Backend automation
Scripted flows, jobs and integrations that replace manual work. Scheduled Lambdas, cron jobs and webhook pipelines.
Development & consulting
Software development and consulting at an hourly rate
System design, backend, APIs, integrations and cloud architecture in AWS — at an hourly rate, with no lock-in. Short decision paths and code you can trust.

Example assignments
Concrete project types taken on — not an exhaustive list, but starting points to riff on.
Further development of an existing system
New feature, refactoring or stabilisation of existing code. Onboarding into the codebase, PR-based delivery and a sounding board for your team.
Mobile app from start to delivery
React Native or PWA. Delivery of a finished, working app. Apple Developer and Google Play accounts, signing and publishing you handle yourself — it requires your company accounts.
AWS setup
New stack in AWS: compute, storage, networking, CI/CD, secrets and observability. Infrastructure-as-code so the environment is reproducible.
System integration
Connecting CRM, finance, e-commerce and internal tools. ETL flows, API bridges and data transformations that actually work.
Code review & technical advisory
Review of code, architecture and security with concrete actions. Good ahead of due diligence or stack changes.
Software consultant for all kinds of development
Need more than a website? Here you'll find system design, backend, APIs, integrations and cloud architecture in AWS. Short decision paths, clear communication and code you can trust. For larger projects there's a network of specialists in backend, architecture and design brought in when needed.
When does your own hourly project fit?
Your own hourly project is for you who don't want to be forced into a ready-made package. You pay for what's actually delivered — the hours are logged transparently on a kanban board you have full visibility into, and invoiced monthly based on what landed in the “done” column. No lock-in: cancel whenever you want, you only pay for what's been done up to then.
This is the right choice when the assignment isn't “a website is enough” but something more complex — a backend system that needs to integrate several services, a mobile app in React Native, an AWS setup with Lambdas and pipelines, migration from an old system or further development of a codebase you already have. It's also the right choice when you already have a team and want to buy extra developer capacity weekly: adapting to your tools, your routines and your stand-ups.
Daily stack: JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Next.js, Node), Java with Spring for traditional backend services, Python for APIs, data flows and automation, AWS in production for a couple of years and Datadog for observability. The tool is always chosen for the task — not for what's coolest.
You talk directly with the developer every week, no project manager in between, no email threads that take three days. Asynchronous updates between check-ins so you follow along in real time. Just like with the website packages: you own the code, you're on all accounts and the stack is open source with no vendor lock-in. When the collaboration ends — after two months or two years — you get a clean handover to your team or your next provider.
Mobile & web apps
Native feel in React Native or PWA — a finished app that you publish yourself to the App Store and Google Play via your company accounts.
Software development & integrations
Backend services, APIs, automations and AWS architecture that connect your systems. You own the code — pipelines and observability are set up for you.
Stack & tools
- IntelliJ, VS Code, Git — daily IDE environment and version control
- AWS — compute, storage, networking, CI/CD
- Datadog — logs, metrics, traces and alerts
- Unreal Engine, Blender — real-time graphics and 3D
- Adobe, Canva — production, marketing material
From idea to launch — without lock-ins
No lock-in, transparent hourly reporting and code you own. Book a free meeting to walk through the setup.

How we work
What you get with every development assignment
Transparency, direct contact and full observability — so you know what's happening and can follow along from idea to operations.
Transparency via kanban
Backlog → in progress → done, always visible. You follow the work in real time and pay for what landed in 'done'.
Direct contact every week
Weekly check-in directly with the developer plus ongoing asynchronous updates. No layers of project managers in between.
PR-based delivery
Everything goes through pull requests with code review, automated tests and deploys to staging — no surprises.
Observability in production
Logs, metrics and traces via Datadog so you see how the system actually behaves — troubleshooting becomes minutes, not days.
You own the code and accounts
Git repo, AWS, Datadog and payments are on you — no vendor lock-in, no risk if we stop working together.
Monthly invoicing
€35/h, invoiced monthly for what's delivered. No lock-in, cancel whenever you want.
How it works
From first call to launched site
The timespan depends on scope, but the flow looks the same every time — so you know what happens and when.

Deployment & handover
Production deploy, observability via Datadog and documentation. You own the code and all accounts.
How the collaboration can look
Three modes of collaboration
Choose the mode that fits your project best — and switch between them over time if the need changes.
Scoped project
Fixed price
You know what you want. Scope, deadline and a fixed price are set after a free meeting — then delivery happens.
- Written quote with a clear scope
- Fixed delivery date
- Additions and changes after delivery at an hourly rate
€35/h
Ongoing hourly
For projects where the scope emerges, or where you need a hand on an ongoing basis. Kanban board, monthly invoicing.
- Kanban: backlog → in progress → done
- Direct contact every week
- No lock-in — cancel whenever you want
Per week
Embedded resource
Plugged in as part of your team — your tools, your routines, your stand-ups. Good when you need capacity short-term.
- Full-time or part-time per week
- Adapts to your kanban/scrum flow
- Invoiced monthly in arrears
