Risk reduction, written down
How I work
Hiring a remote engineer is a risk decision. This page is how I de-risk it: a repeatable process where you see working software early, know what every milestone costs, and end up owning everything — code, docs, and the knowledge to run it.
Discovery
A free intro call to understand the problem, constraints, and what success looks like. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
- Problem statement we both sign off on
- Rough effort + risk estimate
- Go / no-go recommendation
Architecture proposal
A written plan before any code: system design, data model, trade-offs considered, and what's deliberately out of scope. You know exactly what you're buying.
- Architecture document with diagrams
- Milestone breakdown with dates
- Fixed quote per milestone
Milestone delivery
Working software in review-sized increments — deployed to a staging URL you can click, not screenshots. Every milestone ships with tests and CI from day one.
- Deployed, testable increment per milestone
- Automated test suite + CI pipeline
- Weekly async progress notes
Handover
The goal is that you don't need me — and choose to keep me anyway. Everything documented, your team walked through the system, no lock-in.
- Runbooks + deployment documentation
- Recorded walkthrough for your team
- 30 days of post-handover support
Standing principles
Async-first communication
Written updates you can read on your schedule; calls when they genuinely beat writing. Replies within 24 hours, usually much faster.
No surprises
Scope changes are discussed and re-quoted before work continues — never discovered on an invoice.
Production is the bar
Code isn't done when it runs; it's done when it's tested, observable, documented, and boring to operate.
Available for new projects — next slot August 2026.
Step 01 is free and takes 30 minutes.
