Pricing Built on Purpose
10+ years of enterprise experience. Senior-level full-stack development. Pricing designed to make quality work accessible while honoring a legacy that matters.
Why These Rates?
Senior full-stack developers with this experience typically charge $120-175/hour. But my pricing is set to honor Alicia Mae—born at 4:25 AM on June 14, 2025. She lived four months and taught us that life's greatest gift is the love we share with one another.
When you work with me, you're not just getting exceptional development—you're supporting a family legacy and a mission to help other families who've experienced infant loss.

The Numbers Have Meaning
You'll notice our pricing reflects significant numbers: $4,250 (4:25 AM when she was born), $8,500 (2× that time), $21,250 (5× that time), $25,500 (6× that time). These aren't arbitrary—they're reminders that behind every project is a purpose, a story, and a commitment to turn grief into meaningful action.
