About Better Way Solutions
One senior developer. Zero overhead. Real results.
Hi, I'm Max.
I've spent over a decade building software — enterprise systems for Fortune 500 companies, rapid prototypes for startups, and everything in between. I've seen how the consulting industry works from the inside, and I built Better Way Solutions because most of it is broken.
Big consulting firms charge $200-400/hour, staff your project with juniors, and drag timelines to maximize billing. In-house hiring takes months and costs a fortune in salary, benefits, and onboarding. Neither option makes sense for most projects.
Better Way is the third option: one experienced developer who scopes your project, quotes a fixed price, builds it fast, and moves on. No bench staff. No account managers. No overhead passed to you.
What I bring to the table
Full-Stack Development
React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, .NET, Java — I pick the right tool for your problem, not whatever's trendy. I've built everything from real-time data pipelines to customer-facing portals to mobile apps.
AI & Automation
Not just prompt engineering — real AI systems that integrate with your business. RAG systems, custom agents, document processing, workflow automation. I build AI tools that deliver measurable ROI, not demos.
Enterprise Integration
I specialize in making systems talk to each other. API design, .NET/Java interoperability, legacy system modernization, message queuing. If your tech stack is a mess, I can untangle it.
How I work
Direct communication, always
You talk to me — the person building your software. No project managers, no account reps, no game of telephone. Questions get answered in hours, not days.
Transparent pricing
Fixed-price projects or clear monthly retainers. I scope carefully upfront so there are no surprises. If something changes mid-project, we discuss it before any work happens.
Rapid iteration
You'll see working builds throughout the project, not just at the end. Feedback loops are tight — we catch issues early and course-correct fast.
Clean handoff
When the project's done, you own everything. Clean code, documentation, deployment configs. Your next developer (or your in-house team) can pick it up without a decoder ring.
Professional engagement
Better Way Solutions operates as an S-Corporation — giving you the reliability and tax efficiency of working with an established business entity. Proper contracts, invoicing, insurance, and W-9 documentation provided for every engagement.
