FAQs

  • There are fields I’m comfortable with and some I don’t know enough about (but I’m willing to learn). My main focus is on technology (hardware, software, internet services, etc.), media, entertainment, music, tabletop gaming and other obscure geeky stuff. If you like my style and want to work with me on something completely different, please get in touch. I’d be happy to discuss your ideas and see if we are a good fit.

  • I’m based in Helsinki, Finland. Our first meeting can be held virtually or in person, depending on circumstances. During that initial conversation, we’ll determine whether we’re the right fit for each other. From that point onward, I’ll primarily work remotely, providing regular updates on progress.

    Over the years, I’ve found that I do my best work in the focus and calm of my home office. Commuting or sitting in an office without a clear purpose significantly reduces my productivity, so I prefer to reserve in-person meetings for key conversations. If my physical presence is essential to the project, that can be discussed and factored into the agreement. As a general rule, if ongoing on-site presence is required, a 20% surcharge will be added to the final invoice.

    I’m available for virtual meetings during standard office hours.

  • It depends. If we’ve never done business together, I usually request a 50% deposit amount. If we’re old friends, no deposit is needed.

  • If not agreed otherwise, I expect payment within 15 days of job completion. Late payments will be assessed an additional 10% on the total. Repeat business will be put on hold if unpaid bills begin to pile up. Nothing personal – it’s just that the bills I have to pay don’t have flexible deadlines.

  • If we’ve never done business together and the job is not trivial, yes. I will provide the necessary documentation.

  • Every project is different, and I aim to ensure that my contribution truly makes a difference. I typically estimate my fee based on the value I believe I can bring to your operation. For this reason, I don’t automatically accept every opportunity: if I don’t see a meaningful way to contribute, or if the role doesn’t align with my strengths, I’ll be honest about it and may recommend an alternative path or refer you to someone more suitable.

    Under the right conditions, I’m open to dedicating a set number of days per week exclusively to a single client. Get in touch, and we'll discuss options!
