Work with me · Taking on new Projects

You bring the problem. I'll ship the product.

I work with founders and small teams who need software built properly the first time. Fixed scope, clear pricing, and you own everything I write.

Sound familiar?

You have an idea and a deadline, but no one to build it.
I take it from rough notes or designs to a live product people can pay for.
Your MVP works, but it slows down or breaks as users grow.
I find what will fail first and fix it without stopping the product.
Payments are failing, duplicated or impossible to reconcile.
This is my deepest specialty. I've rebuilt payout systems handling billions of naira.
Your team needs solid backend help, but not a full-time hire yet.
I join as an embedded engineer, ship features and raise the bar for everyone else.

How it works

From first email to launch, you always know what's happening and what it costs.

  1. 1

    Intro call

    30 min · free

    You tell me what you are building. I ask questions and tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.

  2. 2

    Written proposal

    Within 3 days

    Scope, price, timeline and what is not included, in one page. No work starts until you agree.

  3. 3

    Build

    Weekly milestones

    A demo every week on a live link, a short written update, and a shared board so you can see progress any time.

  4. 4

    Launch and handover

    + 30 days support

    Deployed to your accounts, documented, and supported for a month while real users arrive.

Questions founders ask

Who owns the code?

You do. Everything lives in your repository and your cloud accounts from day one.

How do payments work?

For product builds, 40% upfront, 30% at a midway milestone and 30% at launch. Embedded work is billed monthly in advance.

What if the scope changes halfway?

It usually does. We agree changes in writing with their effect on price and timeline before I build them.

Do you design too?

I can build from your designs or work with a designer. For simple products I can produce clean, usable interfaces myself.

What time zone do you work in?

UTC+1, with at least four hours of overlap with Europe and the US East Coast.

Tell me what you're building.
