What startups need from a developer
Startups need speed, flexibility and someone who can make technical decisions without a committee. You need an MVP that proves your hypothesis, not a six-month architecture project.
I build focused MVPs with real auth, real billing and real data - production-grade for the features that matter, not a prototype that needs to be thrown away.
How I work with startups
First, we cut the feature list to the single loop that proves your hypothesis. Everything else goes in a visible backlog. What ships is production-grade for that loop.
Weekly increments on a live preview URL. You review, you steer, we ship. No waiting two weeks to see progress.
What I build for startups
MVPs with authentication, database, payments and analytics. Landing pages and waitlists for pre-launch. SaaS products with multi-tenancy and billing.
AI features that differentiate your product. Admin dashboards for operations and support.
Why one developer works
At the MVP stage, one senior full-stack developer moves faster than a team. No communication overhead, no handoffs, no decisions by committee. Decisions happen in minutes, not meetings.
When you grow to need a larger team, the codebase is clean enough for them to pick up.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can an MVP ship?
A tightly scoped MVP ships in 4-8 weeks. A landing page plus waitlist can ship in days.
Do I own the code?
Yes, fully. The repository, accounts and deployment configuration are yours from the start.
Can you continue after launch?
Yes, usually on a monthly retainer sized to the roadmap.
