A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING

Before we say hello.

Can you join our team on a contract?

Yes. I work directly with businesses and teams on development, architecture, and delivery. Include the role, tech stack, expected duration, and preferred start date in your enquiry so we can discuss fit and availability.

I have an idea but no technical brief. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Start with the problem you want to solve and who it is for. Our first conversation can help identify a practical starting point and the information needed to scope the work.

Does all development start at $90 an hour?

Support and maintenance start at NZD $90/hr. Web and mobile development starts at NZD $120/hr, while architecture, advanced AI, and complex solutions start at NZD $150/hr. We agree the applicable rate and scope before work begins.

Can you work with an existing application?

Yes. I can help investigate issues, add features, connect systems, or plan a modernisation. Share your current stack and the outcome you need; we can work out a sensible first step.
