What happens after the call?+
If there's a fit, I'll send a written scope document within 48 hours — what I'd deliver, roughly how long it takes, and a fixed price or day-rate estimate. No pressure, no follow-up cadence. You reply when you're ready.
Do I need to prep anything?+
No deck required. Just know roughly what problem you're trying to solve. I'll ask the right questions. If you have existing architecture docs, Terraform code, or a CI/CD setup you want me to review, sharing those before the call is useful but not required.
What if my project is too small? Or too big?+
I'll tell you honestly. For very small one-off tasks (a single Terraform module, a quick security review), I'll tell you whether a short engagement makes sense or whether you'd be better served by documentation and doing it yourself. For large projects that need a full team, I'll be direct about whether that's better run through NxtAuric.
Is this really free?+
Yes. I don't charge for discovery calls. My time is the investment — if we figure out quickly that we're not a fit, that's fine. I'd rather you know that before any money changes hands.
I prefer async. Can I just email you?+
Absolutely. Use the contact form to send a project brief — describe what you're building, your stack, and your rough timeline. I'll reply within 24 hours with questions or a proposed scope.
