The questions people actually ask.

It's a young practice, and I'd rather you hear that from me than work it out later. What I'm not new at is the engineering — that's a career, not a side project. If you'd like to talk to someone I've worked with before signing anything, ask and I'll arrange it.

Because I'm not going to invent them. Plenty of consulting sites carry results from clients who don't exist, and it's the fastest way to lose the trust of anyone who reads carefully. When I have work I'm allowed to describe and a client happy to be named, it'll appear here with their name on it.

In the meantime, judge me on something you can actually check: Shopfloor is a product I built and ship — equipment tracking for the trades, with AI scanning that works offline on a jobsite. It's on the home page.

Small automation and website work usually lands between $900 and $3,000. Larger AI builds run higher and get scoped properly first. The services page lists starting prices for each type of work, and the $400 First Look exists so you can find out what your specific job costs without committing to it.

Good. That's a healthier starting point than most. A fair amount of what gets marketed as AI is a normal piece of software with a chatbot attached, and plenty of problems are better solved by fixing a process than by buying anything. I'll tell you which one you've got, and that answer is free.

Yes. Nearly all of this work happens over video calls and shared screens regardless of where you are. If you're close enough to meet in person, I'm happy to.

You do — completely. Source files, domains, hosting accounts, logins, documentation. It's all handed over and it's all in your name. I don't keep a login that you don't have, and nothing I build stops working if you stop working with me.

Fair question for a one-person shop. Work is billed in stages rather than up front, so you're never far ahead of what's been delivered. Everything lives in your accounts from day one, not mine, and I document as I go specifically so another engineer could pick it up.

Not usually. Plenty of the work I do sits alongside an existing provider, and I'm happy to talk to them directly rather than around them. If they're doing a good job I'll say so.

On-site IT support, phone systems, cabling, and desktop help-desk work. Anything needing a team of engineers and a year. Rebuilds of large existing software platforms. If you ask me for one of these, you'll get a referral rather than a quote.

Book a call. Thirty minutes, no charge, no pitch deck. You describe what's slow or broken, I ask questions, and by the end you'll have a clear idea of what it would take to fix — whether or not I'm the one who fixes it.
