How I Work
Six steps from first call to long-term support.
Understand
I listen first. What's the goal, what's broken, what does success look like?
Plan
Clear scope, realistic timeline. No surprises mid-way through the project.
Build
Clean code, tested locally, reviewed before anything touches production.
Review
You see working software early and often. Feedback lands while changes are still cheap.
Deliver
Deployed, handed over and documented. You own the codebase, not a black box.
Support
I don't disappear after go-live. Fixes, updates and iteration as the product grows.
