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
When you press a button below, your name, email, company, service and note are sent to my inbox through Google (Apps Script and Gmail) so I can reply. Nothing you type here is sent to Analytics. If the request cannot be sent, your own email client opens with it written out instead.
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 request. 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.
