READY TO BUILD YOURS?

Let's create something your users will love.

HOW FAST?THIS FAST.

No long discovery process. No endless meetings. Just rapid building and constant progress.

WEEK 1

We talk & plan

You share your vision. I create a technical roadmap.

Email or quick call. Clear scope and pricing.

WEEK 2-3

I start building

Core features first. You get weekly updates.

Real progress you can see and test.

WEEK 4-6

MVP ready

Basic version live. Ready for early users.

Not perfect, but functional and improvable.

WEEK 6-8

Launch ready

Polished product. Payment integration. Analytics.

Everything you need to start growing.

REALISTIC TIMELINE: 6-8 WEEKS TO LAUNCH

Quality takes time. But not 6 months like agencies quote. We'll ship something real in 2 months.

MODERN TECH.NOT TRENDY BS.

I use proven technology that scales. Not the framework that just dropped yesterday on Hacker News.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

I'm not technical. Will I understand what's happening?

That's exactly who I work with. I explain everything in plain English. No jargon. You'll know what I'm building, why I'm building it, and how it helps your business. Think of me as your technical translator.

What if I already started with another developer?

I've rescued plenty of half-built projects. Sometimes we can salvage the existing code. Sometimes it's faster to rebuild properly. I'll be honest about which makes more sense. No sugarcoating.

How are you different from an agency?

Agencies assign junior devs and mark up their time 3x. I'm one senior person who actually builds your product. No account managers. No overhead. Just me writing code and shipping features.

Can you really build AI features?

Yes. But I build useful AI, not gimmicks. I've integrated OpenAI, Claude, custom models, vector databases. If it actually helps your users and makes sense for your business, I'll build it.

What about after launch?

Three options: (1) I hand it off and train your team, (2) One-off updates as needed, (3) Monthly retainer for ongoing development. Most founders start with option 2 then move to 3.

Do you sign NDAs?

Of course. Though honestly, ideas are worthless without execution. I'm too busy building products to steal yours. My reputation is worth more than any single idea.

What if my budget is lower?

Let's talk about what you really need. Sometimes a simple landing page is enough to start. We can always build more as you grow. I'm here to help you succeed, not drain your budget.

Why should I trust you?

Fair question. Check out my recent work - BookShelves.me and StorySquare.co are both live. Talk to my past clients if you want. But the best way? Let's start with something small and see how it goes.

STILL SKEPTICAL?

Good. You should be. Let's talk specifics about your project.
