Common
Inquiries.

Anyone who quotes you a number before reading your requirements is guessing. Simple SaaS platforms start around $10-20K. Fintech platforms with custom billing engines, multi-tenant architecture, and AI integrations are significantly more. I run an architecture phase before either of us commits to a number, because scope discovered late costs three times as much to fix.

A lean MVP takes 5-10 weeks. A full-scale platform with payments, user management, and AI integrations takes 3-5 months. Timelines slip when scope grows mid-project. That is why I invest time upfront in architecture and planning before a single line of production code is written.

Both. An MVP built on the wrong architecture becomes technical debt fast. I build MVPs with the right foundations so scaling does not require a rewrite. If you need a throwaway prototype, I am not the right hire.

Yes. I have refactored legacy systems into performant architectures, eliminated race conditions in financial workflows, and migrated codebases that were actively costing companies money in downtime and support tickets. I start with an architecture audit so we both know exactly what we are working with before touching anything.

Mostly startups and high-growth product teams. Company size is not the filter. Seriousness is. I work with teams who understand that architecture decisions made in month one still matter in month eighteen.

I implement designs and advise on UX patterns for technical interfaces. I am not a visual designer. If your project needs bespoke brand identity or motion design, you need a dedicated designer in the process. I will tell you that honestly upfront rather than after the first invoice.

Yes. LLM APIs, RAG pipelines, streaming interfaces, automation workflows. I integrate AI where it solves a real problem and the existing architecture can actually support it, not as a feature checkbox to put on a pitch deck.

React, Next.js, Node.js, Laravel, AWS, Stripe, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, and LLM APIs including OpenAI and Anthropic. I use what the project actually needs, not whatever I learned most recently.
