HOW I WORK
Built to ship, not to bill.
I work the way I'd want a senior engineer to work for me: tight scope, weekly delivery, no surprises.
Direct contact
You talk to the engineer building it. No project managers, no account reps, no handoffs.
Tight scope
Every engagement starts with a written proposal. Scope, milestones, price - agreed up front.
Weekly delivery
Working code every week. Async updates, public repo, no long silences.
Honest estimates
If something will slip, you hear it early. Never the day before a deadline.
Yours to keep
Clean code, clear docs, full handoff. Your team can extend it after I'm gone.
ENGAGEMENT TIERS
Three ways to work together.
Pick the engagement that fits your scope and timeline. Every option starts with a 30-minute call and a written proposal.
Sprint
One scoped deliverable, shipped in five working days. A low-risk way to see how we work before a bigger engagement.
What's included
- 30-min scoping call + written brief
- One focused deliverable | rebuild, audit, or integration
- Daily progress updates
- Production-ready code, fully documented
- 14 days of post-ship fixes included
Build
End-to-end product or feature work. You bring the problem | I scope it, ship it, and hand it off with docs your team can extend.
What's included
- Discovery, technical scoping, written proposal
- Milestone-based payments | no large upfront
- Weekly demo + written status update
- Production code with architecture docs
- Handoff session for your team
- 30 days of post-launch support
Embed
Twenty hours a week of senior engineering, embedded with your team like a part-time hire | without the overhead.
What's included
- 20 hours/week of senior engineering
- Daily stand-ups with your team
- Code reviews and architecture input
- Flexible scope as priorities shift
- Direct Slack + GitHub access
Month-to-month engagement. Pause or cancel anytime | no hidden terms, no friction.
Walk through your project together before committing. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so.
OUR PROCESS
From first call to shipped code.
Every engagement follows the same four steps. No surprises, no scope creep.
Quick call
30 minutes to talk through your project. No pitch.
Clear proposal
Scope, timeline, and fixed price | in your inbox within 24 hours.
I build
Daily updates, weekly demos. You see progress every step.
You ship
Production-ready code, docs, and 30 days of free fixes.
How quickly can you start?
Sprints can usually start within a week. Builds and Embeds depend on current capacity | book a call and I'll tell you straight.
What's your tech stack?
TypeScript end-to-end. React/Next.js on the frontend, Node/Postgres on the backend. Comfortable picking up the right tool for the job | Rust, Go, Solidity when the work calls for it.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Happy to sign before any detailed conversation. I have a standard mutual NDA ready, or I'll sign yours.
What if it isn't a fit after we start?
First week of any engagement comes with a 75% refund | no questions, no awkward conversations. The intro call is also free and exists specifically to catch fit issues before money changes hands.
Can you work with my existing team?
Yes | that's exactly what Embed is built for. I join your stand-ups, code reviews, and Slack. For Sprints and Builds I work async with weekly demos, but I'm happy to drop into your team's rhythm if that's easier.
How do payments work?
Sprints: 50% upfront, 50% on delivery. Builds: per milestone, signed off before the next phase starts. Embeds: monthly in advance. Wire (SWIFT), Wise or Crypto.
