Consulting

Mobile payments architecture audit.

A focused, two-week engagement for consumer Android apps with >100K MAU. I find the cracks in your subscription stack before your users do.

Who this is for

What you get

  1. Architecture review. I read your billing-related code, your subscription state machine, your receipt-verification flow, and the surrounding observability. I look at it with the same lens I use on a billion-install consumer Android app serving 95M+ monthly active users — where a Play Billing change reaches an enormous audience the moment it ships.
  2. Findings report. A written document organized by severity (P0/P1/P2), each finding with: the issue, the user-visible impact, the revenue/stability risk, and a concrete remediation. Nothing vague.
  3. Readout call. A 90-minute video call with your engineering & product leadership to walk through findings, prioritize, and answer questions live.
  4. 30 days of async follow-up. As your team starts the remediation work, you can email me questions or share a PR for spot review. No new meetings, just unblocking.

Scope & pricing

Pricing is intentionally bespoke — complexity varies. I’ll give you a fixed number after a 20-minute scoping call.

Why me

I work on the in-app payments stack of a billion-install consumer Android app serving 95M+ monthly active users. My day job is subscription state machines, Google Play Billing integration, revenue observability, and the failure modes that only surface at very large scale. I’ve designed and shipped cross-product subscription upgrade / downgrade / cross-grade systems, along with the rollout and rollback discipline that keeps them stable in production.

What I bring isn’t generic mobile architecture advice. It’s a specific lens on subscription state machines, revenue observability, and the failure modes that show up at billion-install scale.

Get in touch

Tell me a bit about your app (MAU, what flavor of subscription complexity, any recent incidents), and I’ll come back with a 20-minute scoping-call slot.
