What I Bring to Your Team
For Small Businesses → Legacy Application Caretaking & Risk Mitigation: When your original developer quits, retires, or goes quiet, mission-critical operations are left vulnerable. I step in as a dedicated fractional Django caretaker to take over legacy Django apps. Through a predictable monthly Django web application maintenance retainer, I handle ongoing Python/Django application support, database updates, and server security, eliminating single-point-of-failure risks so your business stays operational.
For MSP Partners → An Invisible White-Label Software Desk: For MSPs, when a client asks you to support, upgrade, or maintain a Python or Django app, you shouldn't have to turn away revenue or risk losing the account. I operate as a white-label partner for MSPs needing Django expertise. By serving as your Django support desk, I provide Django application support under your brand, expanding your service catalog and helping client retention without adding headcount.
Systems-Level Stability & Direct Access: Custom software should be boring, reliable, and secure. With over a decade in full-stack web development and Linux systems administration, I manage the entire stack, from Django application code down to Docker containers on cloud or bare-metal servers. You get direct access to a senior local practitioner: no account managers, no offshore hand-offs, and no muddled communications.
