East Coast • New York
New York is the most competitive software market in the country. In-house engineering teams at funded startups, large agencies with heavyweight portfolios, and offshore vendors all compete for the same clients. The businesses that turn to independent developers are usually looking for one of two things: either they've been burned by agency overhead and want someone who ships, or they have a specific problem that doesn't fit a template and need technical judgment, not account management.

// THE MARKET
New York clients know what good software looks like. They've used Stripe, Notion, Linear, and Figma. They're not going to be impressed by a WordPress site or a Webflow build, and they'll notice immediately if the code quality is low. What they're willing to pay for is someone who can think through their problem, scope it precisely, and deliver on a fixed price without a retainer that stretches to six months.
// LOCAL CONTEXT
The industries where custom software has the clearest ROI in New York are legal, financial services, real estate, and media. A boutique law firm running client intake on paper is losing billable time every week. A media company managing licensing deals in spreadsheets is creating liability. The build cost is small relative to what the dysfunction costs annually.
// WHAT WE BUILD
Built VIBE CRM, LaunchWise, and multiple internal platforms from scratch. I know what breaks at scale and what to build right the first time.

Stack for this service
// PROCESS
15 to 30 minutes. You tell me what you need. I tell you if I can build it, how long it takes, and what it costs. No pitch.
I write a clear scope document: what is included, what is not, timeline, and fixed price. One document. No surprises.
I build in focused sprints with real progress updates. You see working software, not status reports.
Deploy to production. 30 days of post-launch support. Most issues resolved same day.
// FAQ
A focused SaaS MVP with auth, billing, and the core feature set typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. The scope document defines exactly what ships in the first version. You get working software, not a prototype.
Yes. Stripe subscriptions, usage-based billing, free trials, upgrade/downgrade flows, dunning, and webhook handling. Billing is one of the most complex parts of any SaaS and I have built it many times.
Multi-tenancy is a core pattern I build into every SaaS from the start. Each tenant gets isolated data with row-level security. Tenants can never see each other's data.
Yes. Most of my client work is fully remote. I am based in Virginia and serve clients across East Coast. Everything is async-friendly: scoping, updates, and delivery all happen over documented channels so you always know where things stand. Same-day responses during business hours.
Tell me what you need. I will send back a full scope and fixed price within 24 hours. No agency overhead. No middlemen.
