What I Can Do for You
You reached this page because we connected. If you're a CTO or technical leader carrying delivery problems that keep you up at night, here is a direct overview of what I can help with — and what I don't do.
Nothing here is theoretical. Every area below comes from decades of hands-on work with teams that were stuck, and the specific ways I've helped them get unstuck.
Delivery Visibility
When you ask "when will it be done?" and nobody has a real answer. When dashboards show green but releases slip. When you have no idea what's actually blocking your teams.
Technical Debt That Slows Delivery
Every feature takes longer than it should. Simple changes require touching five modules. Developers say "we need to refactor" but can't explain when or how much it'll help.
Embedded Delivery Support
Hands-on help inside your team — not another layer of consultancy. I work with your developers on real technical problems, ship features, and transfer capability through shared work.
AI Adoption Without Losing Quality
AI changed the economics of development. It didn't remove the need for technical judgment. Teams that adopt AI without stronger discipline end up generating a larger mess faster.
Team Capability & Culture
When talented teams struggle, the problem isn't capability — it's invisible technical friction. Process changes don't teach test design. More supervision doesn't teach refactoring.
Governance & Decision-Making
When important technical decisions keep dragging, when you need a reliable way to surface capability gaps, or when you want to govern legacy modernization without freezing delivery.
A Personal Note
I'm Stephan Schwab. I've been programming since 1981 and have worked with teams across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. I founded Caimito because I saw the same pattern over and over: good people trapped in bad systems producing bad outcomes.
The only thing that helps is improving the system by improving how the work is done. Not through frameworks, not through process overlays, but through hands-on work that makes delivery better from the inside.
What I offer is not generic software consultancy. I don't do assessments, maturity models, slide decks, or staff augmentation. I embed with teams, work on real technical problems alongside developers, and transfer capability through shared delivery work.
If any of the areas above resonate, the next step is simple: a direct conversation about your reality. No pitch. No ceremony. Just a practical discussion about whether and how we can help.
How We'd Work Together
If we decide to explore working together, here's what the engagement looks like:
Conversation
We talk about your delivery reality, what's keeping you up at night, and whether I can actually help.
Baseline or Trial
Navigator Baseline
A 4-week baseline that captures real data on blockers, delays, and friction patterns across your delivery work.
3-Day AI Class Trial
Bring me in for the AI-Assisted Development class as a practical trial and see how I work with your team in real time.
Both paths give us enough signal to decide what is worth tackling next.
Either starting path leads into the same focused engagement
Scope
Based on the Navigator evidence or what we learn working together in the class, we define what to target first and what success looks like.
Embed & Fix
I join your team, ship features, refactor high-friction code, and transfer capability through pairing.
Transfer
As your team gains confidence, I taper involvement. Navigator confirms improvements stick.
