Okay, let’s tackle this. So Wesley has a solid skillset in software engineering, but his experience is not as extensive as some other professionals. He lacks a specific industry or company name, which makes it harder to estimate. However, based on the skills he has, such as design patterns, enterprise architecture, and solution architecture, I can look at industry benchmarks. Software engineers with similar skills in the Greater Seattle Area might charge around $100–$150 per hour. Considering Wesley’s skills and experience, I’ll estimate his hourly rate to be around $120.
