Eight years shipping software for paying customers. Ex-tech-lead, ex-team-of-eight, now solo on purpose.
Years here are time spent shipping production code, not time installed in package.json.
You email me. I email you. No account managers, no project portals, no waiting.
Anything bigger is a research task with its own estimate. No 'about a month' line items.
If we can't agree on what 'done' looks like before we start, we're not starting.
Daily updates in writing. Calls only when the writing isn't enough.
Excitement is a smell. Boring choices ship and survive.
Runbooks, ADRs, and a clean handover. The goal is for you to not need me.
