Hi, I'm Darren.

Why this exists

I'm not a tradesperson. I've hired a lot of them — for renos, for repairs, the kind of stuff every homeowner ends up calling someone for. And every single contractor had a different way of taking payment. Some sent paper invoices weeks late. Some texted me e-transfer details. Some never followed up at all and I had to chase them to pay them. From my end, it was exhausting.

From their end, it's worse. Every tradesperson I've talked to has a story about a client who never paid — sometimes thousands of dollars of work, done. There's no good way to track who still owes you. No polite way to nudge. And clients who treat a quote like a suggestion just get away with it. So you eat it, and you keep working.

Both of those problems are software problems. That's what I do for a living.

Why you can trust me with this

I've spent years building software that handles money — the kind that can't afford to lose track of a cent. That's the standard I'm holding handipay to. You can find me at arrayof.one.
