Questions et réponses
What kinds of projects do you take on?
Web and mobile applications, business tools, automations between software and APIs, along with their hosting and maintenance. I don't build showcase sites or online stores: I solve tool and process problems.
Where do I start if I don't know what needs doing?
With an audit: I review your tools and hand you a costed action plan, from €900 excl. VAT.
Are your prices really fixed?
Yes. Every project is priced on a written scope approved before work starts. If you want to add something along the way, I price it separately, and you decide.
What does a typical project look like?
A workshop to understand your need, a short specification you approve, step-by-step development with a demo at each step, go-live with a hands-on handover, then a 30-day warranty.
Do you provide hosting?
Yes, with the maintenance and hosting offer, on OVH servers, with daily backups and monitoring. You can also keep your current hosting: maintenance is then available on its own.
Can I reach you at night or on weekends?
No. Requests are handled on business days, by email. I don't offer on-call support: I would rather say so plainly than promise what I can't deliver on my own.
Do you use artificial intelligence?
Yes, it's at the heart of my method. I build with Claude, Anthropic's AI: it writes the code under my direction, and no line ships until I've reviewed and validated it, with automated tests on every change. I also bring AI into your tools when it genuinely solves a problem: reading documents, sorting requests, extracting data.
Who is responsible if something goes wrong?
I am. The code I deliver is my responsibility, whether it was written by hand or with AI, with the same 30-day warranty on custom applications.
Is my data sent to an AI?
Your secrets (passwords, access keys) and your customers' personal data are never sent to an AI model. For everything else, we agree together, during scoping, on what may be.
Which technologies do you use?
Mainly TypeScript (React, Next.js, Angular, Svelte) and Node.js/Bun, as well as Go, Rust and PHP, for applications, PostgreSQL or MariaDB for data, Docker, Traefik, Apache, Nginx, Debian, Ubuntu and Proxmox for infrastructure. The choice always follows the project's constraints, and favors what will stay maintainable.
Do you work remotely?
Yes, everything is done remotely: I work fully remote, and workshops and debriefs happen by video call. I don't work on hardware or provide on-site troubleshooting.
Can you take over an existing application?
Yes. I start with an audit of your application to know exactly what I'm taking on, then tell you whether it is better to fix it or rebuild it. A takeover is possible even without documentation.
Who owns the delivered code?
The delivered code is entirely yours once the final payment is received. You are free to modify it, redistribute it, or hand it to another developer.
