How I work

A working app.
At every step.

Agree the scope

We define the deliverable, exclusions and acceptance criteria before work starts. Mac apps are my focus; iOS work is available by discussion.

Build in milestones

Shipping packages use 40 / 30 / 30 payments. New apps use three to five milestones, each with a working result you can run.

Hand it over properly

You receive the agreed source, release artifacts and build instructions. Two adjustment rounds per milestone and a thirty-day defect warranty are included.
