// Why one developer

One engineer, no middlemen.

  • 01

    You talk to the engineer

    No account manager, no hand-offs. The person scoping the work is the person writing the code.

  • 02

    Senior from the first commit

    Fourteen years of shipping software, including leading an engineering squad on a life-sciences SaaS platform.

  • 03

    Straight answers

    If something isn't worth building, or should be built later, you'll hear it before you pay for it.

// Process

How every order is made

Whether it takes a week or a quarter, every job goes through the same five steps.

  1. 1

    Grind

    Understand the job. What should this change for your business, and what's the smallest thing that proves it?

  2. 2

    Dose

    Scope it in phases. A clear first release, a sensible order for what follows, and no padding.

  3. 3

    Extract

    Build in small increments you can see and use. Working software beats a long debate about the ideal one.

  4. 4

    Taste

    Types, tests and review on every change, with CI to check that nothing that worked yesterday is broken today.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Deploy, document and hand over. The code, tests and pipeline end up in better shape than they started.

// About

Meet the barista

I'm Abu Muzzamil Khan. I started Coffee to Code to work directly with businesses that need software built properly, without agency overheads.

I've spent fourteen years building software in Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. I've been a solo developer, a team lead who grew a team from one to six, a consultant working across several client codebases, and tech lead of a squad on a life-sciences SaaS platform.

I lead from inside the codebase. I prefer working software to long debates, and I care about tests, pipelines and the people who inherit the code.
