Three ways to work with me
Most people start with the audit. It is cheap compared with building the wrong thing.
Audit
I look at one process from start to finish, with the people who do it. You get a written report: what happens now, where the time goes, what I would automate, what I would fix by hand first, and what it would cost to build. You can take the report to anyone.
Paid, one fixed price
About a week
Build
A workflow, a chatbot or a business app. The scope and the price are fixed before I start, and they come from the audit. You see it working on a test environment first. It goes live when you say so.
Fixed price per workflow or app
Weeks, not quarters
Keep it running
Monitoring, backups, updates and small changes. If something breaks at night, I know before you do. You can cancel per month.
Maintenance per month
Cancel per month
Price after a short call. I need to hear what the process is before I can name a number that I will keep to.
What I will not automate, or check first
I would rather lose a job than build something I have to apologise for six months later.
- A process that nobody can explain to me.If three people describe it three ways, software will only make the confusion faster. First we agree on how it should go. Often that is the whole job.
- A model that decides about money or stock on its own.A model is good with language. Prices, totals and stock levels get checked by plain rules in code, and anything that does not match goes to a person.
- A chatbot that pretends to be a person.It says what it is, and it hands over to a human when the customer asks or when it does not know.
- Bulk messages to people who did not ask for them.No scraped lists, no cold WhatsApp campaigns. It gets numbers blocked and it is not how I want to work.
- Design, ads and SEO.I build what happens after the customer writes in. For the part before that, you need someone else.
Working with someone in Lima
Lima is on UTC-5 all year. For Europe that means my morning is your afternoon, and what you send at the end of your day is done when you start the next one. For the Americas I am simply in your working day.
I write things down: what we agreed, what I built, what I tested and what I did not test. You will not have to ask where things stand.

Tell me what goes wrong on a normal Tuesday.
Thirty minutes, video or phone. You describe one process that costs you time. I ask questions and tell you honestly whether I would automate it, fix it first, or leave it alone. No slides.
Lima time, UTC-5. I reply within one working day, in English, Dutch or Spanish.
Open to remote roles and to projects.
