A developer by the hour, with no employment contract and no agency

You pay 200 PLN net for each hour actually worked. Packages of 10 and 25 hours are cheaper. Scope, estimate and an hours report come in writing.

Who is this for?

I help companies that have code or a website and need a pair of hands for specific tasks, not a project from scratch.

You have a site or app and a list of fixes

The things nobody wants to do for a few hundred zloty: a form, a filter, an integration, a bug after an update. I estimate hours, do the work, report.

A team without a permanent developer

A full-time hire is not worth it and an agency wants a 5,000 PLN minimum. You buy 10 hours and use them when needed.

An agency or freelancer needs backup

Backend, integrations, tracking, server deployment. I work in your repository and by your rules.

Why hourly billing

A small change in someone else's code often takes two hours, yet an agency prices it as a project. Or nobody takes the task because it is too small.

Hourly billing is fair both ways: you pay for work, not for a markup on a quote. You get an estimate before the start and a report of what was done afterwards.

How hourly work goes

Request, estimate, delivery, report. No meetings that change nothing.

1

Request

You describe the task by email or in the form. You give repository and environment access only after accepting the estimate.

2

Estimate

I reply with an hour range and a deadline. If the task grows, I tell you before the estimate is exceeded.

3

Delivery

I work on a separate branch with a pull request for review. I test before handing over.

4

Report

You get a list of changes and the hours. The invoice follows completion, broken down by task.

What else the hours include

  • A code review and a short note on how the change affects the rest of the site.
  • Deployment to a server or hosting if you need it.
  • Change documentation in the pull request description.
  • Answers to follow-up questions after the task, 30 minutes at no charge.
  • The option to move to a retainer if tasks become regular.

Why me and not a freelancer platform

On platforms the lowest rate wins, not the best fit. I work under my own name, with a portfolio and references you can check.

One person is responsible for the code, the contact and the deadline. Tasks are not passed between people.
