Care Plans

Keep your product healthy long after launch

Shipping is the start, not the finish. Software needs looking after — updates, monitoring, fixes, and steady improvements. A care plan keeps the same developer who built your product on hand every month, without hiring or chasing freelancers.

Plans are month-to-month — no long lock-in. Unused feature hours roll over one month. Ask about a custom plan.

Why a care plan beats "call me if it breaks"

Most problems don't announce themselves. Dependencies drift out of date, security patches pile up, an integration quietly changes its API, and small bugs turn into churned users. A care plan replaces the scramble of finding a developer in an emergency with a steady, low-cost relationship — someone already familiar with your codebase who keeps it healthy before things go wrong.

What's covered

  • Updates & security patches — keeping frameworks, libraries, and dependencies current and safe.
  • Monitoring — uptime and error tracking so issues are caught early, not reported by your users.
  • Bug fixes — the things that crop up in real-world use, handled as part of the plan.
  • Feature work — on Growth and Partner plans, a set number of hours each month for improvements and new features.
  • Planning — on the Partner plan, roadmap and technical planning so your product keeps moving in the right direction.

How support works

You get a single point of contact — me — with a clear response time for your tier. There's no ticket queue or account manager relaying messages. On the Partner plan you get a direct Slack or WhatsApp line and same-day priority support. Feature hours are yours to spend on whatever matters most that month, and unused hours roll over once so a quiet month isn't wasted.

Who this is for

  • Founders who just launched and want the product looked after without hiring a full-time developer.
  • Businesses running a critical app that can't afford downtime or a slow-motion security problem.
  • Teams without in-house engineering that need a reliable, senior pair of hands on call.

Why work with me

I've spent 20+ years building and maintaining software across the stack, from a ticketing platform that handled 20,000+ registrantsto a mobile app past 200,000 downloadsand a news platform serving 200,000 daily visitors. Care plans work best when the person maintaining the product is senior enough to fix the root cause, not just the symptom — and when they already understand how the whole thing fits together. If I built it, I'm the fastest person to keep it running; if I didn't, I'll get up to speed quickly and treat it like my own.
