How is this different from just hiring an in-house engineer?+–
You get a full team — design, backend, and infrastructure — without the hiring cycle, benefits overhead, or ramp-up time. You can also scale the team up or down as the project moves through different phases.
Do you work with an existing codebase, or only new builds?+–
Both. Some engagements start from a blank page; others start by auditing and extending something you already have. We'll tell you honestly if a rebuild makes more sense than extending what's there.
What does the process actually look like?+–
Discovery and scoping first, then architecture and design in parallel, then build in short iterations with regular check-ins along the way.
Who owns the code once the project is done?+–
You do. Source code, infrastructure configuration, and documentation are handed over as part of the engagement.
What if our requirements change partway through?+–
Expected, not exceptional. We scope in phases specifically so priorities can shift without blowing up the whole plan.
Do you sign NDAs?+–
Yes, before we even discuss specifics if you'd like — just ask.
