KhaqanBook a session
Pick a free slot in the calendar below, fill in four short fields, and the button opens your email client with the date, time and service already written. The calendar opens 3 days from today, runs 60 days ahead, and every time on it is Dubai time. I open two or three times a day and they move around, so check the day you want. I take 3 sessions a week at most, so once a week is full the rest of it closes.
I hold a full-time role as Head of IT in Dubai, so consulting happens outside those hours: weekdays from 17:00 and weekends from 08:00, Dubai time.
Availability
All times are Dubai time, GMT+4. If you are somewhere else, the equivalent in your own time is shown once you pick a slot.
The calendar needs JavaScript. If it does not appear, email me with the day and time you would like and I will confirm from the same list.
free slots fully booked not available
Only a few times a day are open for booking, because these sessions sit around a full-time job and I hold the rest of the evening back. Each slot is 60 minutes. Days marked not available are inside the 3 day lead time, days I am away, or days already taken. If nothing on the calendar suits you, use the priority request and tell me what you need.
Your details
Nothing is stored and nothing is sent from this page. The buttons below open your own email client with the details written into the message, and you send it yourself.
Priority requests
A priority request is for work that cannot wait: a session outside the normal windows, or sooner than the 3 day lead time. It carries a higher fee, because taking it means rearranging my own commitments. I quote that fee in writing before anything is agreed, and if I cannot give the work the time it needs I will say no rather than do it badly. Use the button above and tell me what the deadline is and why.
What happens next
- You send the pre-filled email. The slot is not held yet.
- I reply within one working day, confirm the slot or offer the nearest alternative, and send the fee in writing.
- You pay in advance, then you get a calendar invite with the meeting link.
- Written notes follow within 24 hours of the session.
Questions about booking
Why is availability only evenings and weekends?
Because that is when I am genuinely free. I hold a full-time role as Head of IT in Dubai and I consult around it, so weekday slots start at 17:00 Dubai time and weekend slots start at 08:00. I would rather show you the hours I can keep than book a time I would have to move.
How far ahead should I book?
The calendar opens 3 days from today and runs 60 days ahead. The 3 day lead time is there so I can read whatever you send before we speak, which is usually the difference between a useful hour and an introduction.
What happens after I pick a slot?
The button opens your own email client with the date, time, service and your note already written. Nothing is held until I reply. I answer within one working day, confirm the slot or offer the nearest alternative, and send the fee in writing. Once that is agreed you get a calendar invite with the meeting link.
What is a priority request?
It is a request for a session outside the normal windows, or sooner than the 3 day lead time, for work that cannot wait. It carries a higher fee because it means rearranging my own commitments. The fee is quoted in writing first, and if I cannot do the work properly in the time available I will say so and turn it down.
