Is the call free?
Yes, fifteen minutes. It's there to work out whether it makes sense to work together, not to sell you anything.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, and I'll tell you on the call once I understand the project — not before. I don't have prices on the site because a number without context helps neither of us.
Do you work by the hour?
No. I work per project, with clear goals and a price agreed before we start. No surprises on the invoice.
How long does it take?
One defined thing is measured in days or weeks, an entire product in months. You get the estimate after the call, in writing, and if I'm about to overrun you'll know before I do.
Where do you work from? What about time zones?
Remotely, and from different places. I always reply quickly when we're inside a project.
Is the code mine?
Yes, all of it: repository, credentials, access. I don't hand over a zip file and I don't hold anything hostage.
Can't I just do it with AI?
To get to a first version, often yes, and I use it every day myself. The real work starts after that: connecting it to systems that don't behave the way they should, fixing it when it stops working on a Friday night, changing it without breaking what was already there. Two of my clients came to me exactly that way, with something they had built themselves that now needs somebody to keep it running.
What happens after the call?
If it makes sense to work together, I'll send you a written proposal with what we're building, what it costs and when we start. If it doesn't, I'll tell you — and I'll tell you why.
