Frequently asked questions
What happens after I submit the form?
I read every submission personally and reply within 1 business day with clear next steps or follow-up questions. No automated sequences or SDRs.
What's the typical first engagement?
Most teams start with an Architecture Review (1–2 weeks): a focused audit of the firmware stack, OTA flow, or diagnostics setup. It produces a written report and makes follow-on scoping much faster.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. For project-scoped work, I send a standard mutual NDA before detailed technical discussions begin. Early-stage conversations are treated as confidential by default.
Do you work with early-stage teams?
Yes, when there's a real product schedule and a concrete technical problem — not idea-stage validation. I'm best suited for teams that have working hardware or a dev kit and need to move faster.
What's a typical project size?
Architecture Reviews start from a fixed fee. Project Engagements are scoped per deliverable and typically run 4–12 weeks. Advisory retainers are monthly. All are agreed in writing before work begins.
Are you available for new work?
I take on one new engagement per quarter to keep delivery quality high. Reach out early if you have a hard deadline — I can hold a slot for a confirmed project.
