Book a ConsultationSaaS Product Development for Founders & Product Teams
Hire a senior full-stack developer to take your SaaS product from an empty repository to paying users — architecture, billing, and infrastructure handled by one engineer, remotely.
Most SaaS builds run into the same three problems: a data model that can't support multiple tenants without a rewrite, billing bolted on after launch instead of designed in from day one, and infrastructure nobody on the team can operate. I design around those three before writing product code, then build on top of decisions that hold.
I work with founders and small product teams remotely, across time zones, communicating async by default with overlapping call time when it matters. You get one engineer who owns the architecture, the implementation, and the deployment — not a handoff between roles.
Who this is for
- Founders with a validated idea and no in-house engineering team
- Startups whose first version was outsourced and now needs to scale or be rebuilt
- Product teams adding a paid tier or multi-tenant support to an existing tool
What you get
Multi-tenant architecture
Data isolation decided deliberately up front, with the scaling path documented before feature work starts.
Subscription billing
Checkout, plans, proration, and webhook-driven state kept in sync with your own database, not trusted blindly.
Auth and permissions
Sessions, org/team/member roles, and an invite flow that doesn't leak data across tenants.
Admin and support tooling
The internal screens a team actually needs from day one — usage visibility, impersonation, feature flags.
Production infrastructure
CI/CD, staging, backups, logging, and alerting, handed over with credentials in your name.
How the engagement runs
- 01
Scoping call
A working session on the product, the users, and the constraints. You leave with a written technical plan whether or not we work together.
- 02
Architecture
Data model, tenancy, and infrastructure decided and documented before any feature work starts.
- 03
Build in slices
A working deployment on a regular cadence — real software to react to, not status reports.
- 04
Launch
Production cutover, monitoring, and a runbook your team can act on without me in the room.
- 05
Handover or retainer
A clean handover with documentation, or a rolling retainer if you'd rather I keep shipping.
Engagement options
MVP Sprint
Idea to shipped product, fast
4–8 weeks
Founders who need a real, usable v1 in front of users this quarter.
- Scoping workshop and a written technical plan
- Production build — app, API, database, auth, deployment
- CI/CD and a live deployment you own
- Regular demo checkpoints, async updates in between
Monthly Retainer
An embedded senior engineer, minus the hiring cycle
Rolling, one-month minimum
Teams shipping continuously who need senior capacity without a headcount req.
- A fixed block of engineering hours each month
- Feature delivery, code review, and refactors
- Works inside your existing tools — Slack, board, standups
- Cancel or pause with notice
Architecture Audit
An honest read on what's already built
1–2 weeks
Teams inheriting a codebase, pre-fundraise diligence, or diagnosing 'why is this so slow'.
- Codebase, infrastructure, and cost review
- Written findings ranked by risk and effort
- A prioritized remediation plan
- A walkthrough call to go through the findings
Proof, not promises
Jawalakhel Group of Industries
FMCG · Marketing Campaign
Built a campaign registration platform that handled 20,000 sign-ups across a two-week promotional drive. Automated confirmation workflows eliminated manual follow-up, reducing call-centre volume by 15–20%. Schema markup and Open Graph updates made every social share polished and click-worthy, while internal linking drove product discovery beyond the campaign itself.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build a SaaS MVP?
It depends on scope — billing, multi-tenancy, and third-party integrations each add time. You get a fixed quote after the scoping call, before any commitment, not a rate card guess.
Do you work with clients outside your time zone?
Yes — every engagement I've taken on has been fully remote. I hold overlapping hours for calls with your team and work async the rest of the day.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. Work happens in your repository, under your organization, on infrastructure in your accounts. There's no lock-in.
Can you take over a project another team started?
Often, yes. That usually starts with an architecture audit so we both know exactly what's being inherited before committing to a build plan.
What if the project needs more than one engineer?
I take on work I can deliver personally. If a project genuinely needs a team, I'll say so and help scope and hire it rather than stretching myself across it.
