Pricing

I pride myself in accommodating all clients based on their individual needs.


💼 Consulting Rates & Engagement Options

I welcome the opportunity to discuss any storage, Linux, or data-recovery challenge you’re facing. Every environment is unique, and I tailor my work to the specific needs of each customer.

⏱️ Hourly Consulting

Standard Rate: $200/hr

Ideal for general troubleshooting, advisory sessions, and deep-technical engineering work.

📦 Project-Based Pricing

Project-based work is available when the scope is complex, multi-stage, or requires extended investigation. Typical use cases include:

  • RAID or filesystem recovery (RAID 6 / 6+2, NVMe, SAS, SATA)
  • Complex multi-drive or metadata-level recoveries
  • NVMe/PCIe investigation or intermittent system behavior analysis
  • Kernel-level troubleshooting or storage performance deep dives
  • Custom tooling, automation, or log-analysis utilities
  • Architecture reviews and systems-level remediation plans

Project pricing provides predictable cost structure and clearly defined deliverables.

⚙️ Customized Services

Every scenario is different. My approach is tailored based on:

  • Technical complexity
  • Scope and expected duration
  • Urgency or data-at-risk conditions
  • Required depth of engineering analysis

Before any engagement begins, I provide a transparent overview of the expected time, effort, and outcomes.
