## What I do

Expert technical consultancy for web design, cloud migrations, and code optimization. Engagements are built around the client's actual constraints rather than a generic playbook.

- Understanding unique challenges: every business has different technical needs. Work starts by learning those constraints so the solution fits.
- Cloud solutions: rock-solid infrastructure that scales, with a focus on uptime and cost-effectiveness.
- Code quality: reviewed, tested, and optimized software rather than throwaway delivery.
- Long-term partnership: technical co-pilot through modern software development, not a one-off vendor.

## Frequently asked questions

### What services do you offer?

I provide technical consultancy services including web development, cloud migrations, software architecture design, and technical reviews. My expertise spans modern web technologies, cloud platforms, and enterprise software solutions.

### How do you approach new projects?

Each project begins with a thorough consultation to understand your business needs, technical requirements, and goals. I then develop a detailed roadmap, incorporating best practices and modern technologies to deliver scalable, maintainable solutions.

### Do you work with startups?

Yes, I work with businesses of all sizes, from startups to established enterprises. I can help you build your MVP, scale your infrastructure, or optimize your existing systems.

### What technologies do you specialize in?

I specialize in modern web technologies including React, Next.js, and Node.js, cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and [Northflank](https://northflank.com), and various other tools and frameworks depending on project requirements.

### When do you actually work?

I work evenings and early mornings, and I only take a small number of clients at a time. If you're comfortable with a moonlighter, we can probably work together. Replies typically arrive within 1-2 working days. If you need someone in Slack from nine to five, this is not the right fit.

### What if you can't do it?

If the work sits outside what I can take on, I won't just leave you hanging. I may be able to introduce you to someone else who can help.
