Discuss Your Project

Custom software that works for your business. Built once,
owned forever.

I design, build, and ship your unique product end-to-end. Interfaces so intuitive that your team never needs a day of training.

Fixed price You own the code No vendor lock-in

Why Partner With Me?

You don’t need a dev team. You need one expert who owns the outcome.

Off-the-shelf tools costing more than they save?

When SaaS platforms get expensive, rigid, or force your business to work their way, it’s time for software built around how you actually operate.

Your workflow is your edge

If what makes you competitive can’t be copied from a template, it shouldn’t be built on one. Unique workflows can slash the time routine tasks take — often dramatically.

Own everything. No exceptions.

Your accounts, infrastructure, and source code stay yours. No per-seat fees. No platform holding your business hostage.

Talk directly to the builder

No account managers. No relay. Decisions happen in real time with the person writing your code.

What I Do

Full-stack cloud software designed to feel effortless — for you and your users.

User-first system design

Every screen and workflow is self-explanatory. Your team learns by using the product.

Third-party API integration

Connect payment platforms, REST APIs, webhooks, or your own AI key.

Automated emailing, notifications & alerts

Keep your team and customers informed without lifting a finger.

Client portals & B2B login areas

Secure, branded spaces for customers or partners.

Custom design & interface polish

Thoughtful details and animations that make the product feel premium, not generic.

Security built to your requirements

Strong data protection, MFA/OTP, and precise role-based access.

Cloud infrastructure & deployment

If needed, I set up hosting and deployment pipelines while you keep full ownership and access.

Technical SEO foundations

Meta tags, semantic HTML, sitemaps, and performance best practices from day one.

Post-launch support

30 days of fixes included. Extra work available at my hourly rate.

What I Don’t Build

Clear boundaries so there are no surprises later.

  • Blockchain, smart contracts, or crypto payments
  • Real-time trading or sub-second latency systems
  • HIPAA-compliant infrastructure
  • Fully native mobile apps
  • Large-scale enterprise systems that need a full engineering team
  • Marketing content strategy & copywriting (technical SEO is included)
  • Hardware, IoT, or firmware
  • Direct credit-card processing (I integrate trusted providers such as Stripe)

Trust & Credibility

Ownership & Pricing

  • You own the code. No licence fees, no exit fees. The system is yours the day of handover.
  • Transparent fixed-price projects. One agreed price before work starts. (Any third-party hosting or services you choose are discussed and decided by you up front.)

Process & Communication

  • Clear Statement of Work — what’s in and what’s out — before we begin.
  • Direct line to the builder. Every conversation is with the person writing the code.
  • Fewer meetings, faster progress. I cut coordination overhead and use AI to accelerate delivery.

Accountability & Security

  • Fair, balanced contracts that protect both sides.
  • Personal accountability — my reputation is on the line with every project.
  • Limited roster by design so quality and attention never slip.
  • Secure by default: authentication, encryption, and role-based access from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a typical project cost?

Most fall between $15,000 and $35,000. Simple dashboards start around $5k-$12k. Complex systems can reach $60k+. Final price is based on detailed scope, not your budget.

How long does development take?

Typically 6-12 weeks for a medium project. Simple tools: 3-4 weeks. Complex systems with many custom workflows: 4-6 months.

Who owns the code?

You do. After final payment you own the custom code written for your project. I retain rights only to generic reusable components. No licence fees. No lock-in.

Can I request a prototype before development?

Yes you can. Prototypes can be included in the scope as a separate milestone. Explore a sample prototype of a Mockup Viewer where users paste AI generated mockup html code to see the results.

Can I host the software myself later?

Yes. You receive the full code and documentation. You can host it anywhere. The code is never obfuscated or encrypted against you.

What if my hosting provider has a security breach?

Infrastructure breaches are the provider’s responsibility under their SLA. I am responsible only for application-layer vulnerabilities in the code I write. This is clearly stated in the contract.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Every project includes 30 days of bug fixes. After that, support and new features are available at $100/hour.

What if I need a feature that was out of scope?

We define a clear Statement of Work first. Anything outside it is a change order - quoted separately so you decide whether to proceed. No surprises.

Are you really a one-person operation?

Yes. I keep the model intentionally lean and use AI plus proven frameworks to deliver at the level of a small expert team — with faster decisions and lower overhead passed on to you.

Can another developer take over later?

Yes. The stack is modern, modular, and easy for any experienced JavaScript developer to work with. Training can be arranged at my hourly rate if needed.

How do you deliver so quickly?

Strategic use of AI for repetitive work, deep experience, and standardised components. This lets me focus almost entirely on your unique business logic and workflows.

What technology do you use?

A battle-tested modern stack that is framework-agnostic and modular. Fast to build, easy to maintain, and straightforward for others to extend. Unique strategies are sometimes needed for unique projects.

Can you work with our existing designer?

Yes. Your designer can supply style guides, content, or mockups. The contract includes allowances for design iterations that can be handled by them.
