--- title: "Capabilities & Consulting — Technical Builder for Hire" description: "Technical builder for hire — websites, web apps, data & reporting, and AI tools — who has also run nearly every function of a business. Audit from $1,500." source: https://sukisong.com/capabilities updated: 2026-07-09 --- # Capabilities & Consulting — Technical Builder for Hire I build across the whole stack myself — websites, web apps, data and reporting, and AI tools, designed and built end to end (Astro, TypeScript, Cloudflare, Stripe). And I have operated nearly every function of a business across fourteen years, so I build the right thing, not just a working thing — I understand where it fits because I have sat in those seats, not just managed people who have. When a build needs deeper engineering, I bring a vetted bench I have worked with. Three tiers below: Led / Owned (led or owned end to end), Hands-on (real, inside a broader role), and the Bench — the vetted specialists I deploy when scope outgrows one operator. On call, not on payroll. ## Led / Owned (12) - Program / Project Management — ~8 yrs PM · led 34 across 4 teams at Meta · Scrum Master - Data & Analytics / Reporting — Turntide: reporting infra + dashboards from scratch · Meta program metrics - Product Management — Shipped 9 GenAI products at Meta · Harvard-in-Tech product track - Sales / Business Development — Sales at Porsche · VIP international at Mulberry · Sales Mgr at Denttio - Go-to-Market & Enablement — Turntide "Enablement & Experience" · channel GTM, 10K motors - Customer Success / Accounts — Turntide VOC/CSAT + Stakeholder Experience · Avocado CX - Operations — Avocado −30% overhead / $480K · Turntide delivery & procurement - People / Team Leadership — Led teams at Porsche + Mulberry · 34 cross-fn at Meta - Strategy / Biz Ops — Founder · GTM strategy · AI operating frameworks at Meta - Build (product & web) — sukisong.com + client sites, Astro/TS/Cloudflare/Stripe · 9 GenAI products at Meta · Zendesk/Jira from scratch - Design / UX / Brand — Designed sukisong.com + the FFW brand system end to end — client called it "night and day" - Knowledge Mgmt & Systems — Turntide Knowledge & Quality Mgmt · second-brain consulting ## Hands-on (4) - Marketing / SEO & AIO — sukisong core offering · AI-discoverable + conversion - Compliance — Avocado: CCPA-compliant tech to CX + factory teams - Technical Writing / Docs — Process & documentation systems - Supply Chain / Logistics — Avocado hardware + factory · Turntide 10K motors install, intl ## The Bench (8) - Front-end Engineers — UI / web-app implementation - Back-end Engineers — APIs, infra, integrations - Data Scientists — ML, modeling, analytics at depth - Dedicated QA / Test Engineering — Deep test engineering at scale - Photo / Video Production — Full camera crew + editors — content, reels, brand film - Social Media Management — Social media managers — strategy, calendar, community - Paid Media / PR — Specialist brought in per engagement - HR Ops — Payroll / recruiting back-office at scale The core is me — I design it, build it, and run it. When a build outgrows one person I pull in a vetted bench (front-end and back-end engineers, data scientists, QA, camera crew and editors, social) — on call, not on payroll — so scope never caps the work. ## Consulting: Two ways in I've built operating systems for myself and for founders, paid and unpaid. Now it's productized. Start with a one-time audit for the map, or take a seat if you want a builder in the room. Capped at 3 concurrent seats — the honest number for actually being in your head. ### Founder Operating-System Audit — $1,500 (One-time engagement. Paid at kickoff.) Productized entry · 10 days. I audit your current systems and deliver a 10–20 page written playbook, closed with a 1-hour walkthrough. No retainer, no commitment beyond the engagement. Not the right fit after the kickoff call? Full refund, no questions. And if you move to a Seat, the audit fee is credited toward your Operator Seat engagement. - Current-state map (stack, workflows, surfaces) - Gap analysis (missing / redundant / broken) - 90-day roadmap: 3 priorities, ordered, with implementation guidance - Curated tool + template recommendations - 1-hr walkthrough + 30-min follow-up Q&A ### Second-Brain Operator Seat — Priced per project (Scoped per project — or an hourly retainer to hold a standing seat. Application + intro call required.) Project-based · 3 seats total. One of three concurrent seats. Pricing flexes to the engagement — a fixed per-project scope, or an hourly retainer to hold your seat month to month, whichever fits the work. Roughly 8–10 hrs/month — weekly sessions, async between, quarterly system iteration. Application + intro call required before we start. - Weekly working sessions (~60–90 min) - Capture, decision velocity, ops baseline - Financial visibility — cash flow, runway, sequencing - AI integration as multiplier, not substitute - Sustainable pace — an energy baseline for founders running hot - Slack/Notion async between sessions - Quarterly system iteration Audit fee credits toward your Operator Seat engagement. Need the website itself? Sites, from $2,000 (https://sukisong.com/sites). ## Who it's for - Indie SaaS and product builders — solo or two-person shops - Solo consultants and fractional execs running their own book - Creator-economy operators with revenue and operations to organize - Newly-funded founders pre-first-hire who need the system before the team - Builders working through volatility who want a builder who gets it, not a vendor Not for large teams (they need a fractional COO or CMO, not a second-brain operator) or big companies (they need McKinsey or Bain). Pure artists who want a website + brand go to Sites (https://sukisong.com/sites). ## How it works - Discovery — Intro call: fifteen minutes. We look at where the system is leaking and which engagement fits the moment. Not a fit? You leave with a clearer brief. - Start — Audit, or graduate to Seat: most founders start with the Audit — the cleanest way to see the full system without a retainer. If the work benefits from ongoing iteration, the Audit fee credits toward your Operator Seat engagement. - Operate — Working sessions + iteration: weekly working sessions. Async between. Quarterly step-back to iterate the whole system. ## Scope + capacity Three concurrent seats. When they fill, the page swaps to a waitlist. **1 of 3** — Operator Seats open **3 of 6** — Audit slots open Current availability: 1 of 3 seats open · 3 of 6 Audit slots open. Qualification. Solo or near-solo operator. Revenue or runway to invest in the system. You're the bottleneck — the work is the system around you. You'll actually use it, not just buy it. Application on the intro call. ## Common questions **Q: What's the difference between an Audit and a Seat?** The Audit is a map — one engagement, written deliverable, you implement. The Seat is a builder in the room — ongoing weekly sessions, we build and iterate together. Most founders start with the Audit; some never need the Seat. If you do graduate, the Audit fee credits toward your Operator Seat engagement. **Q: Is this coaching, consulting, or fractional work?** Fractional consulting with a builder bias. Not coaching — I'll tell you what to do, not ask you what you think. Not pure consulting either — I build alongside you, in your tools, with your data. Closest analogue: a fractional COO who specializes in the operating-system layer, not the people-management layer. **Q: Why capped at 3 seats?** Because the work compounds only if I'm actually in your head — not skimming your Notion at the top of each session. Three is the honest number for that. When seats fill, the next opens by waitlist; the price goes up when demand says so. **Q: How long does an Operator engagement run?** Each engagement is scoped to a project; most founders start another or graduate to a quarterly check-in once the system holds. No lock-in. ## Book the call Start with the call. Fifteen minutes. We look at where the operating system is leaking and whether the Audit or the Seat is the right entry. If neither fits, you leave with a clearer brief.
