How does the project onboarding process work?
We start with a complimentary 15–20 minute discovery call to understand your goals,
requirements, and technical constraints. Afterward, I provide a detailed proposal covering
technical architecture, timeline milestones, and deliverables. Once approved, development begins
immediately in agile sprints.
How do you protect private company data when building AI models?
Data privacy is our top priority. We use zero-retention enterprise LLM endpoints, local
open-source models (such as Llama / Mistral) deployed within your private VPC, or self-hosted
vector databases. Your sensitive company data is never used to train public models, and all
interactions are encrypted.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You do. 100% of the source code, designs, documentation, and intellectual property belong
completely to you and your company upon milestone completion.
What is the typical timeline for an MVP or custom web application?
Most MVPs and custom web systems take between 2 to 6 weeks from kickoff to production launch,
depending on the complexity of features, integrations, and AI pipelines. We establish
transparent weekly sprint goals so you always know where things stand.
Do you provide post-launch maintenance and support?
Yes! Every fixed-scope project includes a 30-day warranty period for bug fixes and adjustments.
For ongoing feature development, infrastructure monitoring, and continuous improvements, we
offer flexible monthly engineering retainer packages.
Are you GDPR compliant? Can EU companies work with you?
Absolutely. All AI/ML systems I build are GDPR-ready with Privacy by Design
(Article 25) as a core principle. EU data residency options are available (e.g., hosting in
Frankfurt or Amsterdam AWS regions). All engagement contracts can include a Data
Processing Agreement (DPA) as required by GDPR Article 28. Your data is never used
to train public models, and all interactions are encrypted at rest and in transit.
What timezone do you work in? Can we have real-time overlap?
I'm based in India (IST, UTC+5:30) but maintain flexible overlap hours to serve
Western clients: European morning coverage (6AM–2PM UTC) and US East Coast morning (2AM–10AM
EST). I provide same-day async replies via Slack/email and scheduled weekly live video syncs at
a mutually convenient time. Timezone has never been a barrier for any of my international
clients.
How do you handle payments? Can we pay in EUR, GBP, or USD?
Yes — I accept payments in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, PLN, and more via
Stripe, Wise (TransferWise), or direct bank transfer. Proper invoices are
issued with full VAT/tax compliance depending on your jurisdiction. For EU B2B clients,
reverse-charge VAT rules apply. All billing is transparent, milestone-based, and clearly
documented upfront.
