I help funded startups fix fragile architecture, reduce delivery chaos, and ship critical product work — without hiring a full-time CTO or building a large senior team.
Trusted by funded startups
Most startup teams do not struggle because their engineers are bad.
They struggle because the system around them has outgrown the company's current technical leadership bandwidth.
Architecture decisions get postponed. Technical debt compounds. Delivery becomes slower. Hiring more engineers adds coordination overhead instead of speed. AI initiatives turn into experiments instead of production capability.
That is where Tech Swamy comes in.
I work with your team as a senior engineering partner — helping you make better technical decisions, ship critical work, and build systems that can handle the next stage of growth.
The best outcomes come from strong fit. These are the situations where this engagement model earns its keep.
Engagement model: 6–12+ month embedded partnerships for funded startups. Advisory starts at $3k/month; deeper implementation partnerships typically range $6k–$15k/month. • Book a Tech Fit Call →
A focused diagnostic for founders and CTOs who know engineering is slowing down but need clarity on what to fix first.
The core long-term retainer for startups with an existing team that needs senior engineering leadership inside delivery.
For SaaS and startup teams adding AI capabilities that need to work inside real product workflows, not just demos.
Most consultants take a requirement and spit out code. I take a different approach entirely — one that's built on trust, deep integration, and shared accountability.
I don't drop in for a sprint and disappear. I join your standups, your Slack, your planning sessions. I become part of your team.
Minimum 6-month engagements. Enough time to understand your domain deeply, make meaningful architectural decisions, and see them through.
I stick around to live with the consequences of my decisions. No hit-and-run architecture — I own the outcomes alongside you.
I work with your engineers and CXOs to build strong foundations — not just features. Think of me as your extended engineering partner.
Tech Swamy is intentionally founder-led.
You work directly with Vijay Rangan — a senior engineer and architect with experience across Postman, ThoughtWorks, Gojek, Nubank, Terrascope, and high-growth startup consulting.
That means the person helping you make architectural decisions is also close enough to the code, team, and delivery reality to own the consequences.
We discuss your product, team, current bottlenecks, and whether this model is right for you.
I review your architecture, delivery process, technical risks, and near-term priorities.
You get a clear roadmap: what to fix, what to defer, and what needs senior attention.
I join your team rhythm, help make key technical decisions, mentor engineers, and ship critical work.
