Some non-technical information

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some non-technical FAQ's you may find useful. If you have a question that I haven't answered here, please feel free to contact me.

What kind of projects do you typically work on?

I mainly work across DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering, handling everything from cloud and on-prem infrastructure to building automated deployment pipelines. Whether it’s optimizing processes, designing scalable systems, or developing web apps, I focus on practical solutions that get the job done. I’m always learning and adapting to new tools and approaches to make sure the work I deliver adds real value.


How do you approach new projects?

I start by getting clear on the project’s scope and what needs to be done, both in terms of features and performance. I like to keep things organized using Agile methods - usually SCRUM - and break work down into user stories to make sure I’m building what the client actually needs. Kanban boards help me and the client track progress at a glance. I also make sure to check in often, gathering feedback along the way to keep everything on track and aligned with expectations.


Can you work with a team, or do you prefer to work alone?

I’m equally comfortable working independently and as part of a team. I enjoy pair programming and thrive in collaborative environments. Over my career, I’ve taken on both leadership and supporting roles, all of which have shaped how I approach teamwork and collaboration.


Do you offer consulting services?

Yes, I offer consulting services for businesses needing expertise in software development, Dev(Sec)Ops, and SRE. I can help with project planning, code reviews, SRE audits, and more.


What is your availability for new projects?

My availability can vary depending on my current workload. Please reach out via the contact page, and I’ll get back to you with my current availability.


Do you have experience working with international clients?

Yes, I have worked with clients from various countries and am comfortable collaborating across different time zones. Effective communication is essential, and I make it a priority to stay in regular contact.


What programming languages and technologies do you use?

I work with a range of programming and scripting languages, picking whichever best fits the project’s needs. On the infrastructure side, I use virtualization, container technologies, and cloud platforms as appropriate. For infrastructure and configuration, I prefer infrastructure-as-code approaches to keep things documented, customizable, and consistent. This has helped me deliver scalable, reliable solutions and reduce human error.


How do you handle project documentation?

I make a point of maintaining detailed documentation throughout the lifecycle of a project. This includes code comments and docstrings, user manuals, and deployment guides to ensure that the project is well-documented and easy to maintain.


What are your payment terms?

Payment terms are typically negotiated based on the project scope and duration. I generally require a portion of the payment upfront, with the remainder due upon completion of milestones or the project.
