If you know the question, start in the right place.
FAQs help, but a planning path is usually faster once you know what you are trying to decide.
What services do you offer?
I specialise in workflow automation, business process optimisation, web applications, client portals, company intranets, dashboards, and integrations with existing systems.
How do you charge for your services?
Most work is either a focused package, pay-as-you-go at $200/hr NZD, or monthly ongoing work at $150/hr. Fixed-price quotes are available when the scope is clear.
What is your typical project timeline?
Simple automations can take a few days. More substantial portals, intranets, dashboards, or applications usually take several weeks. The planning stage sets a realistic timeline.
Do you provide ongoing support?
Yes. Monthly support and development options are available when a system needs ongoing improvements, maintenance, fixes, or iteration.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. I regularly work with existing CRMs, project management tools, accounting platforms, scheduling systems, databases, and custom APIs.
What technologies do you use?
I use practical modern tools including React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Supabase/PostgreSQL, Vercel, and automation platforms. The stack depends on the job.
How do I get started?
Start with a Tech Clarity Session or a short contact message. The first step is naming the bottleneck clearly enough to scope the right fix.
Do you offer training?
Yes. I provide training and documentation with delivered systems so your team can use the system confidently without guessing.
Missing something?
Ask the question in plain English.
A short message is often enough to work out whether you need a tool, a planning session, a fixed package, or nothing at all.
