My Approach

I believe great software comes from understanding the business, not just the technology. Every project starts with listening—understanding your challenges, your constraints, and your goals.

1

Understand First

Before writing any code, I dig deep to understand your data, your processes, and your pain points.

2

Build Incrementally

Deliver working software early and often. No six-month waterfall projects that miss the mark.

3

Transfer Knowledge

I document everything and train your team. You should never be dependent on any single consultant—including me.
