Good questions

What you're probably wondering

All questions →
What kinds of projects do you take on?

With over 20 years as a full-stack software engineer, I've had the pleasure of working on a really wide variety of projects. I specialize in designing, building, and operating complex web applications, often for businesses looking to streamline operations, launch new services, or scale their online presence. Think custom SaaS products, sophisticated internal tools, or even entirely new digital platforms.

My experience running my own SaaS product solo – which includes everything from billing and AI to a massive SEO system and a website builder – means I understand the full lifecycle of a product. So, whether you need a brand new system built from the ground up, or significant enhancements to an existing one, if it involves web software, data, or automation, it's likely a great fit for my expertise.

What makes you different from other developers or agencies?

I think what truly sets me apart is the depth and breadth of my experience – twenty years in this field really teaches you a lot. Many developers specialize in just one area, but I'm genuinely full-stack, capable of handling everything from initial design and architecture to front-end, back-end, deployment, and ongoing operations. My own SaaS product is a testament to this; I built and operate its entire stack, essentially delivering a whole product team's output as one person.

Beyond the technical skills, clients consistently tell me they appreciate my reliability and straightforward approach. I’m proud to be Top Rated Plus on Upwork with 100% Job Success and a 5.0 rating across my projects. That means I stick to deadlines (often finishing early!), communicate clearly without jargon, and remain available after launch to ensure everything runs smoothly. No hype, just honest, solid work.

How much do you charge?

My rate starts from $100 per hour. I offer flexibility in how we structure payment, whether that's billed hourly for ongoing work or a fixed-price for clearly defined projects. The exact cost for a project will depend on its scope, complexity, and specific requirements, but I always provide clear, transparent estimates upfront so there are no surprises.

When you hire me, you're not just getting a coder; you're getting two decades of experience and a track record of efficiency. My clients often comment on how quickly and effectively I get things done, which ultimately means better value for your investment. We’ll discuss everything in detail to find a pricing structure that makes sense for your budget and project goals.

Do I own the code and everything you build?

This is a fundamental principle of how I operate. Once the project is completed and paid for, all the code, designs, and any other intellectual property I create for you become 100% yours. You'll have full ownership and rights to everything.

This will be clearly stipulated in our contract, ensuring you have complete peace of mind. My aim is to empower you with robust, maintainable assets that you fully control, not to hold anything hostage. Your success and ownership are paramount.

What happens after launch — do you offer support and maintenance?

Launching your product is a big milestone, but it's not the end of our working relationship. I pride myself on staying available after launch to ensure everything continues to run smoothly. Whether it's a minor bug fix, a small adjustment, or just answering a question, I'm here to help.

We can discuss ongoing support options that best fit your needs, from ad-hoc hourly assistance for occasional tweaks to more structured maintenance plans. My goal is to foster a long-term partnership, ensuring your product remains robust, secure, and evolves as your business grows.

I'm not technical — can you still work with me?

Yes, absolutely! In fact, many of my most successful client relationships are with individuals who aren't technical. My job isn't just to write code; it's to understand your business goals and translate them into effective software solutions. I pride myself on communicating in plain language, avoiding jargon, and ensuring you fully understand what we're building and why.

My focus is on making the technical process accessible and transparent for you. You don't need to understand the intricacies of code; you just need to tell me what you want to achieve, and I'll handle the rest. We'll work together to define requirements, review progress, and ensure the final product perfectly meets your vision without requiring you to become a developer.
