Trying to answer those questions? Need expert judgement to come to a conclusion? I can help you investigate and answer them.
How:
You tell me what you're trying to achieve, I tell you if it's a good fit for me, and how long it will take.
After agreement, I research the problem and present my findings to you.
Timeline:
Depends on the research scope.
The problems I've researched on typically took anywhere from 1 week to 3 months. Rarely did they take 6 months.
Create prototypes
Need a mockup for presentation?
Want a prototype to test an idea?
Need to build a proof-of-concept for demo purposes?
A prototype is a valuable learning and communication tool before capital investment.
I can help you, your partners or investors envision the final product.
Expect nothing production-worthy from it though.
How:
You tell me your idea. I ask you questions.
After agreement, I proceed to build that proof-of-concept for you.
Timeline:
Depends on the originality and complexity of the idea, and the level of detail required.
Most prototypes I've created took 1 week to 2 months to finish.
Build products
&
websites
Want to bring your business online?
Want to build a SaaS platform for your startup?
Need custom software for your business?
Want your software to be easier to use?
You've come at the right place.
I help you build a whole new product and website, or tune up your existing one.
How:
You tell me your product idea, or give me a tour of the existing product (if you have one).
I ask you questions. We discuss further.
After agreement, my team and I start building your product.
Timeline:
Depends on the scope of work.
Revamping an existing product is often faster than building new, but it's not always the case.
Add
features
capabilities
Add custom metrics to a dashboard?
Add features to your SaaS product?
Fix that bug which has been haunting your product for months?
Or, tune up the performance of your site?
I can help you extend, improve and maintain your existing product.
As long as you have the right to modify and publish the software.
I focus on C, C++, Python, Ruby, Javascript, HTML & CSS.
How:
You tell me your need, give me a tour of your existing product.
I ask you questions. We discuss further.
After agreement, my team and I start working on your requested feature.
Timeline:
Depends on the size of the existing codebase, how difficult it is to set up, and the scope of work.
I typically work on features that take anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months to build with high quality.
De-slopAI
Need to assess code quality of an AI-generated product?
Need suggestions to best leverage AI in your product and engineering?
Fix issues that AI gave up?
Improve overall quality to a new level?
AI products have pros and cons.
I help you improve the pros, reduce the cons.
Reducing risk.
Improving quality of AI-generated software.
How:
You give me a tour of your product, tell me your needs. I clarify them, do a quick check on the product and its codebase.
After agreement, I start improving the quality of your product.
Timeline:
Depends on the size and complexity of the codebase.
AI-generated codebase can be big and convoluted, so it typically takes me from 2 weeks for small codebases (less than 5000 lines of code) to 3 months for medium ones.
Consultant
Is your software team working well?
Are messages getting lost, upstream and downstream?
Are things falling apart after so much time to build?
I help you buff your team to work better and release more smoothly.
How:
You tell me about the problem with your team.
I tell you my thoughts and the way I'll debug it.
After agreement, you add me to your team so I can observe, identify the patterns, and suggest changes from coding practices to work processes.
At the end of each release cycle, you and I review the performance of the team, take note of further improvements, and execute them.
Timeline:
Depends on the size and structure of the team.
I typically work with teams fewer than 60 members (including teams of one) on projects lasting between 3 and 6 months.
