Freelance & contract
Senior engineering for teams that need something actually shipped.
Separate from my full-time job search, I take on a small number of freelance engagements at a time. Most are AI integrations, Odoo + automation, or full-stack product builds. All come with weekly demos, a written plan, and code your team can own.

How we work
Process, in four steps
Same shape for a 2-week sprint or a 3-month build.
01
Discovery call
30 minutes. Free. We agree on what good looks like and whether I'm the right person for it.
02
Scope + plan
Short written proposal with milestones, risks, deliverables and a fixed price or rate.
03
Build in slices
Weekly demos. You always see something working, not just status updates.
04
Handover
Docs, recordings, runbooks. Your team owns it after I leave.
What clients say
Reviews from actual engagements
Real reviews from platforms where the work was contracted — not curated marketing copy.

Principles
How I work, written down
- Fixed-price wherever the scope can be fixed.
- Weekly demo, not weekly status.
- Code, infra and workflows live in your Git, not mine.
- Honest about what I do not know.
- No 'just one more thing' scope creep without a written change.
