Collaborations

Developer for startups: from idea to launch, with one point of contact.

When time and budget are tight you need someone who knows what to build first and what can wait. I've worked with several startups and can follow the whole project: product, interface, code, servers.

Who I work with

  • Founders with an idea who want to reach a working MVP
  • Startups without a CTO, or with a still-small tech team
  • Teams that need one more person for a while, without hiring

What I can do for you

I've collaborated with several startups and I know how it goes: shifting goals, limited cash, not enough time. I build the product in stages, so every release is already usable and can be tested with your first users.

If the idea calls for it I can add AI features (assistants, content search, automations) from the first release.

The whole project, followed end to end.

You don't need four suppliers who never talk to each other: from the first draft to going live you work with one person. My strength is code; interface, backend and hosting are complementary skills I cover as far as a solid MVP needs.

Idea and UI/UX

I turn the idea into simple flows and screens you can test. Enough for an MVP; for a full brand I work with a designer.

Frontend

Vue, Nuxt and React: fast interfaces that suit every device and are ready to grow.

Backend and APIs

Databases, access control, payments and integrations with the services your product needs.

Hosting and releases

Test and production environments, automatic deploys, backups and monitoring.

Ways to work together, with no long commitments.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It's the smallest version of the product that lets you test the idea with real users. We include only the essential features and postpone the rest: the first meeting is there to make that choice.

Yes, when the product changes often it's the best way: short sprints, a shared backlog, a demo at the end of each sprint and priorities reviewed together. When the scope is already clear I prefer a fixed price.

It's measured in weeks, not months, but it depends on what's inside. After the first meeting you get a written estimate with milestones and timing.

Yes: we start from the feature that validates the idea, release early and add the rest as the first feedback or funding arrives.

You do: repositories, hosting and services are in your name and the code is documented, so a future CTO or another team can pick it up without depending on me.

I prepare the handover: documentation, repository rules and onboarding for new developers. If needed I can stay on as hourly support.
