You get one engineer who owns the whole thing - data model, API, interface, deployment - instead of coordinating three specialists who each own a slice and none of whom own the result.

I work in weekly sprints. We agree what ships this week, I build it, you see it running at the end of the week. No estimates that quietly double, no invoice for discovery.

Stack: TypeScript, NodeJS, React, NextJS, PostgreSQL, AWS. Twenty years of it, including eleven on a consumer directory and seven at Luxoft, and three live products of my own that I still run today.

Best fit: founders and small teams building a new product, or adding a serious feature to one that already exists.
