How does 84EM run a project?
One senior engineer runs every 84EM engagement end to end. Andrew Miller has handled architecture, code, deployment, and support directly for 31 years, with no handoffs and no junior teams. Every project follows the same three steps: direct access, understand, deliver.
Direct Access
You talk to the engineer, not a go-between. Andrew Miller handles every engagement directly: architecture, code, deployment, and support. One point of contact, start to finish.
Understand
No work starts without understanding the full picture. 84EM digs into your requirements, evaluates what exists, and defines a clear path forward before a single line of code is written.
Deliver
New builds, rescues, integrations, and ongoing support. Tested, documented, and deployed to your environment, the same way on every engagement.

Hiring a Solo Developer vs. an Agency: The Honest Tradeoffs
I'm a solo developer, so I have a stake in the answer. Here's the honest version anyway, including the projects where you should hire an agency instead of me.
Jul 04, 2026The $45K RFP That Was Actually a Phishing Operation
A 12-page RFP from a real company, weeks of professional emails, and a fake Google login one character away from the real thing. How it unraveled, and the habits that caught it.
Let's Talk
Direct access to the senior engineer who scopes, builds, and ships your project. No one in between.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?
Seven service lines: WordPress Development, Custom Web Development, Agency Partnerships, AI Integration & Development, Technical Advisory, Project Rescue, and Maintenance, Security & Support.
What makes you different from other developers?
One principal engineer on every engagement with direct client access. No middle layer, no junior handoffs, no rotating teams. The person who scopes the project is the same person who architects it, writes the code, and ships it. 31 years of web experience, fast response times, clients ranging from solo founders to enterprises over $1B in revenue.
Will I work directly with Andrew?
Yes. Every 84EM engagement is handled by a principal engineer. Andrew is the point of contact and the accountable party from scoping through deployment. For larger engagements, a trusted network of developers and specialists is brought in, but communication and accountability stay with Andrew.
Can you build AI into my product?
Yes. Custom AI tools, LLM-powered features, and automated workflows that plug into your existing stack. If you started an AI project that stalled, 84EM audits the work, fixes what's broken, and brings it to production. See AI Integration & Development for the full scope.
How much will my project cost?
Past engagements have ranged from a few hours of discovery work to multi-year retainers in the six figures. It depends on scope.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. 84EM offers both white-label and client-facing agency partnership models. See Agency Partnerships for details.
Do I own the code you write?
Yes. All custom code is owned by the client. Full access provided. Documentation included. No lock-in.
How do I get started?
Contact 84EM to discuss your requirements, timeline, and budget. No commitment required.
