FAQ

  1. Why not hourly retainers?

    Monthly kills the haggle over minutes. You buy priority and depth; you get a predictable invoice. If we're overloaded, we bump to the next tier — clean math.

  2. What if the project stalls or is cancelled?

    Retainer: you pay for the month we worked, no penalty. Project: the 50% deposit is non-refundable; the rest is settled against what was actually delivered (I hand over the code freeze and artefacts).

  3. Do you work for free / on trial?

    The first 30 minutes are free — a sanity check to see if the problem is a fit. After that, it's paid work.

  4. Full-time / relocation?

    I'm full-time on GChat (self-employed). I consider full-time offers only if they come with a product stake or equity. Write directly — let's see.
