Collaboration

The assessment of project compatibility starts with a free and non-binding initial discussion about the objectives, scope, and technical implementation. If collaboration appears possible, the client must appoint a project owner responsible for consolidating and prioritizing the business requirements.

Solo developer-sized projects

Collaboration usually begins with me acting as the contract partner responsible for the technical implementation of the web application, with the larger initial phase agreed for the project being implemented first. After this, development can continue in a way that best suits the nature of the project.

Projects requiring shared knowledge

When a project requires shared knowledge, the client may hire a junior developer whose responsibility is then to handle the actual programming work as independently as possible, while I remain responsible for software requirements specification, technical documentation, and for code review, deployment, and testing.

Why this model works

This model is a cost-effective and practical alternative to having an in-house or fully outsourced team, because in the solo developer phase the work is done primarily with fixed pricing, and when the project requires shared knowledge, the client still retains access to the same senior developer, but on a flexible hourly basis.
