MARTIN ALFEI / TECHNICAL ADVISOR & DEVELOPER

What should you
build on next?

I help teams navigate technical decisions, develop systems and get things done. From the first difficult question to a solution in use.

ON THE WORKBENCH01 / 07

Before we build, we ask why.

Seven situations. Try how the need changes the solution.

“I’d like to order a slide.”

Order: one slide✓ Delivered as requested.

But what did you actually want to experience?

THE STARTING POINT

It’s easy to go straight from a request to building. The customer gets exactly the slide they asked for. But nobody has asked what they actually want to do with it.

02 / WORKING TOGETHER

A sounding board.
And part of the team.

Sometimes you need a fresh perspective. Sometimes you need someone for the longer run. We find an arrangement that fits the team and the work.

Let’s have a conversation

SOMETHING I BELIEVE
The best technical decision starts with understanding the everyday work it needs to support.

03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Hi, I’m Martin.

I like understanding how things fit together. And making them a little simpler.

I’m a computer engineer, consultant and co-founder based in Grimstad, Norway. My experience spans frontend and SaaS development, customer dialogue and technology leadership. The common thread is making technology work for the people who use it.

I meet teams in Grimstad, Lillesand, Arendal, Kristiansand, Mandal and across Southern Norway. I also work remotely with clients throughout Norway and internationally.

What are you
working through?

A difficult decision, a team that needs an extra pair of hands, or something you haven’t quite put into words yet. That’s a good place to start.
