Joe signed a $19K fixed-fee first phase 7 to 8 weeks into an earlier version of this program. Read his story. Gross contract value, not a guaranteed result.

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.
