      <!-- Story -->
      <div class="mb-2" style="max-width: 46rem;">
        <p class="mb-3">Most of the API strategy I have seen is either a fifty-page document nobody reads or a vibe in an executive's head that changes every quarter. Neither one guides the people actually doing the work. Strategy should be short, honest, and legible to the engineers and the business folks who have to live inside it.</p>
        <p class="mb-3">I work with you on the high-level story of why your use of technology matters to the business &mdash; not technology for its own sake, but as the connective tissue between what the business needs and what your teams build. We write the strategy down, keep it small enough to be read, and revisit it as reality moves.</p>
        <p class="mb-3">The point is alignment: a strategy a developer and an executive can both point at and recognize the same thing. I bring sixteen years of watching which strategies survived contact with real operations and which ones were theater.</p>

        <h2 class="fs-6 fw-semibold mt-4 mb-2">What you walk away with</h2>
        <ul class="text-muted">
          <li>A documented, living technology and API strategy small enough to actually read</li>
          <li>Alignment between business and engineering on why the work matters</li>
          <li>A cadence for revisiting the strategy as the ground shifts</li>
        </ul>
