HOW I
WORK.

Five stages, no deck-ware, no theater. Same approach whether it's a 2-week marketing site or a multi-month platform build.

01
LISTEN

A short unstructured call. I want to understand the actual problem before pitching a solution.

02
SCOPE

A short written brief — what we're shipping, what we're explicitly not shipping, where the risks are.

03
PROTOTYPE

Week one ends with a working spike or clickable prototype, not a deck. We pressure-test it together.

04
SHIP

I work in tight chunks and you see something real every week. Production deploys are uneventful by design.

05
HANDOFF

Documentation, repo access, a Loom walkthrough, and a stabilization window. Nothing surprises you after launch.

OFTEN
ASKED.

Two ends of the spectrum. The big end: long-running engagements with founders or ops leads building real software — months to years, often deeply integrated with the business. The small end: one-off marketing sites for small businesses and professionals, 2–4 weeks, ship and step away. Both work great. The murky middle is where engagements go sideways.
Sometimes — when it's additive to fair cash for the work. I won't do equity-only.
Yes — a sensible mutual one. Most of my work is private and that is genuinely fine.
My day job is Director of Engineering at JKR Windows, so most contract work runs on evenings and weekends. I'm always direct about scope and turnaround so nobody is surprised.
I can do credible product/UI design and ship a brand-aligned marketing site without help. I'm not a brand designer — for that, I have people I trust and will introduce.
Stack-pragmatic. My current default is SvelteKit + Tailwind + Laravel because it's boring, fast, and I've shipped a lot with it. I'll happily work in your stack instead — most stacks are fine if used responsibly.
" The best software disappears — it does the thing, returns the answer, and gets out of your way. Most of my career has been about closing the gap between intent and outcome by ten or twenty seconds at a time.
