Why do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Because I've seen too many developers deliver "technically correct" solutions that don't actually solve business problems. When I waived payment after my Bluetooth system proved slow for the client's needs, it wasn't about being nice; it was about taking responsibility for real-world impact. Most consultants disappear after deployment; I stick around to ensure results.
How do you learn new technologies so quickly?
Instead of memorizing APIs and syntaxes (which is important but not paramount), I reverse-engineer the problem the technology was built to solve, putting myself in the shoes of the creators. When I needed to understand CAN-Bus protocols for automotive work, I spent time learning why cars need that specific communication method before touching any code. Understanding the "why" makes the "how" obvious.
To Get New Clients, Why did you go door-to-door?
Digital marketing tells you what businesses think they need. Walking through Chicago neighborhoods and talking to actual owners revealed what they really struggle with daily. The intensity with which a corner-store owner complains about inventory waste yields more insight than any market research report. Plus, if I'm going to build technology for local businesses, I should understand their physical environment and customer interactions.
How does your theatre background help with software development?
Theatre taught me to read the room and hear what people really need, even when they can't articulate it across language and knowledge barriers. When my mining client asked for "accuracy," my performer's intuition caught the real goal: don't lose valuable gemstones. Result: 2.5x better business impact.
Can you really build quality solutions with $0 budget?
Constraints spark creativity. I've built LLM chatbots and CPU-based AI training systems using only free resources. When money can't be thrown at problems, we find elegant and improvised solutions that meet the requirements while saving significant costs. We may not invent something new, but we solve a problem and get the job done.
What's your typical project timeline?
MVP in 3-5 weeks, full solution in 8-12 weeks. There's a balance to be attained between getting results quickly with imperfect code and accruing technical debt by moving way too fast. Whenever I start a project, I think on first principles and determine this balance for that goal.
Do you work with large enterprises or just small businesses?
For me, it's always about the problem/s I'm solving and the people I'm impacting. I focus on businesses where I can make a real impact, regardless of size. Whether it's a corner store needing inventory management or a fintech processing millions of transactions, I adapt my approach to your actual needs and constraints.
