About Trust & Reliability

Why should I trust a one-person consultancy with our critical infrastructure?

Fair question. Here's why this model works:

  • 15+ years experience at companies like Gong.io and F5 Networks
  • I personally handle every project—no junior consultants or outsourcing
  • Fixed-price model means I'm incentivized to deliver quality
  • All code is documented and owned by you—no dependency on me
  • Money-back guarantee if deliverables aren't met

What happens if you're unavailable during the project?

I take on a limited number of projects at a time (maximum 2 concurrent) to ensure availability. Emergency situations are built into project timelines with buffer periods. For ongoing partnerships, SLA response times are defined in advance.

What if you get hit by a bus after the project?

This is exactly why complete ownership and documentation are core to my approach:

  • You receive all source code, configurations, and infrastructure-as-code
  • Comprehensive documentation and runbooks for every component
  • Team training ensures your engineers can maintain everything
  • Our proprietary AI knowledge base provides ongoing support even without me
  • No proprietary tools or vendor lock-in

About AI & Quality

How do I know the AI-generated code is secure and high-quality?

Our proprietary AI workflow automation system accelerates development, but every line is:

  • Reviewed by me personally (15+ years experience)
  • Tested against security best practices
  • Validated in staging environments before production
  • Subject to the same quality standards as any code I write manually
  • Guaranteed to meet all specified requirements or you get a refund

Will I be dependent on AI tools after the project?

No. You receive standard code in Python/Go/Bash/YAML that runs without any AI dependencies. Our proprietary AI knowledge base is optional—all documentation is also available in traditional format.

About Pricing & Process

Why fixed-price instead of hourly?

Fixed-price aligns my incentives with yours:

  • You know the total cost upfront—no surprises
  • I'm incentivized to deliver efficiently
  • No padding hours or creating dependencies
  • Clear scope and deliverables defined before work begins

What if we need changes mid-project?

Minor adjustments within scope are included. Significant scope changes are handled as change requests with pricing adjustments, but this is rare with proper planning.

Can you work with our existing team?

Absolutely. I collaborate directly with your engineers, using your tools and processes. Knowledge transfer throughout the project ensures your team can maintain everything independently.

About Results

What if the solution doesn't work as promised?

Money-back guarantee. If deliverables don't meet specified requirements or performance metrics, you get a full refund. See our detailed guarantee terms for specifics.

How quickly can we see results?

Most projects show measurable improvements within the first week. For example:

  • CI/CD implementations: Faster deployments from day one
  • Kubernetes platforms: Development environments ready within 3-5 days
  • Automation projects: Time savings visible immediately after deployment

Technical Questions

What technologies do you work with?

I work with the full modern infrastructure stack:

  • Containers & Orchestration: Kubernetes, Docker, Helm
  • Cloud Platforms: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Pulumi, Crossplane
  • Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack
  • Languages: Python, Go, Bash, YAML

Do you work with on-premises infrastructure?

Yes. I've built solutions spanning cloud, hybrid, and air-gapped environments. My experience includes deployments in major Chinese banks via USB drives and multi-cloud architectures.

What's your approach to security?

Security is built into every solution from the ground up:

  • All code follows security best practices and is reviewed
  • Infrastructure follows principle of least privilege
  • Secrets management and encryption are standard
  • Compliance requirements (GDPR, SOC2) are addressed
  • Security testing is included in all implementations
