You know what your business needs. I turn it into a plan and a system.
More than a developer, less than an agency: one senior consultant who scopes it, prices it, builds it, and hands it over running, with 12+ years of shipped production software behind every decision.

Start where you are
Three situations bring most people here
You run the business on spreadsheets and email
Quoting, scheduling, or job tracking lives in Excel and somebody's head. It worked at five people. It is breaking at fifteen.
Replace the duct tape →You have something half-built
A freelancer disappeared, or an AI tool got you 70% of the way. Now you need someone to finish it properly and make it safe to rely on.
Get it finished →Your systems don't talk to each other
The CRM, the accounting tool, and the ops spreadsheet each hold a piece of the truth. People re-type data between them every day.
Connect them →How the engagement runs
The plan comes first
Whichever situation brings you here, the engagement runs the same way: I scope it, I price it, I build it, and I hand it over running. Scoping comes first because it is how I make sure the thing that gets built is the thing your business actually needs.
How the work actually flows, and what deserves software.
- workflow map
- backlog
- wireframes
- architecture
- estimate
- decision memo
From my own plan, at my own estimate. The focused core goes to production first, then stages your team can absorb.
Deployed, monitored, documented. Code in your repository, every account and credential in your name.
Field-service workflow: build vs buy
An off-the-shelf field-service tool covers about 90% of this workflow for $79 a month. The remaining 10% does not justify a custom build at ten times the cost. Configure the tool, connect it to invoicing, and revisit in a year with real usage data.

The memo will tell you the truth, including "don't build"
Every engagement produces a decision memo: the reasoning behind every major tradeoff, written so you can challenge it. Some engagements end exactly like this page, with advice to spend less. The memo is the deliverable either way.
Who you'll work with
One person, accountable
portrait pending
Me. That is the point. I'm Ever Barreto, the principal and the person who does the work: the scoping, the architecture, and most of the code. The person you talk to on the first call is the person who ships the system. When a project needs more hands, I bring in collaborators I have shipped with before, and I stay accountable for the result.
I work from Asunción, Paraguay, UTC-3. My working day overlaps almost completely with US Eastern time, and by four to five hours with the UK.
Tell me what you're trying to build
Three or four sentences about your situation is enough. If it is a fit, my reply will include concrete observations, not a canned pitch.
