Darien Bathalter

🌿 Hi, I'm Darien.

I build bespoke software for problems that don't have off-the-shelf answers.

Data systems, automation, custom applications, integrations — for clients who need something that doesn't exist yet, and probably never will unless we build it together.

How I Work

1

We Start with a Conversation

We sit down together for 90 minutes. You walk me through what you're working on — the problem, the context, what you've already tried. I ask questions. By the end, we'll both know if it's a fit.

$500 for the conversation — fully credited toward your project if we move forward.

2

I Put Together a Plan

I write up a detailed proposal — what I'll build, how long it'll take, what it'll cost. The kind of document you can hand to your team and not have to translate.

3

You Sit with It

Take the time you need. If the plan feels right, we move forward together. If something doesn't quite fit, tell me — we'll adjust, or we'll part as friends. Both are good outcomes.

4

We Get to Work

Building happens during my reserved blocks each week. You'll hear from me regularly — questions, progress updates, in-progress demos. No black box, no disappearing acts.

5

It Becomes Yours

At delivery, everything is yours — the code, the documentation, the keys to keep it running. I stick around for handoff, and I'm here whenever you need me down the road.

Work With Me

I work Tuesday through Friday, with specific blocks reserved for consultation and development work.

My calendar shows my real availability. If you don't see a time that works, reach out and we'll figure it out.

I protect time for family, faith formation, and rest. That makes me better at what I do for you.
