03 / How I work

One engineer.
No agency drag.

  1. 01

    Fixed scope

    We agree in writing what gets built before I start. No open-ended hours, no surprise invoices.

  2. 02

    Weekly working demos

    Every week you click through working software, not a status report. If something is off, we catch it in days.

  3. 03

    AI-native, human-checked

    I build with Claude Code, MCP and GPT every day. That is where the speed comes from. I review and test every line before you see it.

  4. 04

    You own everything

    Your repo, your accounts, your hosting from day one. A handover doc means any developer can carry on without me.
