What should a first message include?

The problem, the constraint and the deadline. What is failing or what you are trying to build, what cannot change - platform, budget, existing codebase, compliance requirements - and when it needs to be working. A short message with those three things is more useful than a long specification without them.

What types of engagement do you take on?

Platform architecture and re-architecture, performance and scalability work, WordPress VIP compliance and audits, AI agent and RAG implementation, full-stack Next.js and React builds, commerce engineering on WooCommerce and Shopify, workflow automation, and technical consulting alongside an existing team.

Do you take on audits as well as builds?

Yes, and an audit is often the better starting point. A short, evidence-based review of what is actually wrong is cheaper than committing to a rebuild that may not be the right answer - and if the audit shows the platform does not need rebuilding, that is a useful result.

What time zone do you work in?

India Standard Time, UTC+5:30, working with teams across Europe and North America. Communication is written-first so that work does not queue behind an overlap window.
