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.

Tell 84EM about the project
I've had the pleasure of working with Andrew at 84EM for over four years, and he's consistently been an exceptional partner across a range of development needs. From deep backend portal work to modernizing legacy code and building custom solutions tailored to our clients, his contributions have had a direct, meaningful impact improving overall site performance while enhancing reporting capabilities and activity tracking.

He's proactive in identifying potential issues, staying on top of updates in the development space, and ensuring that our clients' websites remain secure, stable, and current.
Equally important, he communicates technical recommendations clearly and accessibly, making them easy to understand for those without a technical background.
