Question 1

What if I don't know my full scope yet?

Accepted Answer

Most founders don't. That's what the scoping call is for. In 20 minutes we'll talk through what you're building, who it's for, and what "launched" means. You need an idea, not a spec.

Question 2

What does "fixed price" actually include?

Accepted Answer

Everything in the signed scope doc. Design, build, deploy, domain setup, auth, payments if scoped, AI integration if scoped, and two weeks of post-launch fixes. No hidden line items.

Question 3

What happens if we go over 8 weeks?

Accepted Answer

On my side? You don't pay more. The fixed price is fixed. Most builds land inside the window because the scope is locked before I write a line of code.

Question 4

Do I own the code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Completely. From day one. Code, repo, infra, domain, every credential. If you fired me the day after launch, another developer could take over in an hour. Non-negotiable.

Question 5

Do you use AI to build my product?

Accepted Answer

Yes — I use Claude and Codex to accelerate development. But I don't just 'vibe code'. My 5+ years of engineering experience dictates the architecture. I use AI for boilerplate and rapid prototyping, so I can spend my time on your complex business logic and ensuring the system is robust.

Question 6

Why a solo dev over an agency?

Accepted Answer

One person, first call to launch day. Decisions in hours, not weeks. If your project needs five developers, hire an agency — I'll tell you honestly on the scoping call.

Question 7

Is working with someone in the Himalayas a problem?

Accepted Answer

Not according to my 67 five-star reviews. Most clients find the time zone gap is actually their biggest advantage: you send a message at the end of your day, and wake up to a reply and often working code. It's like having a developer who builds while you sleep.

Question 8

How do we start?

Accepted Answer

Book a 20-minute scoping call. Free, no prep, no obligation. If I'm the right fit, scope doc within 48 hours. If not, I'll tell you — and introduce you to someone who is.
