FAQ
Common questions before we work together.
If you are comparing automation help, Rails consulting, Shopify work, internal tools, or ongoing technical support, this should help you sort out the basics.
The short version: I am a fit when an important workflow needs clearer technical thinking and someone who can actually build the fix.
What kinds of automation projects are a fit?
Good fits include replacing spreadsheet workflows, connecting systems, building internal tools, automating approvals, cleaning operational data, syncing Shopify or accounting data, and improving Rails apps that run part of the business.
Do we need to know exactly what software to build?
No. Many projects start with a messy business process, not a clean feature request. I can help map the workflow, find the clearest path, and decide what should be automated first.
Do you work with non-technical businesses?
Yes. A lot of my best work is with operators who know the business well and need a technical partner to turn the workflow into software.
What kinds of Rails consulting projects are a fit?
Good fits include shipping Rails features, cleaning up architecture, debugging production issues, improving performance, building admin tools, connecting APIs, and getting stalled delivery moving again.
Do you work on Shopify and e-commerce systems?
Yes. I work on Shopify-connected Rails apps, custom Shopify workflows, webhooks, fulfillment tools, commission systems, reporting, and revenue operations.
Do you offer ongoing technical leadership help?
Yes, when that is what the business needs. I can help with roadmap tradeoffs, architecture, vendor choices, scope, delivery, and technical decisions.
Still not sure what you need?
That is normal. A lot of useful software work starts by naming the problem clearly.
