How I Work

Transparent engagement, daily updates, honest about which stacks I write directly vs. deliver via AI-assisted workflow.

🧭

Scope First

I ask the questions most developers skip. What's the real problem? What's the approach that will cost you later? If we're not the right fit, I'll say so before a contract.

βš™οΈ

AI-Augmented Delivery

I operate as a single-engineer team multiplied by Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor. Spec-driven generation, diff review, test-first validation. Human-in-the-loop on every high-impact merge.

πŸ“Ί

Daily Async Updates

Video or screenshot updates as work happens, not at the end of a sprint. Full 8-hour overlap with UK / EU / Middle East; 4-5 hour morning overlap with US East & Central.

πŸ”’

Production-Grade QA

Tested before delivery. Performance-optimized. Transparent about what I wrote directly (C# / .NET) vs. what was AI-assisted (mobile, modern web, AI features) so you know what to expect in deep-syntax reviews.
