# PASKo Solutions > Freelance software engineering and consulting by Samkit Jain: AWS, backend, security and compliance. 10+ years across domains; remote from India. Website: https://paskosolutions.com/ Email: officialpaskosolutions@gmail.com Proprietor: Samkit Jain Location: India · remote ## Summary You need senior judgment from someone who has seen this before. PASKo Solutions provides freelance, consulting and contract software work, built on ten years across many domains. ## Scope by client type ### For a startup: build it, and lead it, hands-on. Architecture decisions made by someone who has lived with their consequences, and the code written by the same person. - System architecture - Production code - Technical direction - Hiring support ### For a team: senior capacity, productive in week one. A contractor who has seen many codebases and domains, so ramp-up is short and the backlog starts moving. - Feature delivery - Code review - Refactoring - Mentoring ### For a founder: from idea to a working product. A technical partner who turns the business idea into scope, picks the stack, and builds the first version. - Scoping - Stack choice - MVP build - Launch ## Relevant experience: Range, with a through-line. Across multiple companies and domains, and in roles well beyond writing code. The through-line is judgment: knowing what to build, what to skip, and what will hurt in a year. | Domain | Roles | Years | |---|---|---| | Security & compliance | Head of security, consultant | 2022–2026 | | Healthcare | Principal engineer, backend developer, consultant | 2021–2024 | | Food & beverage | Solutions architect, consultant | 2022–2024 | | Fintech | Backend engineer, team lead, consultant | 2017–2024 | Roles held: Backend engineer, Principal engineer, Solutions architect, Head of security, Consultant.
