How I Work

I believe great work comes from clear communication, fast iteration, and a relentless focus on shipping. Here's what to expect when we work together.

Communication

I'm async-first. You won't need to schedule calls to get updates or make decisions. I communicate primarily through:

  • Weekly status updates — What shipped, what's next, any blockers
  • GitHub/GitLab — PRs, issues, and code comments
  • Email — For anything that needs a paper trail
  • Slack/Discord — If you prefer real-time (optional)

I respond to messages within 24 hours, usually much faster. If something's urgent, I'll flag it immediately.

The Workflow

Every project follows the same basic pattern:

1

Understand

Before writing any code, I make sure I understand what you're trying to achieve. Not just the feature spec, but the business context. Why does this matter? Who benefits? What does success look like?

2

Plan

I break the work into concrete deliverables with clear milestones. You'll know exactly what you're getting and when. No black boxes.

3

Build

I work in short iterations, shipping working code early and often. You'll see progress within days, not weeks. If something's off, we catch it fast.

4

Ship

I don't just throw code over the wall. Every deliverable includes documentation, tests where appropriate, and a clean handoff. You'll be able to maintain and extend the work after I'm done.

What I Need From You

  • Clear requirements — The more specific, the faster I ship
  • Access — Repos, environments, credentials I need
  • Timely feedback — Review PRs within 2-3 days
  • A point of contact — One person who can answer questions

That's it. I don't need micromanagement, daily standups, or detailed Jira tickets. Just point me at the problem and I'll solve it.

Timeline Expectations

Most projects follow this rough timeline:

  • Code review: 1-2 days
  • Bug fix: 2-5 days
  • Small feature: 1-2 weeks
  • Larger projects: Scoped and estimated individually

I'll give you a specific estimate before we start. If scope changes, I'll flag it immediately — no surprise invoices.

Tools & Tech

I work with modern tools and follow industry best practices:

  • Version control: Git (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
  • Languages: TypeScript, Python, JavaScript, Go
  • Frameworks: React, Next.js, Node.js, FastAPI
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Vercel, Docker

If you're using something else, I'm a fast learner. Most tools are just variations on the same themes.
