Limited Time Offer

Founding Client Offer

For the next 3 engagements started before December 31, 2025, I'm offering a 15% discount on project fees.

You get the same quality at a reduced rate while I build out Gliltech's case study portfolio.

In return, I ask for:

  • A detailed testimonial upon project completion
  • Permission to showcase the work as a case study (with your approval on what's shared publicly)

Every Engagement Starts With a Free Strategy Call

I offer every potential client a free 45-minute technical consultation.

We'll discuss:

Your project requirements & technical challenges
Recommended technology approach
Realistic timeline & investment estimate
Whether we're the right fit for each other

No sales pitch. No obligation. Just honest technical consultation from someone who's built production systems for 8 years.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions about investment and engagement

Do you work on hourly rates?

I prefer fixed-scope projects or monthly retainers for predictable budgeting. However, for exploration phases or undefined scopes, I can work hourly at $150-200/hour.

What's included in the 30-day post-launch support?

Bug fixes, performance adjustments, and minor tweaks related to the delivered scope. New features or major changes would be a separate engagement.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes! Project-based work is split 30/40/30. Retainers are monthly. We're flexible on payment schedules for the right projects.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, 30% upfront for project-based work. This ensures commitment on both sides and covers initial discovery and planning.

What if my budget is lower than $25K?

Reach out anyway. For the right project or founding client, I'm flexible. I may be able to scope a smaller MVP or suggest phased delivery.
