Custom Web / Mobile Development + Security AuditingI've worked with over a dozen start-ups beginning with initial concepts and built them products they could launch to customers. I work with entrepreneurs to devise a cost-effective way to build their product quickly. This allows them to test the market and gain traction making it easier to raise capital. Typically I look for 2+ month projects and have designers and junior developers I can leverage to provide affordable, turnkey solutions.
