Taking on work from Oct 2026

I build the first version, and the team that keeps it.

Nine years shipping production software, and thirteen of my own products to show what that looks like when nobody else is holding the pieces together.

What I take on

Three shapes, and I will tell you if yours is a fourth.

Zero to launched

An idea to a thing in a store or on a domain. Schema, API, app, payments, release pipeline — I own all of it.

  • Web, React Native, or both from one monorepo
  • Payments wired: Razorpay, Stripe, RevenueCat, UPI
  • Store submission and release, not just a build

Typically 8 – 16 weeks

Lead the team

Tech lead on an existing team. Architecture, review standards, delivery cadence — and writing code, not only talking about it.

  • Schema and API design you will not be rewriting in a year
  • Mentoring — I did this for two years at Masai
  • Handover that survives my last day

3 – 12 months

AI & agent tooling

Anthropic SDK, MCP servers, tool use, prompt caching. Internal tooling that actually gets used, not a demo.

  • MCP servers over your own systems
  • Agent workflows with evaluations, not vibes
  • Cost and latency budgeted up front

4 – 10 weeks

How it goes

No discovery phase that bills for a month.

  1. 01

    A call, free

    Thirty minutes. You describe it, I tell you whether I am the right person — including when I am not.

  2. 02

    A written shape, within a week

    Scope, the stack and why, the milestones, and the price. One document, fixed, no hourly estimate that drifts.

  3. 03

    Build, visible the whole way

    Your repo, your cloud accounts, from day one. Weekly builds you can open. Nothing lives on my machine.

  4. 04

    Handover that holds

    Documented architecture, a running CI pipeline, and a walkthrough with whoever takes it on next.

Start

Tell me what you are building.

Four lines is plenty: what it is, who it is for, when you need it, and what is already built. I answer every email within two working days.

Email me the brief

The button prefills the subject and the four questions. No form, no CRM, no drip sequence — this site is static and stores nothing.
