Why This Pricing Model?
🤝 Mutual Protection
I have the experience—10+ years managing enterprise infrastructure, 35+ client relationships, near-zero downtime migrations. But no public portfolio footprint yet. This pricing removes risk while we build trust and I demonstrate the value I bring.
⚡ Flexible Engagement
Month-to-month means you're never locked in. No complicated contracts or hidden fees. You pay for actual work delivered at a rate that lets you test the waters. As the relationship and value become clear, the pricing reflects enterprise-level expertise.
The reality: I can command more, and I will as the portfolio grows—but right now, this approach lets us prove the fit without the risk.
