How engagements work
A simple, predictable path from first call to handover.
- Discovery call A free 30-minute call to understand your goals, constraints, and what success looks like.
- Scope & proposal You get a written scope with deliverables, a timeline, and a fixed price. No surprises, no scope creep.
- Delivery We work in short cycles with regular check-ins, so you see real progress as it happens.
- Handoff & support Code, docs, and knowledge transfer — plus optional ongoing support when you need it.
Common questions
Do you work with startups or only enterprises?
Both. Most of my work is with startups scaling past an MVP, but I regularly take on enterprise engagements for AI, modernization, and performance work.
How are engagements priced?
Every engagement is scoped and quoted individually based on complexity, timeline, and requirements. You always get a written proposal with a fixed price before any work begins.
Do you work alongside my existing team?
Usually, yes — that's the point. I can lead, review, mentor, or just be the senior engineer your team is missing, working inside your existing stack and workflow.
What happens when the engagement ends?
You own everything we build. Delivery includes documentation and a proper handover, and most clients keep me on a lighter retainer or move to a fractional arrangement.
Not sure which engagement fits?
Book a free 30-minute call and we'll figure it out together. No pitch, no pressure — just a straight answer on whether and how I can help.
