The experience you are looking for at the speed of light.
I want to deliver value quickly because you do not have time waste and because I enjoy getting the job done.
At a fixed monthly price you can get a dedicated email address where you can submit issues and feature requests. You can share your project board with us, or I will provide one for you.
No need for video call, stand-ups and things like that. You know what I are good at and why you are here. After an initial call to learn about each other everything happens asynchronously via mailing list. You get an email address and a web page where you can track and look for past conversations.
Project Management does not need to be complicated. Based on your requests I can provide a project board, or you can share your own one. I will prioritize and split tasks to optimize for short feedback loop and quick validation.
I am done with projects sizing and estimation. Your product is the result of an infinite number of iterations. Each one brings new knowledge and experience. I had the opportunity to see the output produced from “billing by hour” produces. It rarely meets the desired outcome.

FAQ
How much work can I sneak in this pipeline?
Unlimited. What does not get done in the first month will be moved to the next one.
Ok but how many hours you will work for me?
I do not bill per hour. I understand it is a very common way to understand if you are getting enough value out of your pocket, but in reality it does not work like that.
My goal here is to deliver quickly, high value and function work. I will figure out the right solution for your situation.
I totally understand this is unusual for the industry and this is why money-back is guaranteed. You have nothing to lose. Let’s try it out.
How many tasks per week?
Tasks can have different level of complexity, and based on where we are with the development (prototyping, consolidation…) they may require more or less care. Let’s say you will get one deliverable shipped a week with a constant stream of updates and information because it is my first interest to keep you informed and in the loop about ongoing work.
I spend days in meetings, how can I explain complex tasks to you?
You can record a short video if you want and attach it to a GitHub issue or an email. Worst case sure we can have a chat, but I worked with thousands of developers around the world in my experience in the open-source, and I managed to work full-time for more than 7 years from Italy for startups in Silicon Valley let me guide you to another way to get work done.
What if you do not deliver what I expect?
Development is an iterative process. There is also the possibility that the idea you have in mind today won’t stick to you or your customers when you see a first iteration. I do not bill for lesson learned or experience I will revisit and work at it until you are happy.
Why not hire a full-time employee?
The full cost of a Site Reliability Engineer or DevOps Engineer average around $180k, and you will need to find enough work to fulfill this hire. In the meantime the infrastructure needs to be setup, monitoring needs to work. Your developers need to be able to troubleshoot and understand what their application is doing in production.
With this subscription you will pay a fraction of the cost, you will get an expert not only in the field but also in understanding and guiding customers to their needs and when you feel you have what you want you can unsubscribe or pause the subscription.
