Hiring a developer is scary. Here's why this isn't.

You own everything from day one.

The code lives in your repo. It's deployed on your accounts. If we never speak again, your product still runs.

Fixed price, fixed scope.

We agree exactly what gets built before you pay a cent. No surprise invoices, no scope creep.

Built for real, not a demo.

I've designed and led a production platform from scratch. This is the same engineering, scoped to one core flow.

Like the build? Keep me on.

Once your MVP is live and validated, you can bring me on as a monthly retainer to take it further — or hand it to your in-house team. The code is yours either way.

Featured Reviews

I had the pleasure of working with Osaf, and I can confidently say he exceeded every expectation. He is extremely smart, curious, and consistently punctual. An absolute gem to work with. During our engagement, he contributed far beyond his role: Built complete test pipelines for both the frontend and backend from scratch, robust, clean, and reliable. Demonstrated deep understanding of asynchronous systems and implemented solutions that were efficient and well-architected. Showed excellent backend engineering skills, especially in Django. Created automation scripts to streamline frontend workflows, including automated tag-adding tools that saved our team significant time. Writes excellent documentation. In fact, when he first joined us as an intern, we tasked him with fixing the backend setup documentation (which had several issues, especially around PostgreSQL). He handled it meticulously and improved the onboarding process for every future developer. He is proactive, communicates clearly, and brings a problem-solving mindset to every task. Truly a standout engineer with a bright future ahead. I'd work with him again without hesitation.

I hired Osaf for a few small Django site updates, and he ended up improving much more than expected. He proactively fixed layout and content issues, cleaned up templates, and modernized the site overall. He worked in the CST timezone, which made communication smooth and quick. He delivers clean, professional results without needing constant direction. Fast, responsive, and easy to work with - will definitely hire again.

Great work from Osaf. He did the project exactly as requested.

Outstanding experience. Osaf quickly understood our existing Django and Next.js application and resolved several backend, frontend, and AI-related issues with precision. Their debugging approach was structured and efficient, and communication was excellent throughout the project. Everything was delivered on time with clean and maintainable code. I would absolutely work with them again and highly recommend them for complex full-stack and AI-related projects.

FAQ

I'm not technical. Can I actually run this after you hand it over?

Yes — that's the entire point. The handoff call and documentation exist so you can run, deploy, and find another developer to extend it later without being locked to me.

What if I need changes after the 2 weeks of support?

We set up a simple monthly arrangement, or you bring in your own developer. Either way, the code is yours and documented.

What counts as 'one core flow'?

The single most important thing your product does — e.g. a user signs up, does the main action, and gets the result. We define it precisely in week 1.

What do you need from me to start?

A clear idea of the core flow and any wireframes or references you have. We refine the rest together in week 1.

Let's see if your idea fits a 4-week build.

A 20-minute call, no pitch. I'll tell you honestly whether this is the right scope — and if it isn't, what to do instead.
