MVP and feature builds

A first version of your product, or a new feature for an existing one, built end to end: UI, API, database, and deployment.
Starting at
$1,500
Typical timeline
Quoted per milestone

Who it's for

Founders who need a working first version to put in front of real users, and small teams with a feature that keeps slipping down the backlog because nobody has the time to own it end to end.

What's included

  • A short call, then a written plan with milestones before any code is written
  • A React and Next.js frontend
  • An API in Python (FastAPI or Django), Node (NestJS), or Rails, whichever fits your team and what you already run
  • Database design and deployment on AWS or Vercel
  • Clear written updates and a README the next developer can pick up

How pricing works

The starting price covers a small, well-scoped build. Bigger builds are split into milestones and quoted one at a time after the first call, so you always know what the next step costs and can stop after any of them.

Why me

I've spent 10+ years building web products, including running my own startup and working in product ownership. That means I'll ask about the users and the business before I ask about the framework, and I'll push to cut scope so the first version ships.
