How AI is used here

Software checks every output

Validation in code catches errors before a person sees them.
A person approves what matters

Nothing consequential goes out without staff review.
Every decision is logged

A clear audit trail of what was drafted, changed and approved.

Working with a one-person company

You’ll work directly with me, from the first call to support long after launch. I plan, build and support every project myself, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Igor Burban, Director

Capacity: every proposal states the start date and the weekly hours committed.
Your code lives in your organization’s repository from day one.
Hosting and service accounts are in your organization’s name.
A written runbook and handover notes, kept current.
A weekly report of hours and work done during active projects.
For planned time away, a trusted senior developer can cover support, introduced in advance and only with your written approval.
