How I can help

    I build and guide development teams: giving everyone a clear role, helping newer developers grow and setting simple routines so work is delivered when promised.

  • Building your product

    I build the whole thing, from the screens people use to the systems behind them, and make sure it stays fast. For a busy property website I cut loading times and kept it running smoothly under heavy traffic.

Questions clients ask before we start

What kind of work do you take on?

I build software and lead the teams that make it, from brand-new products to improving the systems you already have. Most of my clients are in healthcare, pharma and finance, but I work with any business that needs one experienced person to own a project from plan to launch. I shape the work around your goals.

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. Describe the problem in your own words and I will translate it into a plan. If you are curious, I mostly build with Python, Node.js and PostgreSQL on AWS or Google Cloud, but I choose tools based on your goals, not personal preference.

How involved will I be during the project?

As involved as you want to be. I work in short, open cycles with regular demos and updates, so you always know where things stand.

Can you work with my existing team or software?

Yes. I have led development teams for years, so joining an existing setup is familiar ground. I can review what is already there, fit into the way you work or take the lead on delivery, whatever the situation needs.

How long does a typical project take?

It depends on what you need. After we have talked it through, I give you an honest estimate up front. Small projects can take a few weeks; larger ones are planned in milestones so you see progress early.

Have a project in mind?

Tell me what you want to fix or build, in your own words. You don't need a technical brief.
