FAQs
The questions founders usually ask before we start working together.
I'm here to help you
How long does a project take?
AI integration runs 2–4 weeks, backend rescue 1–3 weeks, and a full MVP 4–8 weeks. You get a fixed timeline in the written scope before we start — and I hold to it.
What if the scope changes mid-project?
What do you need from me to get started?
Can you work with our existing codebase and team?
Do you provide post-launch support?
What’s the best way to reach you?
