CUSTOM SOFTWARE
Small tools,
finished properly.
Fixed-scope commissions for scripts, automations, converters and small desktop utilities. You describe the job. You get a working tool, a written acceptance check and the source code.
Script fix or rescueFrom $150
One script, one reproducible failure. I find the cause, fix it, keep the original behaviour, and prove the fix with a before/after run.
- One failure, reproduced and documented.
- Fix plus a short note explaining the cause.
- Your existing inputs and outputs stay valid.
- Best when something worked yesterday and does not today.
Single-purpose toolFrom $300
A converter, calculator, report generator or tracker that does one job and stops. Command line or a small window, whichever fits how you work.
- One defined input, one defined output.
- Handles bad input without crashing.
- Plain help text and a sample file.
- One revision round included.
Workflow automationFrom $450
Stop copying data between two systems by hand. A scheduled job that moves the data, checks it arrived, and tells you when it did not.
- Two endpoints, one direction, agreed schedule.
- Dry-run mode first, live second.
- Failure alerting that names the actual error.
- Run book: how to start, stop and re-run it.
Small desktop utilityFrom $750
A small Windows application with settings, saved state and a packaged executable — not a prototype that needs a developer present.
- Window, settings and local data storage.
- Packaged executable, no toolchain on your PC.
- Backup and restore note.
- Two revision rounds included.
Data cleanup or migrationFrom $250
Messy spreadsheet, export or folder of files in; clean structured data out. Every row accounted for, nothing silently dropped.
- Written rules for what is kept, merged or rejected.
- Rejected rows listed with reasons, never discarded.
- Original data never modified.
- Output in the format your next tool expects.
Every commission includes
- A written one-page scope before any work starts.
- A fixed price for that scope; changes are quoted, never absorbed silently.
- An acceptance checklist we run together before you pay the balance.
- The source code and a short handover note.
- A 14-day window for genuine defects in what was delivered.
50% deposit on commissions above $500, balance on acceptance. Below that, payment on completion.
Also available this month: two 3D slots
Small 3D work alongside the software — a prop, a creature or a render package. Two slots only, because it is secondary to software delivery, and priced accordingly.
Prop or creature assetFrom $150
- One game-ready asset from your reference or brief.
- Clean topology, sensible UVs, PBR material.
- GLB/FBX export plus a preview render.
- Limited revisions: one shape pass, one texture pass.
Render packageFrom $120
- Three studio renders of an asset you own.
- Neutral background, consistent lighting.
- PNG delivery, print-sized.
Sample: a stylised raven built and animated in Blender, with an interactive preview that switches between idle, flight and dialogue states. Ask to see it.
What I do not take
- Unlimited scope, "make it work like X but better" briefs, or open-ended retainers.
- Automation of game clients or anything intended to violate a service's terms.
- Reselling third-party assets, themes or datasets I do not have rights to.
- Jobs that depend on an API I cannot test before quoting.
