Fixed scope · Fixed price

New systems built right. Old ones modernized. At a fixed price.

For businesses stuck with slow, fragile software — or an aging system nobody wants to touch. One senior engineer takes it from first call to clean handoff: no hourly meter, no retainer, no surprise overruns.

Why it's different

No hourly meter. No retainer. No surprises.

Most engineering help bills by the hour — and is happy to bill forever. I work the opposite way: a defined piece of work, a price you agree to before it starts, and a system built to stop needing me.

01 · FIXED SCOPE

A price you approve up front

The scope is pinned down before any work begins. You sign off on the number — and it doesn't move. No meter running in the background, no scope that quietly grows.

02 · LOW MAINTENANCE

Built to stop needing me

Engineered for minimal maintenance and a clean handoff — no standing support contract required to keep it running. If you never have to call me again, that's the job done right.

03 · VERIFIABLE

Work you can verify

Every project comes with thorough testing, a record of exactly what was done, and documentation any engineer you hire next can pick up — built to the standards and best practices your application calls for. You see exactly what you paid for, instead of taking it on trust.

04 · SENIOR DELIVERY

One engineer, start to finish

The person who scopes the work is the person who builds it. No handoff to juniors, no account managers in the middle — just direct, experienced delivery.

What I fix & build

Four things businesses hire me for

Each is a fixed-scope project with a price you approve first. Find the problem that sounds like yours — the offers beside it are ready-made ways to start.

01 Most common

Software modernization

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Your software still works — but it's become slow and stressful to change. Every update risks breaking something else, and it may be built on technology that's now hard to support.

Your software made safe and quick to change again — and, where it makes sense, moved onto a modern, supported foundation with your data and daily workflow intact.

Proof: rebuilt a large, tangled business system on a clean, well-tested foundation — quicker to work with, far safer to change, and backed by automated tests that catch problems before your customers do. Read about the method →

FIXED-SCOPE OFFERS
Health checkA plain-English assessment of what's fragile, what's risky, and the highest-value fixes — each with its own fixed quote.
Modernization sprintA focused piece of work that takes the most painful part of your software and makes it safe and easy to change.
Move an aging app forwardAn old app the business still relies on, moved onto a modern, supported foundation — data and daily workflow intact, with a tested rollback plan.
Safety-net testingAutomated checks around the parts that matter, so future changes can't quietly break what already works.
Performance tune-upFind and fix the slow spots that cost you time or money — measured before and after.
02 Cloud

Cloud infrastructure

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Servers you're tired of babysitting — or a cloud bill nobody fully understands.

Moved to the cloud, or your current setup tuned — everything documented and the running costs under control.

Proof: designed and built a monitored cloud setup that runs itself in production — documented end to end. Read about the cloud work →

03 Specialist work

Healthcare IT & medical imaging

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Imaging and patient systems that don't talk to each other — leaving your team to bridge the gap by hand.

Your imaging and patient systems working together cleanly, around the software you already use.

Proof: built imaging software that reliably stores, converts and moves medical images between systems — built to meet the standards healthcare demands. Read about the imaging work →

FIXED-SCOPE OFFERS

04 Purpose-built · low-upkeep

Custom internal tools

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Your team is held together by spreadsheets and workarounds for a job no off-the-shelf software quite fits.

A tool built to fit exactly how your team works — one that just runs, no support contract required.

Proof: built order and parts trackers, pricing and job calculators, and case trackers that run live operations every day. Read about the tools →

How it works

From first call to a system you own

Four steps. No retainer waiting at the end of them.

01

Scope

A short conversation to pin down exactly what gets built and what "done" means.

02

Fixed quote

One price for the agreed scope. You approve it before anything starts.

03

Build & verify

Written progress updates at every milestone — then delivery with tests and documentation you can inspect, not take on faith.

04

Clean handoff

You own everything — the code, the documentation, the accounts — plus a written runbook your team can follow. Support is an option, never a dependency.

Straight talk

Is this a fit?

A fixed-price practice isn't right for everyone. Here's who it's built for — and who it isn't.

A fit if…

  • You have a real problem you want owned end to end.
  • You'd rather agree on a fixed price than watch an open meter.
  • You want a clean handoff and a system that runs itself.
  • You value senior judgment over the lowest hourly rate.
  • You need someone comfortable with NDAs, security reviews, and procurement.

Probably not if…

  • You're shopping purely for the cheapest hour.
  • You want someone on permanent standby or an ongoing retainer.
  • The work genuinely can't be scoped yet — though it's still worth a conversation.
