Collaboration

Work directly with your software developer.

I am Daniel Henze. Under the name Slaty, I develop software, websites, and integrations for businesses. You discuss requirements and technical decisions directly with me.

The right technology for the task

I do not work within a fixed technology stack. Whether it is C++, Rust, Kotlin, Java, PHP, or another language, the choice depends on the task, the target platform, and the existing systems.

For existing projects, I get to grips with the technology already in use. For new work, we choose tools based on requirements, maintainability, and how the software will be operated. A preferred language or framework does not dictate the choice.

A clear first engagement

We begin with a concrete task and its intended result, such as a technical review or a first usable workflow. Scope, acceptance, access, and responsibilities are agreed before implementation. Ongoing support and response times are agreed separately.

Where the collaboration fits

The focus is on custom web applications, internal tools, integrations, and taking over existing systems. It is a good fit when requirements can be clarified together and a maintainable long-term solution matters more than a large standard package.

  • New development with a clear operational purpose
  • Focused extension of existing systems
  • Technical takeover and modernization
  • Continued development and operation

How a project begins

A short message describing the current situation, intended change, users, and existing systems is enough to start. The first conversation identifies open questions, risks, and a sensible next step.

Depending on the project, that may be a limited analysis, a prototype, a first production scope, or a technical assessment. Effort and responsibilities are made explicit before work begins.

Location and working style

The business is based in Wenden in the Olpe district. In-person meetings around Siegen, Olpe, and South Westphalia are possible by arrangement; projects can also be delivered entirely remotely throughout Germany.

Communication, source code, infrastructure, and documentation remain traceable. Customers retain control of their systems and accounts.
