Service

Full stack builds*

One person owning the schema, the API and the interface. That means fewer handoffs, fewer gaps between the backend and the screen, and a codebase that stays coherent because one head held the whole shape of it.

Typical timeline

3 to 12 weeks

The problem

Most products do not stall on the hard technical problem. They stall on the boring edges nobody demos.

Auth and roles. Multi tenancy that actually isolates. Subscription tiers, failed payments, invoices, refunds. An admin panel somebody on your team can use without asking a developer. Audit trails. The thousand small decisions between a working prototype and something you can charge money for.

I have shipped that part more than any other, which is why I quote it honestly instead of discovering it in week six.

What the work covers
Schema and service boundaries firstThe data model and the shape of the API drawn before any code exists, because getting this wrong is the expensive mistake.
Authentication and rolesSign in, sessions, password reset, permissions per role, and enforcement at the database rather than only in the interface.
Multi tenancy that isolatesRow level security so one customer can never read another, enforced where it cannot be bypassed by an application bug.
Billing that handles the unhappy pathSubscription tiers, invoices, failed payments, upgrades and cancellations. Webhooks that stay correct when they arrive twice or out of order.
An admin panel people can useSo your team can find a customer, fix a record or check a subscription without opening a database client.
Queues, retries and jobsAnything slow moved off the request path, with idempotent jobs that survive a bad night rather than losing work.
An interface that feels consideredReal typography and spacing, accessible, and quick on a mid range phone rather than only on a developer laptop.
Deploy, documentation and handoverA repository you own, environment variables documented, and a recorded walkthrough so nobody depends on my memory.
Shapes of project

Ranges assume the product is defined well enough to scope. If the shape is still moving, we start with a shorter piece of work to settle it rather than pretending a number means something.

ProjectScaleTypical timelineNotes
Internal toolOne team, no public signup2 to 5 weeksUsually replaces a spreadsheet that has outgrown itself. No billing, simpler permissions, fastest path to something useful.
Product MVPPublic signup, one core workflow3 to 6 weeksAuth, the main workflow done properly, and enough admin tooling to run it. Deliberately narrow so it ships.
SaaS platform with billingTiers, tenants, invoices, admin6 to 12 weeksThe full shape: subscriptions, multi tenancy, roles, webhooks, dashboards and the unhappy paths that decide whether people trust it.

How it runs

01

A look at what you have

You tell me what you are building and what is in the way. I ask questions until I understand it, then tell you whether the project makes sense. This part is free and sometimes ends with me saying no.

02

A written scope and a number

Deliverables, timeline and price in writing before anything starts. The number does not move unless the scope does, and scope changes get quoted separately.

03

Build in the open

You get working builds you can click through, pushed regularly. No long silence followed by a surprise, so feedback lands while it is still cheap to act on.

04

Hand it over properly

A repository you own, documentation that gets a new developer running locally, and a recorded walkthrough of the deploy. Then a support window, because launch is when the real problems show up.

Questions I get asked

What stack do you build on?

Next.js and TypeScript on the front end. FastAPI, Node.js or Nest.js on the backend, depending on what the problem needs and what your team can maintain. PostgreSQL by default, with Redis and a queue when work has to move off the request path. I pick boring, well documented tools on purpose, because you might be hiring someone else to maintain this in two years.

Do I own the code?

Yes, from the first commit. The repository is yours, under your account, and I work in it rather than handing something over at the end. Environment variables come documented with a checked in example file, and the deploy gets recorded on video so nobody is dependent on me remembering how it works.

Can you take over a codebase someone else started?

Often, and it is a real part of my work. I read it first and give you an honest read on whether continuing is cheaper than restarting. Sometimes the existing code is fine and just unfinished. Sometimes the data model makes every future feature expensive and you are better off rebuilding the core while keeping the interface. You get that assessment before you commit to either.

Do you do the design too?

I build interfaces that work and hold a consistent visual system, and I care about typography, spacing and motion. I am not a brand designer. If you need identity work, illustration or a full design system, hire someone who does that all day and I will build faithfully to what they produce.

What will it cost to run?

I size the hosting to what the application actually does and tell you the monthly figure before we start, because a build that costs more to run than it earns is a failed project regardless of how well it works. For most products at launch that number is small. I will flag it early if your requirements push it somewhere expensive.

What about a mobile app?

I build web applications that work properly on a phone, which covers most requirements and costs a fraction of native work. If you genuinely need app store distribution, push notifications or offline use, that is a different project and I would rather say so than sell you a compromise.

How do you handle scope changes?

They happen on every project and the process is simple. I tell you what the change costs and what it moves in the timeline, in writing, before I build it. Small things I usually absorb. Anything meaningful gets quoted so neither of us is guessing when the invoice arrives.

Open to new work

Tell me what you are trying to build.

If I am the right person you will get a scope and a number in writing. If I am not, I will say so and point you somewhere better.
