MVP development services that end in a deployed product, not a deck.

Typical timeline

4–8 weeks to production

Team size

One senior developer — me

Stack

React 19, TypeScript, Postgres

Ownership

Your repo, your infra, day one

What you get

• A written scope document before any code — features, cuts, timeline, price
• Product and UI design done in-browser, not in a static mockup file
• React + TypeScript frontend with real routing, states and error handling
• Backend with authentication, database schema and row-level security
• Payments wired up (Stripe or Paddle) when the MVP needs revenue on day one
• Production deployment, custom domain, SSL and analytics before handover
• Plain-language docs so the next developer isn't archaeology-hunting
• Two weeks of bug-fix cover after launch, included

Why most MVPs die before launch

The failure is almost never technical. It's scope. A founder describes a product, an agency quotes the whole product, and twelve weeks later there's a half-built platform nobody has used. I cut the opposite way: find the one loop that proves the business, build that loop properly, ship it, and let real usage decide what's next.

• One core loop, built end to end — not five features at 60% each
• Everything that can wait until after first users, waits
• Weekly deployed builds so you're never surprised at the end

How the four-to-eight weeks actually run

Week one is scoping and the data model, because the schema decides how painful month three is. Weeks two to five are the build, with a deployed preview link updated as things land. The final stretch is hardening: edge cases, mobile, performance, analytics and the handover. You get a Telegram thread with me, not a ticket queue.

• Week 1 — scope doc, data model, design direction, staging environment
• Weeks 2–5 — core flows shipped behind a live preview URL
• Final weeks — hardening, Core Web Vitals, analytics, handover

What 'MVP quality' means here

Minimum viable is about surface area, not craftsmanship. The MVPs I ship are typed end to end, have real error states, load fast on a mid-range Android phone, and are structured so version two isn't a rewrite. A prototype that has to be thrown away is not cheap — it's just cheap-looking.

• TypeScript everywhere, no untyped API boundaries
• Lighthouse-conscious builds — fast LCP, no layout shift
• Auth and database rules written as if strangers will hit them, because they will

Working with a solo developer instead of an agency

With an agency you pay for a project manager, an account manager and the handoff losses between them. With me you get one person who scoped it, designed it, wrote it and deployed it — so nothing gets lost in translation and decisions happen in minutes. The trade-off is honest: I take a limited number of builds at a time, and I say no to projects that need a team of six.

Who this is (and isn't) for

Questions I get asked

How long does an MVP take?

Most land between four and eight weeks from kickoff to a deployed product. The variable is scope, not speed — a single-flow tool ships faster than a multi-role marketplace with billing.

What does MVP development cost?

There is no menu price. Scope drives cost, so I quote after a short call and a written scope doc. You see the number before any work starts, and it does not move unless you change the scope.

Do I own the code?

Yes. The repository, the infrastructure accounts and the deployment are yours from day one. No vendor lock-in, no license fee, no hosting hostage situation.

Can you take over a half-finished MVP?

Often, yes. I read the codebase first and tell you honestly whether continuing is cheaper than restarting. Sometimes the honest answer is restart, and I will say so.

What happens after launch?

Two weeks of bug-fix cover is included. After that most founders move to a light monthly retainer for iteration, or take the codebase in-house.
