How I work · qualify in 48 hours

The first thing you'll see is your idea, half-built — not an invoice.

Most freelancers send you a quote based on a Zoom call. I send you a personalized demo video of your project working, within 48 hours of your brief. You iterate on the demo, not on a contract.

The demo-first model

I build a working sketch of your idea before we agree on anything.

After you send a brief, I record a 2–3 minute walkthrough of your project running: a tiny interactive prototype, the architecture I'd use, the parts I'd push back on, and a rough price. You react. I refine. By the time we scope the real build, you've already seen — and felt — the thing.

The five steps from brief to ship

  1. 01/Brief

    You send me a brief

    Through the quote form: what you're building, who it's for, why now, and any constraints (budget, timeline, tech). Five minutes to write.

  2. 02/Demo video

    I send a personalized demo video within 48 hours

    Loom-style walkthrough with a working prototype of your idea, my proposed approach, and the parts I'd challenge — plus a rough price. If we're not a fit, I say so here.

  3. 03/Feedback

    You send feedback

    What landed, what didn't, what you want different. A voice memo or a few bullets is enough. The point is to react to something concrete, not negotiate over a doc.

  4. 04/Iterate

    I refine the demo

    Usually 1–2 rounds. Once the demo direction is right, we agree on scope, milestones, and price for the real build. No surprises at signing.

  5. 05/Ship

    I ship — with you in the loop

    Bi-weekly progress demos so you see the build evolve. Source code in your GitHub from day one. Documentation and handoff included.

Great fit for
  • Founders with a real idea and a working budget who want to see it built, not described
  • AI / LLM products: agents, RAG, MCP, FHIR — the things I do every day
  • Bilingual (EN / FR-CA) projects — especially Canadian SMBs and Quebec-based teams
  • Projects between $5K and $80K where I can commit 2–8 weeks of focus
Probably not a fit
  • Static brochure / Wordpress sites without dev work — local agencies do this faster and cheaper
  • Sub-$5K work — the demo-first process doesn't pencil out at that scale
  • Design-only, no implementation — I build, I don't just deliver pixels
  • Projects requiring on-site work in a specific city — I'm remote-only

If you can describe it in a paragraph, I can show you a working sketch in 48 hours.

Send me your brief.

Demo video back within 48 hours — or your money back. (It's free, so that's an easy promise.)
