Questions people actually ask

An agency staffs your engagement with whoever's available and bills for a team. I'm one person — you get the same architect on every call, from discovery through implementation. No account manager, no rotating junior developers, no markup on other people's time.

I only take one engagement at a time, by design — that's what makes the full-time-focus model work without corners getting cut. If I'm already committed when you reach out, I'll say so on the first call and we'll talk timing, rather than me splitting attention across clients.

Yes. I sign NDAs routinely and can work from your standard template or provide mine.

I invoice as a standard cross-border services engagement, typically in EUR or USD, and can work with your finance team's usual vendor process. Snowcap Datalab (OPC) Private Limited (CIN U62091KA2023OPC176250) is a registered Indian entity, which keeps invoicing and compliance straightforward on my end.

Full-time, one engagement at a time, with a 3-month minimum. It starts with a free architecture call, followed by a short scoped assessment if there's a fit, then full-time work — working sessions, architecture review, and hands-on implementation, not a slice of a split week.

No — I structure my calendar around each client's time zone rather than defaulting to one region. As long as there's a workable overlap, geography isn't a blocker.

That's a reasonable starting point, and it's how most engagements begin. Some clients stop there; most decide there's follow-on architecture work worth continuing.

Both. I make the architecture calls and implement the parts that matter most — schema design, core pipelines, the pieces where getting it wrong is expensive. I'm not a substitute for your day-to-day implementation team on routine work.
