What's the difference between hiring you and hiring a freelancer?

Freelancers execute tasks. I provide strategic technical leadership, architecture planning, and product-level thinking. I'm invested in your product's success, not just getting paid for hours.

How long does a typical MVP take?

Most MVPs take 4–8 weeks depending on complexity. The timeline is clearly defined during the strategy phase before any development begins.

Can I hire you as a software consultant without a full build?

Yes. Consulting is the first offer: strategy, requirements, and architecture. Technical partnership (building the SaaS) is the next step if you want it. See software consulting.

Do I need equity to work with you?

No. I work on a project-based or retainer basis. You keep 100% of your equity. Think of me as a technical partner without the equity ask.

What if I already have some code written?

That's fine. I can review your existing codebase, identify issues, and either build on it or recommend a structured rebuild if necessary.

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Yes — that's my ideal client. I translate complex technical decisions into clear, understandable options so you can make informed choices.

What happens after the MVP launches?

I provide ongoing technical advisory, support, and feature expansion. Many clients continue working with me as they scale.
