How it works

- I reply within one working day with the scope confirmed, the dates, the fee in writing, and a payment link or bank details.

Questions before you book
How do I book and pay?
Click Ask for a quote on the service, or email me with the service name. I reply with the scope, the dates and the fee in writing, then a payment link or bank details. Work starts once payment is received and a receipt is issued for every payment.
How is the fee set?
Every service has a fixed scope. I send the fee in writing together with the scope, usually within one working day, and nothing is paid until you have both. If your situation is bigger than the scope, I say so before you pay.
Do you work on-site or remotely?
Both. On-site in Dubai, Sharjah and across the UAE. Remote for the wider Gulf, Pakistan and international companies. Dubai time, GMT+4.
Can you do this alongside your day job?
Yes. Work is done outside my employer's hours or by arrangement, never for a competitor of my employer, and every deliverable has a written date you can hold me to.
What if I need something not listed?
Email the problem in a few lines. If I am the right person I will scope and quote it; if I am not, I will say so and suggest who is.
