Frequently Asked Questions

General

Do you work on-site?

No. I work exclusively full remote from Thailand (GMT+7). All engagements are handled remotely: video calls, email, SSH, VPN access, screen sharing. In practice, this makes no difference to quality or responsiveness — most of my clients have never felt a difference from a local provider.

What are your working hours?

I am available during European mornings (9am–1pm CET, which is 3pm–7pm in Thailand), making me ideal for daily stand-ups, code reviews, and incident response before your offices are fully open. Additional slots can be arranged as needed.

Do you work alone or with a team?

I work primarily as a solo consultant, which ensures continuity and consistency throughout the engagement. For projects requiring complementary skills, I draw on a network of trusted freelancers.

Engagements

What types of missions do you take on?

Go & Cloud-Native technical expertise, critical Perl maintenance, code audits, DevOps, Fractional CTO, team coaching, and Tech Lead mentoring. See the Services page for full details.

What is the minimum engagement duration?

For one-off consulting or expertise missions, there is no minimum. For a Fractional CTO or structural support role, I recommend a commitment of at least 3 months to achieve meaningful results.

Do you work on a time-and-materials or fixed-price basis?

Both. Time-and-materials suits evolving missions or recurring needs. Fixed-price is appropriate for well-scoped deliverables (audits, DevOps sprints, etc.). Packaged offers are detailed on the Services page.

Can you intervene on short notice?

Yes, subject to availability. Contact me directly at contact@doolta.com with your need and timeline.

Pricing & contracts

What are your rates?

The daily rate is €900/day for technical expertise. Fractional CTO starts at €3,600/month (1 day/week). Fixed-price packages are available for scoped missions. Full details on the Pricing page.

Do you invoice in euros?

Yes, all invoices are issued in euros. I am registered as an independent contractor and provide invoices compliant with French and European requirements.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, without reservation. Confidentiality is a standard condition of every engagement.
