Technical Help

Bring me the problem. I’ll tell you if I can help.

Bugs, integrations, plugins, automations, converters and awkward software workflows. You talk directly to the person doing the work. I only take on tasks after I understand them well enough to believe I can finish and test them properly.

English and Greek are direct working languages. Other languages are not offered on this launch candidate. Changing language or reloading clears this local draft.
Async-only communication

Everything is handled in writing: task brief, clarification, scope, progress updates, delivery and acceptance. Communication is asynchronous and written only. No calls, video meetings, live screen sharing or live coding/pair programming.

Good-fit work

Bug fixing & debugging

Reproducible defects, regressions and root-cause investigation.

Web & responsive repairs

JavaScript/PHP/browser/mobile layout and interaction issues.

Automation & integrations

Small API/workflow connections and reliability improvements.

Plugins & utilities

Narrow extensions, companion tools and supported integrations.

Data bridges

Import/export, converters, migrations and structured-data helpers.

Workflow reliability

Duplicate actions, retries, idempotency and reconciliation.

Current work, shown as problems solved

Problem → fix

Mobile browser UI became unreachable

Emberstead’s colony panels could not be reliably navigated on narrow portrait screens. I reworked scroll regions, responsive cards and touch navigation while preserving desktop behavior.

Evidence: shipped browser release and mobile portrait devlog. This owned project is not paid client work; the checks do not establish universal device coverage.
Problem → fix

Automated actions can duplicate or become ambiguous

IncomeOps / BountyEdge models state and lifecycle transitions, exact action intent, approval binding, idempotency and ambiguous-result reconciliation with append-only SQLite/event evidence.

Reported Phase 0B validation: 51 passing tests after an independent critic pass on an isolated local engineering candidate. This is not hosted SaaS or a customer production deployment.
Public proof

Merged upstream contribution

A bounded documentation fix for an external open-source project was reviewed and merged upstream after maintainer approval.

Evidence: merged upstream contribution open-covenant/covenant#286. Merge status does not establish payment.

You talk directly to the person doing the work.

No sales team or hidden hand-off. I review the request, scope it, build/test it and communicate the result directly.

How it works

1. Quick briefJust enough to understand the problem.
2. Fit reviewLikely fit, clarify, or reject.
3. Technical detailsOnly if worth scoping further.
4. Agree scopeDeliverable, acceptance, timing and price.
5. Build & testValidate against the agreed path.

Common questions

Do we need a call?

No. The service is intentionally asynchronous and written-first. If a task genuinely requires live communication, it is not a fit.

What if I don’t know what is broken?

Use the diagnostic route. Describe what you were trying to do, what happened instead and when it started. A bounded diagnosis can be the first task.

Do you use AI-assisted development?

Where permitted, yes. AI tools may assist implementation or analysis, but I remain responsible for reviewing, testing and validating the delivered result.

What should I never send in the first message?

Passwords, API keys, session cookies, private keys or seed phrases, production database dumps, banking/tax data, or confidential customer records.

What happens if the task is not a fit?

I will narrow it, suggest a diagnostic first, or decline it. I would rather reject a task than overpromise.

How are updates handled?

In writing. You receive clear scope confirmation, material blocker/progress updates when needed, and a delivery summary with verification evidence.

Describe your task

Submitting a request is not acceptance, a quote or a commitment. Any fit outcome is preliminary qualification only, not a guarantee. I only quote or accept after the scope is clear enough to validate properly.

Never include passwords, cookies, API keys, private keys/seed phrases, production dumps, banking/tax details or confidential customer records in the initial request. Do not include other credentials or secrets, including unnecessary private customer records.
Your draft stays in this tab until you choose Send request. Fit review is local; only the generated brief is submitted.

If you do not know something, say so rather than guessing.
