How we work together

No magic method, no framework to sell. Four clear steps, concrete deliverables at each one, price locked before we start.

01

Discovery

30 to 60 minutes to understand the need and say yes or no.

Discovery is not a disguised sales call. In 45 minutes, we figure out whether your project makes sense, whether I am the right person, and what actually needs to be estimated. I ask direct questions about context, constraints, data, expectations. If I can see you are about to waste time or money, I say so. If it is not in my wheelhouse, I point you to someone more qualified. Either way you leave with a clear view of a possible scope and next steps, even if we never work together.

02

Scope and quote

A short document that nails deliverable, price and milestones.

After discovery, I write a scope document: precise perimeter, explicit out-of-scope, weekly milestones, acceptance criteria, price. Fixed price for well-scoped projects, T&M with a ceiling for fuzzy contexts. You get the document in 2 to 5 business days. No layered quotes, no hidden fees, no clauses designed to bail out. If the budget does not fit, we resize the scope together rather than launching something destined to slip.

03

Iterative build

Weekly demos, reviewable code, tests, CI from day one.

We work in short cycles, one demo per week. You see the product grow for real, not just a Gantt chart. Code sits on your repo from day one, readable, tested on critical paths, with a CI that runs. You can review it, have it audited, or take it back at any time. I am reachable async on Slack or Linear, synchronous when things get stuck. Key decisions are written down. No black box, no hidden debt dressed up for the demo.

04

Handoff

Docs, walkthrough, training, 30 days of support included.

Shipping is not abandonment. At the end you get short, useful technical docs, a runbook for incidents, and a handoff video if the team wants one. I train your tech lead on the tricky parts. For the 30 days after delivery, I fix any delivery-related bugs without billing. After that, if you want ongoing support or new features, we write a fresh scope. Goal: your team stays autonomous, not dependent on me.
