§1 Questions
1.1
By scope, not by the hour. Each build is quoted up front so you know the number before we start — typical ranges are on the Services page. Ongoing work (consulting or a retainer) is the exception, billed hourly or monthly.
1.2
A quick fix is usually a few days. A standard workflow runs one to two weeks. Multi-system integrations take longer and always start with a short discovery so we're building the right thing.
1.3
Yes. New engagements can start with a free first month in exchange for an honest testimonial and a case study. It lowers your risk and helps me build proof while my consulting practice is young.
1.4
Most freelancers can connect tools. Far fewer can tell you what's actually worth building. I bring 20 years of enterprise business analysis (CBAP, KPMG, banking, Mercedes-Benz) to the diagnosis, then build it myself. You get analysis and execution from one person.
1.5
Yes. I work privacy-first — for sensitive work I anonymise data before anything touches a model, and raw client data never leaves your control. I'm happy to sign an NDA before we get into specifics.
1.6
Mostly n8n for orchestration and Claude for reasoning, plus OpenAI, Azure AI, Supabase, Google Workspace APIs, and a Next.js / Trigger.dev stack when something custom is needed. I pick the tool that fits the problem, not the other way around.
1.7
Entirely remote. I'm based in Taiwan (GMT+8) and work asynchronously with clients in the US and UK — clear updates and documented progress so the time difference is an advantage, not a bottleneck.
1.8
That's the goal. Every build is documented and handed over, with a short training session for standard projects. If you'd rather not maintain it yourself, a monthly retainer keeps it running and improving.
