Services

Technical Advisory

Ongoing, independent technical judgment without adding a full-time role. Advisory can cover architecture review, technical strategy, and tooling decisions, and support for founders and engineering leads on hiring, team structure, and process.

Consulting

Scoped help for technical strategy, system design, planning, delivery risks, and architecture decisions. Consulting engagements focus on clear recommendations that teams can act on.

Engineering

Hands-on implementation alongside your team when the work needs senior engineering capacity: building or reworking backend and platform systems, migrations, and observability.

How engagements work

Start with an email

Send a short note about the problem, the decision in front of you, or the system involved, and any timing that matters.

Talk it through

A first conversation to understand the context and whether Chaba is the right fit.

Start with a trial

Work begins as a trial, billed hourly. From there it can continue hourly or move to a retainer.

Who you'll work with

Chaba is run by Darwin Wu: formerly CTO at oVice and tech lead at Inngest, with engineering roots at Cloudflare and New Relic. Engagements run in English or Japanese, with teams in the United States and Japan. More about Chaba.
