Senior Full Stack Developer | AI Agents Automation | NextJs Node React

Building your MVP shouldn’t feel chaotic or risky! I help founders turn early ideas into real, functional web products through a clear, structured development process, without guesswork or technical noise. Most MVP projects I work on fall in the $3k–$9k USD range. Most of the founders I work with don’t have a technical team and don’t need one. What they need is clarity, a realistic plan, and a partner who can execute efficiently. One of my core goals is to be efficient with my clients’ budgets. Building MVPs that include only what’s necessary to validate the idea, reduce risk, and move confidently into the next stage of the business. **How I work** This is not just development. It’s a guided product process: 1. Idea → Clarity I refine your vision, define the core use cases, and turn everything into a clear, actionable development plan. 2. UI/UX before code I design the interface first (desktop + mobile), aligned to what will actually be built — no over-design, no wasted effort. 3. MVP development I build full-stack web applications with clean architecture, scalable foundations, and production-ready deployment. 4. Launch & next steps Once live, I iterate based on real usage and define clear next steps for growth. **What I typically build** - Startup MVPs - SaaS platforms - Web applications with dashboards and multi-roles - AI-powered MVPs and integrations - Internal tools and custom web platforms Most MVP projects I work on fall in the $4k–$9k USD range, depending on scope and timelines. Projects are structured in clear stages, so you only move forward once each phase is approved. **Core skills & tech stack** Web Development Web Applications MVP development Full Stack Development AI Integrations React.js Next.js Node.js NestJS Express.js AWS Vercel Stripe Twilio WordPress
