Heivol Consulting
Hands-on consulting drawn from building the rest of the Heivol portfolio. AI agent systems, self-hosted infrastructure, end-to-end encrypted platforms, and engineering leadership — scoped to a brief, not an open-ended retainer.
What a good engagement looks like
AI agent systems
Designing, deploying, and operating production-grade AI agent platforms. Tenancy, isolation, cost controls, evaluation loops, and the operational realities that turn a demo into a service.
Self-hosted infrastructure
Proxmox, LXC, Docker, reverse proxies, TLS, observability. The boring, load-bearing layer that everything else rides on — built to stay standing without a platform team on-call.
End-to-end encrypted platforms
Client-side cryptography, key management, zero-knowledge architectures, and the threat-model work that separates a “secure” product from one that actually is.
Architecture reviews
A fresh set of eyes on a design or a running system. Written findings, prioritised by risk and leverage, with concrete fixes — not a 40-slide deck of platitudes.
Delivery acceleration
Unblocking stuck initiatives: scoping, sequencing, technical direction, and pair-building alongside your team until the work is shipping under its own momentum.
Embedded leadership
Fractional engineering leadership for teams between hires or navigating a hard technical transition. Time-boxed, handover built in from day one.
