Question 1

How long does a typical engagement take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the package. An AI-to-Production Sprint usually runs 6 to 8 weeks. A Product Build from idea to launch is 3 to 6 months. Modernization audits deliver a plan in 2 weeks, with hands-on work scoped separately. Fractional Tech Lead is ongoing, typically 1 to 2 days per week.

Question 2

Do you charge fixed-price or hourly?

Accepted Answer

I prefer fixed-price or fixed-day-rate per sprint so there's no clock-watching on either side. After a free discovery call I send a written scope with the price, deliverables, and timeline. You know exactly what you're getting before you commit.

Question 3

Can we start with a small piece of work?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. A short technical audit or a two-week architecture review is a common way to work together before committing to a longer engagement. It's also how I get comfortable with your codebase.

Question 4

What timezones do you work in?

Accepted Answer

I'm based in Leipzig, Germany (CET/CEST). I have overlap with European, UK, and East Coast US hours. For Asia-Pacific, we can usually find 2–3 hours of overlap per day. Fully async work is fine too.

Question 5

Not just you, right? Can this scale?

Accepted Answer

Correct, it's not just me. Small projects I ship solo with no handoffs. For bigger scopes I plug into a global network of senior engineers and vetted software houses (frontend, backend, mobile, design, QA) I've worked with across Europe, the UK, Canada, and Pakistan. If your project outgrows one person, I connect you directly to the right team. No agency markup, no reselling. You always know who's on your project and why. See the Network section below for the kind of partners I can bring in.

Question 6

What if my project isn't AI-related?

Accepted Answer

AI-to-production is the featured engagement, but most of my work is classic web and desktop product building. React, Next.js, Electron, Node. If your project is any of those, the process is the same.
