About my standards of work:
In most cases I can begin to work immediately and finish quickly with accuracy. I feel comfortable in a new environment and I can learn quickly new technologies. I have good capacity to work in team or to take in charge a full project in all his parts from the analysis to the delivery of the completed and tested product and to the distribution through box packages or Internet installation. I collaborate with a team of trusted developers which have experience in different areas of developing, so I am able to deliver complex and multi-competence products in a quick time. Moreover, when appropriate I do not limit my work to the requirements of the customer but I provide suggestions to improve the efficiency and quality of the results. I am prompt for any eventual adjustment and I assist the customer also after that the work is completed.
For me the confidentiality of the works made for my customers is a must and I will never resell a work expressly created for a customer unless I have taken different agreements with the customer.
About the acceptance of the project and the payment policies:
The satisfaction of the customers is for me a must, my policy is to accept a project only after I have discussed them in deep with the customer and we are sure about the understanding of the requirements. In most cases, before to accept a project, I can provide a demo version of the product in order to be sure that the customer is fully satisfied about the product that it will get. When possible I ask the payment only after I finish the work, unless I should not sustain cost for the realization of the project and that the development do not require an excessive time. In that last case I will ask an advanced payment for the costs that I will have to sustain and a milestone payment after the realization of the initial part of the project if it will commit more than 3 days of work.
