PROCESS
How working with me actually goes.
No surprises. No 60-page proposals. Here's the flow.
- PHASE 01 // Week 1
Discovery
30-min call + 3–5 daysWe dig into the workflow that's eating the most hours. I shadow the people doing it, read the tickets, and map where time actually leaks — not where you think it does.
Deliverables- 30-min intake call (Zoom)
- Stakeholder interviews (2–4 people)
- Workflow map of the current state
- Written problem brief + success metrics
- PHASE 02 // Week 2
System design
3–5 daysI send a written teardown of how I'd build the system: architecture, integrations, edge cases, what's automated vs. left manual, and a fixed scope + fixed price. You approve before a line of code gets written.
Deliverables- Written system teardown (8–12 pages)
- Architecture + data-flow diagram
- Integration & permissions plan
- Fixed scope, price, and weekly milestones
- PHASE 03 // Weeks 3–8
Build
2–6 weeks2–6 week sprints depending on scope. Weekly demos, working software at the end of every week. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Deliverables- Working software shipped weekly
- Friday demo + Loom recap
- Shared backlog you can reprioritize
- Production deploy by final sprint
- PHASE 04 // Final week
Handoff
1 week + 30 days supportDocumentation, team training, and 30 days of post-launch support included. I leave you with something your team can run, not something they need me for.
Deliverables- Runbook + architecture docs
- Live training session for your team
- 30 days of bug-fix + tweak support
- Optional retainer for new builds
Typical engagement
4–8 weeks, intro to handoff.
