01
White-label builds
Your client, your brand, your project manager. I build the site or the app. I can stay behind the curtain or join client calls as part of your team. Your call.
For agencies
The senior developer your agency calls when the work gets technical.
I spent 7 years as the outside developer that agencies and their clients hired, and shipped 150+ sites that way. Then I ran an agency's development department for 3 years.
So I know what a blown estimate does to a project's margin. I sat in the weekly budget meeting.
Ways to work together
Pick the gap you need filled
02
Overflow and rescue
Your team's full, or a project has gone sideways. I pick up the codebase, find out what's broken and get it to launch.
03
Technical lead for a project or a pitch
I scope the build, write the technical specification and answer the hard questions in the pitch room. I've presented technical solutions to clients for years.
04
Fractional development manager
Hiring, code review, QA, coding standards, estimates. I set these up at RC Design for a team of 4 to 5 developers. I can do it for yours a few days a month.
What comes with it
The parts of the job that protect your margin
Estimates you can put in a proposal
I've drafted proposals and budgets with account leads, and I've reviewed estimates against active hours after the fact. I know which line items blow up.
Accessibility checked before launch
AODA and WCAG 2 AA audits were part of every project I led. Your client's legal team will ask. You'll have the answer.
A developer who talks to designers
I worked daily with design teams on wireframes, UI and discovery, and I trained agency designers on what the web can do. I build what they drew.
A documented handoff
Code, docs and a walkthrough. Your team or your client can run it after I leave.
