Independent .NET software practice
Custom .NET development and dependable support for business-critical applications.
I build custom .NET business applications, support and maintain the systems you already run, and modernise older software without a risky all-at-once rebuild.
A 30-minute call, no charge.
- People feel helped, not handed off
- Problems become clear and actionable
- Technology feels modern and trustworthy
- The next step is obvious
What you can hire me for
Build it, support it, or bring it up to date.
Each of these opens into a page with the scope, the deliverables and how the work runs. Most engagements touch more than one.
Fixed-scope starting point
A technical assessment of the system you already run.
I review the codebase, infrastructure and risks and give you a written report. From there we both know whether an ongoing plan or a modernisation makes sense — and you own the report either way.
- Review of the codebase, infrastructure and risks
- Written assessment: what to keep, replace, and in what order
- Framework, runtime and dependency upgrade path
- Duration
- Typically a week
- Price
- Quoted after a short call
What happens after you send this
A reply within one business day
No mailing list, no CRM sequence. Just a reply.
A 30-minute call, no charge
To work out whether the problem is one I should be taking on. If it isn't, I can usually point you somewhere better.
A written quote or report
A fixed-price quote covers the scope written into it. An assessment ends in a written report, and you own the report either way.
Anything you tell me stays confidential, and client data is never used to train models. Read the terms.
