I build complex web applications for companies that need software to fit the way they work.

Four are for organisations that work with them every day. Two are tools for the desktop and the phone.

About

One person, start to finish.

I’m an independent developer based in Chile. I work alone, so the person you talk to is the person who designs the software, builds it and keeps it running.

Most of my work is for organisations whose processes don’t fit a product off the shelf: tenders, contracts, rosters, billing, training. I start by learning how the work is done today, and build from there.

Approach

How an engagement starts.

  1. A conversation

    You tell me how the work is done today and where it hurts. I ask a lot of questions.

  2. A written proposal

    Scope, assumptions, timeline and price, in plain language, before anything is built.

  3. Built in stages

    You use each part as it is finished. Afterwards I stay on to maintain it.

Tell me about your project.

A few lines about what you need is enough to start. I answer in English or Spanish.
