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
Turn a Repeated Process Into a Working SaaS Product
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.
- Helped build 3 SaaS products at Growminion
- TypeScript, React, Node.js and SQL
- Frontend, backend and database in one team
- Code and documentation handed to you
Why work with me
Four Reasons This Works
Smallest useful version first
We cut the idea down to what proves value, so you launch sooner and learn from real use.
Built by someone who has shipped products
I helped build a rank tracker, an AI content engine and an HR platform, in code, from interface to database.
Modern, maintainable architecture
Clean APIs, role-based access and a SQL database designed to grow without rewrites.
Ownership stays with you
You get the code, access and documentation, with no lock-in.
A Technical Partner, Not Just a Contractor
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
A Clear Three-Step Process
Working together should reduce friction, not add to it. Here is what each project looks like.
- 01
Define and prioritise
We agree on the user, the problem and the first version, and write down what is in and out of scope.
- 02
Design and build
I design the data model and interface, then build in short steps with working demos along the way.
- 03
Launch and iterate
I deploy, hand over the code and docs, and we decide the next release from real feedback.

Built by the Engineer You Talk To
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.

A prototype exists but cannot handle real users.

You are not sure what to build first.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Have you built SaaS products before?
Yes. I have helped build three live SaaS tools at GrowMinion, covering local SEO management, content and copywriting, and HR management.
How long does an MVP take?
Most focused MVPs take 4 to 10 weeks, depending on scope and integrations. You see working demos every week, so there are no long silent stretches.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full source code, infrastructure access and documentation are handed over at launch.
Can you add AI features to my product?
Yes. I integrate language models for generation, summarizing, search and analysis, with cost controls and review steps built in.
What tech stack do you use?
Mostly Next.js, React, Node.js, MongoDB or PostgreSQL, Stripe and cloud hosting on Vercel or AWS. I choose based on your product, not habit.
Can you work with my existing team or codebase?
Yes. I can join as a technical partner, take over a stalled build or add features to an existing product after a short code review.
