How I work
I’ll explain the tradeoffs in plain language rather than in jargon, and I’ll tell you early if I think something is a bad idea. You’re working with me directly the whole time, so there’s never a point where the person you talked to hands the project to somebody you haven’t met. And the code is yours — you own what I build for you.
Get in touch
If there’s something your team is doing by hand that you’d rather not be, send me an email and tell me about it. I’m also on LinkedIn.
