19+ years designing systems at AWS, Capital One, Palantir, and others. Now I help senior engineers build their first fixed-fee consulting offer.
Hi, I'm Aurobinda Mondal.
I help senior engineers build their first fixed-fee consulting offer while employed.
After 19+ years in AI and Cloud Engineering, I've learned that the same systems thinking that powers large-scale architectures can also power personal freedom.
Throughout my career, I've designed platforms for organisations like AWS Professional Services, Capital One, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citi Bank, Sallie Mae, Broadridge, CMS, Freedom Mortgage, Palantir and Mastercard. I've built systems that process millions of transactions securely and efficiently, led engineering teams, modernised legacy ecosystems, and delivered cloud-native solutions that cut costs, improved reliability, and scaled globally.
Today, I split my time between advanced cloud engineering and helping professionals apply the same principles of architecture, automation, and scalability to their own careers. Through structured coaching and my newsletter The Monday Liberation, I teach engineers how to turn their expertise into fixed-fee consulting offers that don't require trading more hours for more money.
Why I built the Fixed-Fee Launch
You know you could consult. You don't know what to sell, who to ask, or how to price it, and you need to stay within your employment obligations while you explore it.
Most senior engineers also picture consulting as vendor contracting: hourly, one client, someone else's terms. That isn't the model I teach. Here you sell directly to a client, at a fixed fee, for an outcome you own, built alongside the job you already have.
My own first engagement started with one email to a former colleague. It became an $8K engagement while I was still employed. The Fixed-Fee Launch is that process in a fixed order: Prove, Package, Pitch, Paper, with an employment check with your own lawyer before any outreach.
