How It Works

Our process is built to deliver results with clarity and efficiency.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

The process begins with a short 20 minute interview and consultation session. This initial interview is scheduled to determine whether John and the client are a good fit. During this interview, the client presents ideas, desires, timeline, budget and other aspects of the project with John.

Step 2: Project Estimate

John reviews the results of the interview and develops an estimate for the project. This estimate uses an algorithm that incorporates Optimistic, Realistic, and Pessimistic financial projections into the final number - he calls this the "ORP".

Step 3: Estimate Delivery & Follow-Up

The estimate is delivered to the client and a follow up call is scheduled to discuss the finer point and/or answer any questions or concerns.

Step 4: Scope Definition

If the estimate is accepted, a consultation session is scheduled to elaborate on the scope of the project, develop landmark goals, and a timeline for completion.

Step 5: Project Execution

After completion of the 30,000 foot view in Step 4 and project has been mapped out completely, work starts!

Step 6: Path to Project Completion

Daily/Weekly updates are conducted via Loom reviews, Slack, phone, email, and other methods to ensure everything is going according to plan. Then, we all celebrate when we reach the finish line!

What Clients Are Saying About John Shipp and Associates

"I can confidently say that all of John's contributions to Cometly were integral to our success. From writing the very first line of Cometly's code to helping assemble and mentor our development team, John proved himself time and time again as a technical expert and a true leader. He is one of the smartest developers I have ever met, thanks to his ability not only to write exceptional code but also to understand business logic and communicate effectively with non-technical product teams.

Thanks to his tireless efforts in guiding the architectural foundation, Cometly was able to evolve into a platform capable of processing and storing billions of records, paving the way for enterprise-level scalability. John's focus on building robust, future-proof solutions not only accelerated our product development but also empowered the team to continuously innovate.

Beyond his professional expertise, John is an honest and caring individual who consistently put the well-being of both his colleagues and our customers first. His integrity, empathy, and collaborative spirit made him an invaluable teammate and someone I would recommend without reservation to any organization looking for a passionate, forward-thinking engineer and leader."

Matt Pattoli
Founder, Cometly.com

"I usually don't leave any feedback, so when I do it means that I was blown away... John's experience paired with his detail for attention is rare to find. I came to John after experiencing issues with our servers and domains... Within minutes he diagnosed it and knew exactly what needed to be done Then he proceeded to perfectly explain it to me (A complete newbie when it comes to this stuff)... I understood every bit After trying a couple different people before John, i was relieved that I found the perfect fit for our business needs. And I will continue to hire John for years to come! Worth every penny and more! If you're thinking about hiring John/working with him. Stop thinking and pull the trigger, I guarantee he will be one of the best hires you've ever made (I mean it 100%) Thank you John!"

Taha N.
Lamassu Enterprises

“John is a God send. He is extremely knowledgeable and would advise any entrepreneurs out there to work with him or at the very least consult with him. I'm new to the outsourcing web development game and having him on board from the very start would have saved me months and months of worry, frustration, and time. You see, if it's your first time outsourcing a major web app project, your inexperience will be your worst enemy. You will always be wondering what's going on behind the scenes, what work is really being done, will we be on time and on budget, etc… He helped me create great systems for project management, accountability, and transparency that have proven to be far more helpful than Up-work screens shots alone. I look forward to working with John again on the next phase of my project.”

Bryan H.
Crazy Love

"John is the complete package – great dev skills, organized project planning and management, great communicator (who puts communication systems into place), and a really nice guy to boot."

Tom Bisciglia
Tech# Consulting

"John has an excellent command of all aspects of programming, old and new. We are a small company of non-tech individuals working with an old system. John understood everything that needed to happen, both in English and tech."

Lynne P.
JDB Hotels

"I'm incredibly impressed with John, both by his skills and his ability to effectively communicate with non-programmers (i.e. myself). I hired him to fix an issue with our new website that I'd been struggling with our previous web development firm to fix for the last 9 months. When that firm basically told me "There's nothing else we can do," they fortunately referred me to John, who fixed the issue in less than 2 weeks, and well under the time he had initially estimated for me. He was so easy to work with – I told him what we wanted and he would tell me how complex or simple it would be to execute. He also asked plenty of insightful questions about how the database should operate in order to make sure we had thought of everything. He is incredibly helpful, friendly and professional, which is not something I can say about all programmers/developers I've worked with in the past. He is also very responsive, which was important to me after trying to get this issue resolved for the better part of year. In short, I would highly recommend John for any project you have and I certainly plan to use his services in the future."

Jaclyn L.

"John is very to easy to work with. Gave me all necessary details to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Would work with again. Thanks John!"

Leo Semenenko

"Fantastic detective work solving a puzzling problem that could have cost me a ton of money, not to mention time and agony. He really went out of his way to help. At one point, the problem seemed unsolvable but he stayed on it and came through like a superhero."

Jae Brown
PagesMag

"If you are viewing John’s profile or website, chances are it is because you are sick of dealing with sub-par developers. That is exactly why I was led to his website. I have worked with more than 10 developers throughout my career and John is absolutely at the top of the list. He was able to achieve a tight deadline, communicated effectively, and was incredibly efficient in terms of billed hours. Well worth the money! Will be hiring again when I have a new project."

Hunter Thompson
Cash Flow Connections

"Our project was unique in that the milestones were not outlined at start. John communicated exceedingly well and was flexible with our changes while still managing to expectations. He’s very talented and his ability to communicate with technical and nontechnical staff is excellent. He delivered as requested and posed thoughtful questions during the process which benefited the design of the final API project."

Christine V.
GoCare

"John is very professional. His ability to adjust and meet me where I was in my project holds a lot of weight. While his skill set is the reason for contacting him, I benefited greatly from his approach and professional process. If you want someone who is great beyond technical skills, you are looking for John!"

Cher M.

"John is an amazingly talented programmer who not only met my expectations but also exceeded them as well. I would highly recommend John and look forward to working with him on future projects."

Jeff Z.

Phenomenal communication, John asked all the right questions to get caught up to speed. He even found issues with our existing code that he was able to fix and increase the overall security and performance of our app. Wonderful job and would absolutely recommend working with John in the future!

Maggie Sfingi

"John's profile stuck out as exactly what I was looking for and he did not disappoint. We began our project while John was with his family half way across the world but his availability and communication was still top notch. He took an existing application with potential and turned it into something very powerful and scaleable. Thanks, John!"

Mike C.

I highly recommend John and will not hesitate in hiring him again and again for future projects"

Daniel

"Attitude, attitude, attitude! Just what you want, great work, great enthusiasm and great attitude."

Mark S.
Sipree

"John is a great developer, he helped build my website from the ground up, with the functionality that I needed. A little history of the ordeals I’ve been through, I had gone with various US companies that would outsource in India but I wasn’t aware. I was frustrated and … talked to various programmers and John had the skills that I needed for my project. From there on out he delivered as he promised. My website is an e-commerce site with functionality made specifically for it. For any future modifications to my site or any other future projects I would gladly hire John."

Jerry J.

Tom T.

"Hands-down the best dev to work with! John is extremely knowledgeable, smart and takes the time to provide detailed insight into his work progress making the experience fully transparent and collaborative. He also works very efficiently and provides detailed visibility into his work so you're not left in the dark on progress and milestones. Additionally, in addition to the technical build, he also provides constructive recommendations and best practices from his years of experience across different projects. If you're looking for a dev who is smart, efficient and communicates well, I highly recommend working with John and would work with him again!"

"John helped us quickly identify a major bug in our database and helped us get it fixed very quickly! His quick fix, and his recommendations for database infrastructure were priceless and his knowledge is beyond expert level. He is a true pro."

Grant Cooper

"John Shipp is not only an excellent programmer, but he is the rare breed that can turn mere ideas into working software. No, I take that back. ‘Working' is an understatement. Mr. Shipp writes software that performs exactly as needed. He never overbuilds, never underbuilds. He listens to your needs and builds exactly that. It is refreshing to work with a programmer who has no ego or vanity. He plies his craft with the simple intention of someone who cares to see you succeed."

Ben Allfree

"Very knowledgeable. Efficient and fast. Will make recommendations and super easy to work with. I will hire John back many times and many years to come. I can not say enough about the great experience I had with him. Thanks for the fast turn around and great work!"

Octavio Sanchez

"John is extremely detailed oriented and highly skilled. I knew from the interview that he was the right choice. So much in fact, that I canceled two other interviews I had scheduled with other candidates. You definitely won't go wrong hiring John for your software development project. You'll get someone who communicates well and knows their stuff."

Daniel S.

"I recently hired john to guide me on breaking into the web development industry, and I must say, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. John had a comprehensive knowledge of the web development industry, from the required technical skills to the nuances of networking and building a strong portfolio. If your on the fence I'd say definitely go with John you will not be disappointed!."

Marty Vance
Personal Project

"John is joy to work with, extremely flexible and agile. This in addition to his top notch experience, knowledge and development work make him a rare gem in the sometimes scary world of freelancers. Definitely worth the extra money. :)"

Asa K.
PrimeSlope Platform

"John is a one of the most experienced software engineers I have had an opportunity to work with. I needed to hire a senior-level developer to work on a complicated legacy API integration with little to none existing documentation, and a few if any developers who would still know how it works. After I described the project, John said he hasn't worked on that specific API (which I already knew), but he will figure out how to do it. At that point, I knew I am going to hire him. The project itself was as challenging as we expected, but the results exceeded expectations. John communicated his progress clearly with the rest of the development team, and contacted the right people whenever there was a roadblock. All in all, the whole team was very impressed with John's expertise and talent, and I'm very much looking forward hiring him again."

Jaakko Piipponen
Remote Garage

"John was great again this time I hired him for this long-term support project – his technology acumen overall and command for certain specific technical tasks make him my go-to guy for many of my more challenging projects. I’ll definitely be hiring him again in the very-near future!!"

Tom T.
Private Project

"Great programmer, and overall – a great guy!"

Amit K.

"John took the time to get very familiar with the extremely technical requirements of the project and was able to provide valuable feedback. He was a complete pleasure to work with and will definitely hire him again"

Gabriel Murphy

"I have worked with developers in the past and John's professionalism, tech knowledge, and customer service leaves for little comparison. Amazing experience working with him -- he went above and beyond to address our concerns and get our website heading in the right direction, making recommendations and changes that dramatically increased the website speed and set the stage for future developer team growth. Would work with him again with 0 hesitation. Coming from a non-developer background, John was able to explain differences in code quality with ease and give us understanding on what exactly has been "done" previously on our website. Would recommend hiring for high-level technical overviews from a tried and true technology executive and especially if you are tired of being dragged along by other developers. His transparency has been a tremendous breath of fresh air. 5 Stars. Thank you, John. Additionally, he was able to determine the root cause of the loading problem and was able to resolve the issue within one day."
