Common questions

What is your hourly rate or typical project cost?

$60 USD per hour (€50 EUR, $90 AUD). Flexible engagement models: hourly for on-demand work, project-based for fixed scope, or monthly retainer (20-40 hours/month) for ongoing support.

What time zones do you work across?

USA (EST/CST/PST), Europe (GMT/CET), and Australia (AEST). Flexible scheduling for real-time collaboration and comfortable with asynchronous communication for efficient remote work.

Do you offer ongoing support after project completion?

Yes. Many clients engage me on a monthly retainer for ongoing security architecture guidance, security reviews, and support as their Azure environments evolve. This is discussed during the initial scoping.

What if we need on-site presence?

While most engagements are 100% remote, I can accommodate occasional on-site workshops for critical design sessions or stakeholder alignment. Travel costs would be separate from project fees.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, I'm happy to sign mutual NDAs. All client information is treated as confidential regardless.
