How We Work Together

A transparent process from first conversation to production launch

01

Discovery & Scoping

We define goals, requirements, and timeline. I ask the right questions to fully understand your vision, constraints, and target users before writing a single line of code.

02

Architecture & Planning

I design the technical architecture, select the optimal stack, and create a clear plan with milestones. No surprises — you know what's being built and when to expect it.

03

Development & Delivery

Iterative development with regular check-ins and staging previews. You see real progress throughout, not just a finished product at the end.

04

Launch & Support

Thorough testing, production deployment, and full handover. Ongoing maintenance and support available so your platform stays healthy long after launch.

AS
Avram Sand, PMP Program & Delivery Leadership, Manager
Artem was a top flight Drupal backend developer when I worked with him. Since then his reputation in the Drupal community has grown, and I've seen a lot of his work. He is an excellent developer, and easy to work with. Quick and eager to learn.
CV

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions before we kick off a project

How quickly can you start?

Typically within a few days of our first call. I keep capacity available for new engagements so you're not waiting weeks to get started.

Do you work with startups or enterprises?

Both. I've built platforms for global universities and law firms, and worked with smaller teams on focused initiatives. The engineering rigour doesn't change — only the pace and scope.

What's your typical engagement model?

Hourly for ongoing work and retainers; fixed-price for well-defined projects. I'm flexible — we'll find the model that suits your project and budget best.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, happy to sign an NDA before any detailed scoping conversation. Send your template and I'll review and return it promptly.

How do you use AI in your workflow?

Both as a daily productivity tool and as a technology I integrate into products — LLMs, RAG pipelines, intelligent automation. I've built AI-powered applications for real users, not just prototypes.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Post-launch maintenance and enhancement retainers are available so production issues and feature requests are handled by someone who already knows the codebase inside out.
