Who you'll work with

Rae

Founder, Scale Stack

I started Scale Stack after years shipping production backends — Firebase, Stripe webhooks, real-time pipelines, and LLM integrations — for teams that couldn't afford a full platform org yet.

Every architecture review is run by me personally: no hand-off to juniors, no sales deck. You get a straight answer on what's broken, what to fix first, and what it would cost.

I've personally run architecture reviews for 20+ teams across fintech, SaaS, logistics, and health-tech.

  • Firebase & serverless at scale
  • Stripe / HubSpot / Meta integrations

Problems you solve

Revenue-critical systems need someone who thinks like an architect, not a coder.

  • Data is messy

    Systems don't talk. CRMs, payments, and internal tools are siloed. You spend more time fixing than building.

  • Automations break

    Webhooks fail, retries don't exist, and no one knows why. When it breaks at 2am, you're the one fixing it.

  • Scaling costs explode

    Serverless should scale down too. Poor architecture means bills that grow faster than revenue.

  • AI without infrastructure

    LLMs and agents are useless if they can't read your data, trigger workflows, or run reliably in production.
