Before We Write a Single Line of Code, We Need to Know Exactly What to Build
The most valuable part of a project happens before any code: understanding the problem well. That's what consulting is for, so we build the right thing from the start.
How a Discovery session works
It's an honest conversation, with no pressure, to understand your business and propose the solution that truly serves you.
Discovery session
A 5–8 minute conversation where you tell me what your business needs, which problems you want to solve, and what results you expect. Simple and direct.
Technical analysis
I review your current systems, your functional and non-functional requirements, and any integrations you'll need. Then I propose the architecture that fits your specific case.
Detailed proposal
A technical spec with exact scope, chosen technologies, delivery milestones, and a fixed price, clear from the start.
Informed decision
With everything laid out, you decide whether we move forward. If the budget isn't there yet, I'll tell you honestly how to get there. No pressure: only what you truly need.
How I walk with you at this stage
No unnecessary jargon
I explain your options in business terms, not code. What to expect, when, how much, and why. So the decision is yours, not something you take on faith because I said so.
Complete requirements gathering
Defining what's needed from the start avoids surprises and costly changes later. That's what Discovery is for.
Honest alternatives
Sometimes what you need isn't a six-month custom build. If there's a simpler, more effective solution, I'll tell you, even if it means less work for me.
A clear quote
After Discovery you get the real number for the project, not a wide range that leaves you guessing.
A Discovery session makes sense if…
- You have a clear picture of the problem but not the technical solution
- You've already been burned by a project that cost more than it was quoted
- You need to validate that your project is feasible before investing in development
- Your company needs to modernize legacy systems with controlled risk
- You want to add AI or automation but don't know where to start
- You need a technical proposal to present to executives or investors
No cost, no strings attached
The Discovery session is free because I believe it should be. If we don't move forward afterward, you still walk away knowing what your project needs. That alone has value. I'm based in Chile and work on US time zones, so we can talk during your business hours.

What you might be wondering
Is the Discovery session really free?
Yes, the Discovery session is free with no obligation: it takes 5 to 8 minutes and confirms what your project needs and whether we're a fit. For complex e-commerce, platforms, biometrics, or integrations, the next step is a paid technical Discovery, from $900, covering scope, risks, architecture, and estimate. If you hire the project within 30 days, that amount is credited.
What exactly happens in a Discovery session?
You tell me about your business, the problem you want to solve, or the idea you want to build. I ask the relevant technical questions: who the users are, which integrations you need, what you already have in place. At the end, I give you a clear assessment: which technology makes sense, what the risks are, estimated timelines, and an investment range.
Why would I need consulting if I already know what I want?
Knowing what you want and knowing how to build it well are two different things. Technical consulting prevents the most expensive mistakes: picking the wrong technology, underestimating scope, building something that doesn't scale, or hiring someone who can't deliver. An hour of consulting can save you months of rework.
Can I hire you for consulting only, without development?
Yes. If you already have an in-house development team or you're evaluating options, I can act as an external technical consultant: reviewing architectures, auditing existing code, evaluating vendor proposals, or advising on technology decisions. Scope and quote are defined after the initial session.
How do I know if my idea is technically feasible?
That's exactly what the Discovery session is for. In many cases the idea is feasible but the scope is sized wrong. In others, there's a simpler solution that costs half as much. Consulting turns technical uncertainty into clarity you can act on.
