# Introductory Consultation | Bakri Consulting with Salim Bakri

> A focused, 30-minute introductory call to discuss what you’re building, explore your technical goals or hurdles, and see if there’s a strong fit for collaboration. What we'll cover: Your current project stage, architecture, or engineering challenge (AI integration, cloud scale, full-stack build, or advisory). Potential approaches, timelines, and engagement models (discovery sprint, fixed scope, embedded engineer, or advisory). Clear next steps—you’ll leave with actionable clarity even if we don't end up working together. Led hands-on by Salim Bakri, Principal & AI Solution Architect.
