FAQ

Questions we get a lot

It's a fair rate for focused senior engineering in 2026. It stays the same whether you book one hour or ten.

We run a free 30–45 minute call, write a short scope document, and return a fixed quote within 48 hours. If scope changes mid-flight we re-quote the delta.

For projects over $1,500 we take 50% upfront, 50% on delivery. Smaller projects are billed on completion.

Monthly retainers give you a block of hours, a priority queue, and a quarterly review. Or stay hourly — whatever fits.

Both. Stripe for cards, direct invoicing for bank transfer. US-based billing.
