What I Do
Rhei Solutions sits at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure. The best systems are built by people who understand both. Whether your team needs cleaner APIs, better architecture, a more resilient cloud platform, or someone to help a developer finally understand why patterns matter, this is the work.
API design and development, software architecture, design patterns, and code quality consulting. Grounded in real engineering practice, the kind stress-tested by production systems and tight deadlines, not just documented in theory.
Cloud and DevOps consulting for teams running on AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform. The infrastructure knowledge came from needing to understand what happened after the code shipped. That full-stack perspective shapes every engagement.
Structured, one-on-one mentorship for developers, career changers, and junior engineers. Built on the belief that the best teaching happens when someone who has done the work sits beside you and helps you understand it.
Focused sessions paced around you: web development, software design patterns, APIs, or cloud concepts. For career changers, bootcamp grads who got lost, and anyone who needs it explained one more time, differently.
About Rhei Solutions
Rhei Solutions grew out of a software engineering foundation: writing APIs, designing systems, learning why certain patterns exist by watching what breaks without them. The infrastructure expertise came later, from needing to understand what happened after the code shipped.
The name comes from the ancient Greek panta rhei — everything flows. It felt right.
That full-stack perspective, from application layer to cloud primitives, shapes every engagement. And running alongside all of it has been years of informal mentorship: developers, career changers, and people from underrepresented communities in tech who needed someone to sit with them until the concept clicked.
Non-linear paths welcome. The best engineers don't always come from CS programs, and the best explanations don't always come from textbooks.
Direct and honest. No vague recommendations, no upselling complexity. Just clear, actionable guidance grounded in what works.
The click matters. The moment when it all makes sense. That's what this work is for.
Anyone can repeat what they know. Teaching is finding the version that lands.
Rhei Solutions — Founding Principle
Veteran. Immigrant. Queer.
Three things that have nothing to do with software engineering, and everything to do with how I approach it.
I spent six years in the United States Navy before I ever wrote a line of production code. I learned to lead people who outranked me, to teach under pressure, and to figure things out fast because the alternative wasn't an option. See one, do one, teach one. I have never stopped operating that way.
I knew what I wanted when I got out. I immigrated for love and built a life in a new country from the ground up. Every challenge since has been a problem waiting to be solved.
The path into software was self-directed and non-linear, the way most real things are. A diploma, a lot of late nights, and a first job that handed me a team of junior developers and a flagship product to build. I was terrified. We shipped two months ahead of schedule.
The infrastructure came from needing to understand what happened after the code shipped. Every tool, every concept, every piece of IaC I know came from that same refusal to stop at the edge of what I already understood.
I came out as a trans woman in my mid-to-late thirties, ten years into my marriage, with most of this career already behind me. I know what it is to do serious work while carrying something unresolved. If you are queer and looking for a mentor who understands that from the inside, my door is open.
Rhei Solutions exists because good work and good teaching come from the same place. Genuine curiosity. The refusal to be stopped by what you don't know yet.
For teams that need a senior engineering perspective on how their software is designed, structured, and built. Whether it's an API that's getting unwieldy, a codebase with no clear patterns, or a greenfield project that needs a solid foundation, this is the work that happens before infrastructure even enters the conversation.
For startups and scaling teams that need senior-level infrastructure expertise without the full-time hire. The software background means infrastructure recommendations are never made in isolation. They're grounded in how the systems running on top of them behave.
Structured mentorship packages for developers who want to grow intentionally, not just accumulate years of experience. Sessions are built around your real goals, your real job, and the gaps that are holding you back.
One-on-one sessions for individuals learning at their own pace. Ideal for career changers, bootcamp graduates who got a bit lost, or anyone who just needs someone to explain it one more time, differently.
