I build SaaS MVPs the way they should be built - real architecture, real code review, real engineering decisions - just compressed into 4-6 weeks using modern tooling.

What that looks like in practice: I've shipped privacy-engineered document vaults, Stripe subscription systems for multi-vendor agencies, React Native cross-platform apps, AI agent platforms, and Next.js products on Contentful. The stack changes per project. The standard doesn't.

Non-technical founders who need a real product, not a wireframe

Technical founders who'd rather buy back 6 weekends than build it

Anyone burned by an "MVP" that couldn't survive its first 50 users.

Not the right fit if you need a native iOS/Android app. Check out

If your scope is "Uber for X" - message me and let's scope it differently.

→ Phase 1 • 60-min kickoff - scope, success criteria, what stays out • Feature map + user flows, approved in 48h • Stack decision doc - every choice justified up front

→ Phase 2 • Full-stack web app - Next.js / React, Tanstack, Postgres, Convex • Auth that works - Clerk, Better-auth, or Supabase Auth • Stripe live - subscriptions or one-time - with webhook lifecycle. • 1–4 third-party integrations - email, analytics, AI APIs, etc. • Staging link by end of week 2, not week 4

→ Phase 3 • Production deploy - Vercel, Render, or your preferred host • Codebase pushed to your GitHub from day 1 - clean, modular, commented • Architecture doc + setup README any dev can pick up cold • 30-min handoff call + Loom walkthrough of the code

13+ shipped projects on Contra, 4.86 rating, hired by a Unicorn

Range across stacks - Next.js, Supabase, Postgres, Convex, Stripe, Polar, Contentful - I pick the right tool for the product, not the other way around

Real engineering, not just prompting - I read, refactor, and debug what AI generates. Your second feature won't break your first.

Scope locked in week 1 is what ships at launch — no surprise extras."

Plus 14 days of post-launch support - bug fixes and small tweaks, on the original scope.
