Tech Debt Elimination by Matt Pulver|

You're not stupid. You know something is wrong. Projects drag, costs balloon, and when you ask why, you get jargon or silence. I've spent 25 years in government, healthcare, finance, and real estate finding what's buried and translating it into decisions you can actually make.

Independent Technical Oversight

I'm not here to join your team. I'm here to watch it. External accountability with no internal politics. No vendor bias - I don't sell software or take kickbacks. My only incentive is the truth.

I translate technical decisions into business impact. Most technology problems are really P&L problems in disguise - hidden costs, compounding inefficiencies, decisions nobody traced back to dollars. I trace them.

I've walked into companies and found millions sunk into products that will never ship. Six-figure annual burn hiding in plain sight. 30% of software spend wasted on licenses nobody uses. The pattern is always the same: nobody connected the technical decisions to the balance sheet.

Plain English, Hard Truths

If I can't explain it clearly, I don't understand it well enough. Technical jargon is often a mask for unclear thinking - or worse, a wall to hide behind. I'll tell you what your team won't. Not to undermine them, but because you need to know. You can't fix what you can't see.

25 Years Across Four Industries

Developer, architect, team lead, executive. Government, healthcare, finance, real estate. I've shipped products, inherited disasters, and cleaned up messes at every level. Turned a fax-and-file operation into a digital system that handled 100x the workload on the same headcount.

The common thread in every broken system: good intentions, small compromises, and nobody watching the long game. Technical debt doesn't announce itself. It compounds silently until your infrastructure is held together by hope and a contractor who left three years ago.

How I Work

  • Retainer or project-based - no bloated contracts
  • Direct access to me - no account managers, no gatekeepers
  • Ongoing oversight, not drive-by audits
  • Recommendations I've used myself, not theory
  • I stay until the problem is actually solved
