A direct working relationship

Speak to the person doing the work.

I’m Peter. I’ve worked in software since 1998, from e-commerce and web applications to cloud platforms, chatbots and operational support.

You get someone who can understand the problem, build the solution and help keep it running. I’m comfortable with a one-off task or becoming a dependable part-time technical pair of hands.

What working together looks like

  • Start with the problem. Tell me what is blocking you and what a useful result would be.
  • Agree a sensible scope. I’ll help break a large issue into a practical first piece of work.
  • Make it maintainable. Clear handover and documentation matter as much as getting it working.

Have something in mind?
