How I Work

Objectives

We begin by discussing your business objectives. What results are you trying to accomplish? What would be the return on investment? How much would you gain on your competition? We'll figure out what you need.

Measures

How will we measure progress towards your objectives? When can we say "mission accomplished?" How will we report on our results against the objectives? Measures of success are critical in signifying the successful completion of a project.

Value

What will our results mean for your business? How would the results impact your bottom line? How would you, personally, be better off? What if the project fails? Even intangible results matter.

Delivery

Throughout your project's implementation, we will be in constant contact. I use proven techniques, such as Test-Driven Development, and frameworks like Ruby on Rails to ensure quality throughout your solution.
