What I sell

Fixed scope. Fixed price.

No hourly billing, no open-ended retainers. You buy a defined outcome, you know the number before I start, and you get tests that prove it works.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

01

You send the brief

Use the quote tool above, or just write me. I need the problem, not a specification — writing the specification is part of what you’re paying for.

02

Twenty-minute call

I confirm the scope and either lock the price or tell you it’s wrong. Roughly one in four projects turns out to be smaller than the client assumed, and I’d rather say that up front than discover it in week two.

03

50% to start

Work begins. You get repository access from day one and can watch the commits — no black box, no weekly status theatre.

04

Delivery, then the balance

Code, tests, and a short written handover explaining what I did and what to watch. Revisions included as quoted. You pay the rest when it’s working.
