Value-based pricing for
outcome-driven work.

I don't bill by the hour or the day. Every engagement is priced monthly — based on what we're building, how long it takes, and how involved I need to be. The faster and better I work, the more value you get for the same price.

A note on pricing

Why I don't bill by the day.

The better my tools get and the sharper my judgment becomes, the faster I deliver. A day-rate model punishes that — it means the more efficient I am, the less I earn. That's a broken incentive.

Monthly pricing aligns us on what matters: outcomes. You pay for what gets built, not how long it takes me. My speed and my AI-augmented workflow are my edge — and they're included in the price.

Questions

How does pricing work?

Every engagement is billed monthly at a flat rate. No timesheets, no day tracking. The monthly fee reflects the intensity and scope of the work, not the hours spent. Shorter, more intense engagements cost more per month. Longer commitments cost less.

Can the scope evolve over time?

Yes — and it usually does. Many of my Build engagements naturally expand into Lead as the project grows. That's a feature, not scope creep. We adjust the engagement model and pricing together when the work changes shape.

Do you work with existing teams?

Yes. In Lead and Lead + Build engagements, I embed in your team, your Slack, your codebase. I work alongside your developers, not in a silo. For Build engagements, I can work solo or coordinate with designers and other contractors.

How fast can you start?

Typically 1–2 weeks from our first call, depending on current availability. Check the footer — if it says "Accepting new clients," I have capacity.

What does a typical engagement look like?

It starts with a 30-minute call where you tell me what you're building. I'll tell you which offering fits, and we'll scope the first milestone together. Most engagements start within 1–2 weeks of that call. You get weekly visible progress from day one.

What if I'm not sure which offering I need?

That's what the call is for. Describe your situation, and I'll recommend the right fit. If your project doesn't match any of these offerings, I'll tell you that too — and point you somewhere better.

What do I own at the end?

Everything. Code, infrastructure, documentation — it's all yours. I build for your autonomy, not for dependency on me. Every engagement ends with a full handover.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Each offering has a recommended minimum duration (shown above). For Solve engagements, there's no minimum beyond the project scope. For Build and Lead + Build, 3 months is the minimum. For Lead, 6 months — because meaningful technical leadership takes time to compound.

What clients say about working together

While he may have had the highest hourly rate I've ever paid, he ended up costing me the least overall, due to his speed and effectiveness. You need to see him code live to fully understand!

Emmanuel
CEO @ High Stickers

He gets it quickly. He delivers quickly. And he delivers quality. Communication is smooth, and he usually takes the time to make those small improvements that really make a difference in the final product.

Thomas
CEO @ Guest Suite

He doesn't sugarcoat things. If you're doing something wrong, he'll tell you — and that kind of feedback is invaluable for entrepreneurs. His blend of business vision and coding talent makes him a key asset to any team.

Valentin
CEO @ Koudetat

Let's talk about what you're building.

30-minute call. No pitch deck. Just tell me what you're trying to build — I'll tell you how I'd approach it.
