MVP Planning
Cut the idea down to the smallest product that proves demand, then plan the build around it.
- Feature prioritization
- User flows and wireframes
- Scope and timeline
Paying for tools that never quite fit your workflow gets expensive as you grow. I help businesses and founders build custom products in code: a focused first version, then solid foundations to grow on.

Why work with me
We cut the idea down to what proves value, so you launch sooner and learn from real use.
I helped build a rank tracker, an AI content engine and an HR platform, in code, from interface to database.
Clean APIs, role-based access and a SQL database designed to grow without rewrites.
You get the code, access and documentation, with no lock-in.

I work with founders and operators as a product-minded engineer. I ask why before I build, flag risks early and keep the scope honest, so the product you launch is one people will actually use.
See all servicesHow it works
Working together should reduce friction, not add to it. Here is what each project looks like.
We agree on the user, the problem and the first version, and write down what is in and out of scope.
I design the data model and interface, then build in short steps with working demos along the way.
I deploy, hand over the code and docs, and we decide the next release from real feedback.
What you get
Use one offer on its own or combine them. Each has a clear job.
Cut the idea down to the smallest product that proves demand, then plan the build around it.
Secure sign in, teams and permission levels so each user sees exactly what they should.
Stripe powered plans, trials and invoices that make charging customers simple and reliable.
Clear data views, charts and exports that help your users see value every time they log in.
Language model features inside your product, from content generation to analysis and automation.
Clean APIs, background jobs and cloud deployment designed to handle growth without rewrites.
Tools
The tools I use for this service and what each one is for.
| Category | Tools | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Frontend | HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React | Responsive, maintainable interfaces |

| Data | SQL | Reliable, queryable data |
| AI and automation | OpenAI API, n8n | AI features and background workflows |
Hiring for SaaS development is risky when you cannot tell who actually does the work. Everything on my services is done by me, personally. I do not hand projects to unvetted subcontractors or pass them to junior staff.
I review my own work before it reaches you, and I explain my decisions in plain language so you can judge them. If something is outside what I do well, I will say so and suggest a better option.
