Need Something Different?

Every business has unique technical challenges. If your needs don't fit a standard service above, let's discuss a custom engagement.

I'll work with you to define scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing that fits your situation. All pricing is negotiable based on the work required.

Common Questions

Q: How is pricing determined?

A: Pricing is based on the scope and amount of work requested. All pricing is negotiable and will be discussed during our initial consultation. I work with clients to find pricing that fits their budget and needs.

Q: Do you work with my tech stack?

A: I specialize in AWS, Python, JavaScript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, and most modern development stacks. I'm technology-agnostic and comfortable learning what's needed. If you're using something unusual, let's discussβ€”I've worked with everything from cutting-edge AI frameworks to legacy mainframe systems and love to learn new systems and custom solutions for my customers' needs.

Q: Can you start immediately?

A: It depends on current project commitments. Typical lead time is 1-2 weeks for new engagements. Emergency incident response can often be prioritized within 24 hours. Retainer clients get immediate priority access.

Q: What if the scope changes mid-project?

A: We'll establish clear milestones and check-ins. If scope changes, we handle it through a transparent change order processβ€”you'll always know what you're paying for and why. No surprise bills.

Q: Do you sign NDAs and work under contract?

A: Absolutely. Your security concerns and business details stay confidential. I'll sign your NDA or we can use mine. All work is done under a clear contract with defined scope, deliverables, and terms.

Q: Do you work onsite or remote?

A: Primarily remote, which keeps costs down for you. I'm based in Arlington, VA and can meet onsite for initial kickoffs or critical sessions if you're in the DC/Northern Virginia area.

Q: What if we're not a good fit?

A: I'll tell you honestly in our first conversation. If I'm not the right person for your needs, I'll likely know someone who is and can make a referral.

Q: Do you have experience with [specific compliance standard]?

A: I've worked extensively with SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements, particularly at Amazon where compliance was critical. If you need specialized expertise in CMMC, PCI-DSS, or other frameworks, I can advise or bring in a specialist partner.

Q: What happens after the project ends?

A: Every engagement includes a support period (typically 2-4 weeks) for questions and minor adjustments. After that, you own all deliverables and documentation. Many clients convert to retainers for ongoing support or run on their own with the documentation I provide.

Q: How do you communicate progress?

A: Weekly status updates minimum, plus async updates via Slack/email as needed. For longer engagements, bi-weekly check-in calls. You'll always know what's been done, what's next, and if there are any blockers.
