HOW I WORK
|
|
You bought it, you own it. All code and electronic design documents developed for a customer project are made
available to the paying customer.
Code re-use: for the sake of efficiency and practicality, ideas, code snippets and algorithms may be shared
between projects, to the extent that intellectual property is not compromised (date/time algorithms are an example).
That means a new customer shares in the benefits of years of prior work, but may also "pay it forward" with any new
knowledge and experience gained by working on their project. Anything that needs to be "super proprietary" can be
done, but would lose the benefit of using any prior code or engineering documents.
Work may be quoted on time and materials or per-project basis. My hourly rate is $100 per hour.
Time not spent on a project on a given day is not charged to that project. This may seem like an obvious thing,
but it's worth mentioning. Time spent for any significant travel will be billed for half the travel time - it's time
I can't use, but it's also time of no use to the customer.
Need help but not sure who to trust? Let me quote a small project, and we'll get to know one another. Most of my clients
are repeat clients, and I build my business on a few trusted relationships.
Communication is key, and surprises in time spent or deliverables signifies a failure in that communication.
With that in mine, I start with a detailed design specification, and continue with weekly reports to make sure
that your time is being spent wisely.
