Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about my services, expertise, and how we can work together.
Services & Process
What services do you offer?
I offer four core services: IT Systems Consulting (helping organizations elevate their technology infrastructure), Full-Stack Development (end-to-end software development from concept to deployment), Technical Project Leadership (bridging business objectives with technical execution), and Startup & Entrepreneur Consulting (your one-stop shop from MVP to market launch).
How do you typically engage with clients?
Every engagement starts with a free consultation to understand your challenges, goals, and current technology landscape. I use this conversation to determine if I'm the right fit for your needs, and I'm not afraid to tell you if I'm not. In every consultation I've had, I've either been able to help directly or point the client in the best direction to meet their goals. From there, I propose a tailored approach, whether that's a focused consulting engagement, a development project, or ongoing technical leadership.
Do you work with startups or only enterprises?
I work with organizations of all sizes. I've helped startups get their products off the ground and partnered with enterprises like Porsche and Audi on large-scale solutions. The common thread is organizations that value quality and want technology that creates real business value.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes! I offer a free initial consultation for new clients. This gives us a chance to discuss your challenges and goals, and for me to assess whether I'm the right fit for your project. I believe in honest conversations. If I'm not the best person to help, I'll tell you and point you in the right direction. Schedule your free consultation.
What is your pricing structure?
Pricing depends on the scope and nature of the engagement. I offer project-based pricing for defined deliverables and retainer arrangements for ongoing work. I'm happy to discuss your specific needs and provide a transparent quote during our free consultation.
Technical Expertise
What technologies do you specialize in?
I have a very broad technology background spanning JavaScript, PHP, .NET, and virtually every major web framework and technology, plus experience with native mobile development, cloud platforms, and database systems. I'm technology agnostic: rather than pushing a preferred stack, I choose whatever is the best fit for each project's specific needs and constraints.
Can you work with our existing technology stack?
Absolutely. A key part of my value is the ability to quickly understand and integrate with existing systems. I've worked with legacy systems, modern cloud architectures, and everything in between. I adapt to your environment rather than requiring you to change.
What industries have you worked in?
I've delivered solutions across automotive (Porsche, Audi), logistics and delivery management, retail, healthcare, education, and consumer applications. This cross-industry experience helps me bring proven patterns and fresh perspectives to every project.
Do you handle both frontend and backend development?
Yes, I'm a true full-stack developer. I design and build complete solutions, from database architecture and APIs to user interfaces and deployment infrastructure. This end-to-end capability means fewer communication gaps and more cohesive solutions.
Working Together
Will I work directly with you?
Yes. When you work with me, you work with me. From our first conversation through project completion, you get direct access to my 20+ years of expertise and experience. Unlike larger consulting firms where you might meet senior consultants initially only to be handed off to junior team members, I personally handle every aspect of our engagement. There's no bait-and-switch, no layers of delegation. Just direct collaboration with someone who's been solving complex technology challenges for over two decades.
Are you available for new projects?
I typically have availability for new engagements, though my schedule varies. The best way to find out is to reach out through my contact page. I'll let you know my current availability and timeline.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
I work primarily remotely from Birmingham, Alabama, and have successfully delivered projects for clients across the country. For certain engagements, I'm open to periodic on-site visits when it adds value to the collaboration.
How do you communicate during projects?
Clear communication is essential. I adapt to your preferred tools, whether that's Slack, Teams, email, or regular video calls. I provide consistent updates and am responsive to questions. You'll never be left wondering about project status.
What does a typical project timeline look like?
Timelines vary significantly based on scope. A focused consulting engagement might be a few weeks, while a full application build could span several months. During our initial conversations, I'll provide realistic timeline estimates based on your specific requirements.
Do you offer ongoing support after project completion?
Yes. I believe in building lasting relationships, not just delivering code. I offer maintenance agreements, can provide training for your team, and am available for future enhancements. Many of my client relationships span years.
