What I can do for you

Architect and build a new software product

You want to create a new software product and need someone to design and build it for you? I can help you decide on an architecture that fits your needs and help you get started.

Continue development on a legacy application

You have a legacy application that needs to be maintained. Continuing developing a legacy application can be tricky. I can help with continuing development and modernizing while maintaining it.

Train your developers how to build modern software

Your developers are valuable and the development industry moves really fast. You can hire me to train your developers in using modern programming practices like OOP, applying SOLID practices and building maintainable applications.

Improve your deployment strategy

Do you have an application that is hard to deploy? I can help improving your deployment strategy by automating the deployment itself and even automate testing if the deployment is successful.
