What I'm Passionate About

I love what I do. I take great pride in what I do. And I can't do something halfway, three-quarters, nine-tenths. If I'm going to do something, I go all the way.

1. Product and project strategy consultancy

Project strategy consulting with straight forward 5 outcomes whats:
- What is the market situation for a product you would like to build
- What technologies are the best fit for MVP
- What is the time complexity
- What is the cost and running cost for it
- What are the people to connect with to increase chances for success

2. Branding

This is most important as good as product itself. Consultancy with 5 outcomes whats:
- What is the best digital marketing strategy for your product
- What tools to use to measure progress
- What is your first product campaign
- What public hosting to use
- What is the best domain address for going public

3. UI Design

I am using the best practices in building User Interface by following User Experience and the latest trends.

4. Social Media Integration

Part of my experience is the ability to work with all sort of social media public APIs. I help you to integrate your product between the social media and virtual people world. Go on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. , and don't forget on emails!

5. Development

Bring it on! My experience helps you keep a initial budget as low as is necessary in varanty of using the latest Microsoft technologies.

6. Consulting

The last stage of project is about to clarify where the product will be living it's life , how to test the product and how to achieve automatization for deployment in way to reduce human hours on sitting behind the desk. Just relax, what ever is possible is going to be automated!

Work Process

As a human being, I'm work in progress.

I have done several projects from the beginning to the phase of launching to the production. Each phase causes good and bad times, positive attitude and frustration. You can prevent many scenarios from past experience but not all of them. Obstacles are going to be on the path of bringing ideas from the paper to reality.

1. Idea
2. Sketch
3. Design/Architecture
4. Development
5. Testing
6. Launch

And more important thing is the celebration of each success!
