02·PRODUCT ENGINEERING

Personal firmware.

Four disciplines. One operator. Same firmware on every project.
01 / 04·CODE & ARCHITECTURE
"Number is the ruler of forms and ideas."
  • Production sites in Astro / Next.js / Shopify
  • Type-safe end to end (TypeScript, Zod schemas)
  • Clean data models — auth, payments, content
  • Sovereign-stack preference (Cloudflare, no vendor lock)
  • Performance budgets enforced (LCP < 2.5s, no jank)
02 / 04·DISCOVERY & SCOPING
"Wisdom begins in wonder."
  • 6-question teaser → 45-min discovery call → fixed quote
  • Acceptance criteria locked before any code
  • Honest "no" when a no-code tool fits better
  • Explicit out-of-scope list in every SOW
  • One decision-maker, one approval chain
03 / 04·STANDARDS & ACCESSIBILITY
"The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself."
  • WCAG 2.2 AA baseline, Section 508 when gov-adjacent
  • Semantic HTML, keyboard paths, ARIA only where earned
  • Lighthouse a11y / SEO / best-practices ≥ 95
  • Privacy-first analytics (Plausible default)
  • DKIM/SPF/DMARC on every transactional sender
04 / 04·SHIPPING & HANDOFF
"The forge does not ask what it builds — only that it builds well."
  • Two-week typical from kickoff to live URL
  • Code in YOUR GitHub from day one — you own it
  • Deploy pipeline documented in the repo README
  • Domain, DNS, analytics, email — zero-downtime switch
  • 14-day post-launch fix window included
03·HOW I WORK

Process — five steps, no surprises.

Ten years in aviation supply chain before this — MROs, contract manufacturing, parts distribution. I learned what "this cannot go down" means in a regulated environment, how compliance work actually fails, and why some deadlines stop being arbitrary. I bring that posture to web work: things ship working, and they survive their first audit.

I take one project at a time. Two-week delivery for a brochure site, three to five for an e-commerce or service-booking build. Fixed price against a written SOW, weekly checkpoints, clean handoff with code and copy ownership spelled out. If you need to pause, you can — your slot picks up where we left off.

01

Teaser

Six-question intake form. Tells me budget, deadline, success metric. Reply within 24 hours with a yes-let's-talk or a clean referral.

02

Discovery

45-minute call. We walk the requirements, name acceptance criteria, identify what's out-of-scope. Honest "no" if no-code fits better.

03

SOW

Written scope, fixed price, milestones, ownership terms. One decision-maker. You sign before any code is written.

04

Build

Two-week typical. Weekly checkpoint. Code lands in YOUR GitHub from day one. Pause-anytime clause — your slot picks back up.

05

Launch

Domain, DNS, analytics, email switched cleanly. README documents the deploy pipeline. 14-day post-launch fix window included.

Claude Code is in the loop as a force multiplier. The judgment is mine; the speed is augmented.
