of trusted engineers to startups, marketplaces, and SaaS teams that need to ship without drama.
01 — About
I'm Anatolii Veremiienko — eight years of hands-on engineering across full-stack roles, with backend-heavy PHP and Node.js work plus modern React and Next.js on the frontend. The kind of background where the architecture talk is grounded in the architecture I've actually shipped.
For the past three years, the work has shifted toward delivery and team leadership: owning roadmaps, building and leading a six-person team end-to-end, and turning chaotic backlogs into shipped products. The headline value is calm, predictable cadence — not heroics.
Modern AI tooling is part of the operating system — fluent with Claude, OpenAI and Gemini APIs, daily-driver use of Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot, and shipped LLM-backed product features (RAG, embeddings, agentic workflows). The point isn't to chase hype — it's to make small senior teams ship the work of larger ones.
Based in Chernihiv, Ukraine and working remotely with European and US teams. Engagements typically run from a few-week setup sprint to a multi-month embed as a fractional tech lead or delivery manager.
02 — Services
Pick one, mix several, or start with a discovery call to scope what your team actually needs. When the work is larger than one engineer, I bring trusted senior people in from the network.
Owning the full delivery loop: planning, execution, release coordination, post-release follow-up.
Best for: Founders who need predictable shipping cadence without hiring a full-time EM yet.
Hands-on technical leadership: architecture reviews, refactoring plans, code review governance, tech debt strategy.
Best for: Teams whose codebase has grown faster than its discipline.
A small, senior pair of hands — across the classic web stack and modern AI tooling.
Best for: Marketplaces, e-commerce, SaaS, and AI-first products needing a senior engineer who also thinks about delivery.
Short focused engagement to install the missing operating system: CI/CD, release process, quality gates.
Best for: 4–8 person teams that ship by heroics today.
1-on-1 sessions for senior engineers stepping into Tech Lead / EM seats — and for whole teams getting their leadership bench in place.
Best for: Senior engineers stepping up into leadership, or managers wanting a sounding board.
When the work is bigger than one pair of hands, I bring in trusted engineers from a curated network — vetted, senior, same operating standards.
Best for: Engagements that need 2–4 senior engineers under one accountable lead, fast.
03 — Process
Five honest phases. Intake is free; everything that ends in a written deliverable — research, design, code, reports — is paid work.
01
Intake
Free · 30 min
A short call to understand the problem, the team, and the timeline. No prep needed and no obligation.
Deliverable: A clear yes / no on whether I'm the right fit, plus a rough plan of attack.
02
Discovery & R&D
Paid · fixed-price sprint
Deeper look at the codebase, the roadmap, the team. Stakeholder interviews where useful. This is real research — and it's the first paid step.
Deliverable: A written scope document: options, risks, estimates, and a recommended path.
03
Design & Architecture
Paid · part of discovery or standalone
System design, ADRs, refactoring plan, release-process design — whichever the engagement actually needs.
Deliverable: A documented plan a team can execute against, with the supporting decisions written down.
04
Implementation
Paid · sprint or fractional retainer
Hands-on engineering and / or delivery management. Predictable cadence, weekly reporting, and the discipline to keep shipping.
Deliverable: Shipped increments and the operating rhythm that turns shipping into a non-event.
05
Release & Operate
Paid · retainer or transition
Production release, observability, on-call setup, and a clean handoff back to the in-house team.
Deliverable: A team that doesn't need me anymore.
Pricing
Intake is free. Engagements typically start around $90/hr for ad-hoc work, ~$4,000 for a fixed-price Discovery sprint, or ~$5,500/month for a fractional Tech Lead / Delivery retainer. Mentor sessions start at $200 per hour-long slot; network / team-augmentation engagements are quoted per scope.
Scope and final price are agreed in writing before any paid work starts. Quoted in USD; other currencies on request.
