How It Works

You describe the problem in writing — code, config or metrics if you have them. I dig in and give you a concrete written answer. Hourly rate €100.

Pricing

From €100/h

For second opinions and focused questions. Most consultations are 1-3 hours — larger problems start with a fixed-fee diagnosis instead.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When does consulting beat hiring?

For focused problems — architecture decisions, hard-to-debug issues, or a review before launch — consulting is cheaper and faster than a hire.
