FAQ

Frequent questions

How do we start?

In a no-strings call we discuss goals, constraints, and possible next steps.

Do you work with existing teams?

Yes — I work closely with your developers, project managers, and stakeholders to get the best result. My goal is to strengthen your team, not replace it.

Which technologies do you cover?

I bring experience in e-commerce, CMS, cloud, and integration projects (AEM, Adobe Commerce, Craft CMS, Node.js, Kubernetes, and more). For stacks outside my focus areas I'm honest up front.

With 15+ years in software architecture, e-commerce, CMS, and complex system landscapes, I make sure your projects rest on a stable technical and organizational foundation — and stay successful.
