§ Services

Three things I do well

01

Legacy .NET modernization

.NET Framework, Web Forms and old MVC apps moved to modern .NET step by step, while the business keeps running.

  • Code and dependency review with a written upgrade plan and fixed quote
  • .NET Framework to modern .NET, ASP.NET MVC and Web Forms to ASP.NET Core
  • WCF services to REST or gRPC APIs, Entity Framework 6 to EF Core
Fixed quote after a free callDetails

02

AI integration & automation

AI added to your existing .NET, Node.js or small business app: chatbots on your own data, document processing and small AI automations.

  • A chatbot or search that answers from your own documents and data
  • Reading PDFs, emails and invoices into structured data in your database
  • AI features inside .NET (Semantic Kernel, OpenAI SDK) or Node.js apps

03

Full-stack development

React, Next.js and Node.js apps, APIs and dashboards, plus fixes for bugs, slow pages and broken builds or deploys.

  • New web apps, dashboards and admin panels
  • REST APIs in Node.js with PostgreSQL, MySQL or MongoDB
  • Moving a React app to Next.js, or Pages Router to App Router

§ Questions

How much does a project cost?

Small fixes start at $150 and AI features at $400. .NET migrations are quoted after a free code review. You always get a fixed price before work starts.

Can you add AI to an app you did not build?

Yes. Chatbots, AI search and document processing are added through an API and a small UI component, so the rest of your app stays as it is.

Do you work with old .NET applications?

Yes. .NET Framework, Web Forms and MVC apps are moved to modern .NET in stages, so the app keeps running during the move.

How do payments work?

For fixed-price work, half up front and half on delivery. Small fixes are paid on delivery.
