The whole product, built by one engineer who owns it end to end.
Most web applications do not fail on the frontend. They fail where the data model met the first requirement nobody planned for, and the workaround became the architecture. I build the whole slice — schema, API, interface, deploy — so those seams do not exist.
Why people get in touch
Handoffs lose the reasoning
A design goes to a frontend engineer, who queries an API built by someone else, against a schema decided months earlier. The decisions that matter get made three times, by people who cannot see the other two.
The MVP has to survive v2
Built too loosely, it is thrown away in six months. Built too rigidly, it never ships. The judgement is knowing which parts genuinely need to be right the first time.
Nobody owns the boring parts
Auth, billing, migrations, error states, the empty screen a user sees on day one. They are unglamorous and they are most of what makes a product feel finished.
What the work includes
Data modelling
The schema first, because it is the hardest thing to change later.
API and business logic
Typed end to end, so the client cannot ask for something the server will not give.
Interface
Built against real data and real latency, not a happy-path mock.
Auth and billing
The parts everyone underestimates, wired properly the first time.
Deploy and observability
Shipped somewhere you can watch it, with the ability to roll back.

How it goes
A call, not a pitch
Thirty minutes on what you are actually trying to ship. If I am not the right person, I will say so and usually know who is.
A written scope
Before any money moves, you get the outcome, the approach, the price, and what is explicitly out of scope. No hourly surprises.
Work in the open
Branches you can read, demos over status reports, and a written update every day. You always know where things stand.
A clean handover
Documentation, tests, and a walkthrough with your team. The goal is that you do not need me afterwards.
Questions
Not sure if this is what you need?
Thirty minutes, no pitch. If it turns out you need something else — or someone else — I’ll say so.
