Engineering, Programming & Content Creation โ€” Hereโ€™s the Price List.

Clear. Transparent. Ready for your next project.


I may not be the fastest AV programmer in the industry, but quality was never built at sprint speed. If speed is all you care about, go race toward those flashy programming companies.

For nearly 25 years in this amazing industry, Iโ€™ve taken immense pride in every project Iโ€™ve programmed from start to finish. The code for those 100% completed projects has been delivered 100% flawless, every single time.

Did every project hit the original timeline perfectly- No.

Iโ€™ve always done my best with scheduling, shifting demands, and real-world project challenges. But one thing Iโ€™m genuinely proud of โ€” every audiovisual programming project Iโ€™ve started from the beginning and finished to the end has been delivered 100%. How many people can truly say that after more than two decades in a constantly evolving industry? The formula behind that success has never been the smartest person in the room. Iโ€™ve posted code examples showing how anyone can build error-recovery code, along with test utility files to validate performance before deployment.

Passion is the secret to this success rate, even though itโ€™s led to countless projects I have turned down over the years.


Fix Quotes

While I do not provide fixed quotes for specific, audiovisual projects, I will work efficiently to deliver results within your budget. I offer fixed quotes for iOS development, and content creation projects.

Fix quote option:

Audiovisual development that brings it all togetherโ€”programming, engineering, content creation, and marketingโ€”built for projects starting at $35K+.

For fixed-quote projects, email me your termsโ€”inclusive of payment scheduleโ€”for any scope with a $35,000 budget, and Iโ€™ll review and align for approval.

If your budget doesnโ€™t meet the $35K minimum, Iโ€™m still open to working together through hourly rates. Best offer up front โ€” fully transparent to everyone, no negotiations.


Manufacturers should start treating module development like a product launch.


The pricing above reflects my best offer for audiovisual engineering and programming.
