Software, built and shipped.
I take on one-off, contract builds for individuals and businesses — scoped, quoted, and delivered as working software. No retainers, no agency layers, no open-ended hourly. Just the thing you need, done.
Fixed scope. Fixed price. You own the code from day one.
The work, scoped as one clean deliverable.
Whatever the shape of the problem, the deal is the same: we agree on what "done" means up front, and I ship it.
Web apps & MVPs
From a first working product to a polished app — front to back, deployed and live.
Automation & integrations
Connect the tools you already use and delete the manual, repetitive busywork.
Internal tools & dashboards
Admin panels, reporting, and dashboards that give you a real handle on the data.
APIs & data pipelines
Clean APIs and reliable pipelines that move and transform data without surprises.
Scripts & one-off fixes
A focused job done right: a migration, a scraper, a script, a stubborn bug.
Rescue & finishing
Inherited a half-built or stalled project? I'll get it across the finish line.
A short path from "I need this" to "it's live."
No discovery theater or endless meetings. Four steps, clear at every stage.
Scope call
A focused conversation about what you need and what success looks like.
Fixed quote
A written scope with a fixed price and timeline. No hourly meter running.
Build & ship
I build it with regular check-ins, then deploy it to where it needs to live.
Handoff
You get the code, the keys, and a clean handover. It's yours, fully.
Built to be the low-drama option.
The way contract software should work when one person owns the outcome.
You talk to the builder
No account managers or handoffs. The person scoping it is the person writing it.
Fixed scope, fixed price
You know the cost before work starts. Scope changes are an explicit decision, not a surprise invoice.
Shipped, not just coded
"Done" means deployed and working in the real world — not a repo you have to figure out.
You own everything
Full source, accounts, and documentation handed over. No lock-in, no dependency on me.
Straight communication
Plain updates on progress and trade-offs. If something's a bad idea, I'll say so.
Right-sized for you
Engagements that make sense for individuals and small businesses, not enterprise budgets.
Have something you need built?
Tell me what you're trying to do. I'll come back with whether I can help, a scope, and a fixed price — usually within a day.
