How a project runs

From first conversation to final handover

A defined process, so you always know what phase we're in and what happens next.

01

Discovery call

No cost, no commitment

We talk through what your business needs and who'll use it — a first conversation, not a sales pitch.

02

Proposal

Written scope & pricing

You get a written scope with a few pricing options. You approve it, or ask for changes — nothing starts until you're happy with it.

03

Build & handover

The bulk of the engagement

I build it, we test it under real use, and I deliver a version your team can run on its own.

Payment is split across the engagement (deposit + installments, or fixed monthly) — details in the proposal. Changes requested after final delivery are scoped as a new, separate project.


What's included

Four things businesses usually need from this kind of engagement

A platform your team can run without you

Backend, APIs, and dashboards built to be handed off — not a personal framework only I understand.

Less manual work, done with AI

Chat, search, and document processing wired into the tools your team already uses — scoped to what actually saves time.

Get paid and let people in, without building it yourself

Stripe billing, passwordless login, subscriptions — the plumbing every platform needs and nobody wants to own.

A system that stays up

Infrastructure as code, CI/CD, monitoring — the reliability practice I run daily as an SRE, applied to what I build for you.

About

Who you'd be working with

I'm a software engineer based in San José, Costa Rica, currently an SRE on IBM's Security Verify team — the reliability half of what I offer isn't theoretical, it's what I do every day.

Consulting runs alongside that full-time role, which is exactly why engagements are scoped and time-boxed: built to leave your team self-sufficient, not dependent on me.

A side project of mine has over 9,000 downloads — a small proof I care about shipping things people actually use.
