I provide software consultancy and also take development projects especially in Rust, C++ for systems and in Python/PHP/TS (Data/Web/SaaS). I also conduct technical interviews. Please eyeball my GitHub for a proof of competence.
Detailed T&C are available on request. A brief T&C are available at the end of this page.
My rate depends on the scope and requirement of the project and can vary from Rs. 2000 to 5000 per hour depending on the locking period, support needed, infra and skill-sets required. I prefer 3 to 6 months long projects with a weekly cadence update over email or other async channels.

Terms of services
I like to keep things simple. Here is how I work and what you can expect when we collaborate on a project.
We’ll agree on a Statement of Work (SOW) before I start. If you need to change the plan halfway through, no problem! We’ll just chat about how that affects the price and the timeline.
Money & Milestones
- Payments: Usually, I work with a [30/40/30] split: an upfront deposit to start, a mid-point payment, and the final balance before hand-off.
- Late Fees: If an invoice is more than 7 days late, I’ll have to hit “pause” on the project until we’re back on track.
- Taxes: If you’re in India, GST applies. For international clients, we’ll stick to the agreed-upon currency.
Who Owns What?
- The Code: Once you’ve paid in full, the custom code is 100% yours.
- My Tools: I use some of my own “starter kits” and libraries to speed things up. You get a forever license to use them in your project, but I keep the rights to the underlying tools.
- Show & Tell: I love showing off my work! I’ll assume it’s okay to add our project to my portfolio unless you tell me otherwise.
Support & Warranty
I’m human, and bugs happen. I offer a 30-day bug-fix period after delivery to squash any issues that don’t match our original plan. If a third-party API or your hosting provider changes something after I’m done, I can help fix it at my standard hourly rate.
The Exit Strategy
Either of us can end the project with 14 days’ notice. If we part ways, you just pay for the work I’ve completed up to that date.
Legal Stuff
My total liability is capped at the amount you’ve paid for the project. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any disputes will be handled in the courts of Bengaluru.
