Web apps and SaaS

A product that has outgrown spreadsheets, or an idea that needs a first version real customers can use. I build it end to end, from the interface down to the API and the database, and I stay for what comes after launch.

What you get

A front end people like using.React and Next.js, a small design system, every loading, empty and error state thought through, and pages that stay fast on a phone.
An API that holds up.Node.js, or PHP with Laravel or Symfony and API Platform, validation shared with the front end, and rules enforced on the server, not only in the UI.
Data that stays separated.Multi-tenant products where the database itself keeps one customer’s data away from another’s, with PostgreSQL row-level security.
Tests you can lean on.Unit, integration and end-to-end tests against real PostgreSQL in containers, run on every push. My own product has more than 1,600.
AI where it earns its place.Text generation, data extraction or an MCP server so your team can use the product from Claude or ChatGPT, with clear limits on what the assistant can reach.

How we start

A call about the problem, the users and what a first useful version is.
A written scope with a fixed price for that first version, or a monthly retainer for ongoing product work.
Weekly progress on a staging server you can click through, not a demo at the end.
Launch, monitoring, and the next iteration based on what users actually do.

Rate

From €70 per hour, a fixed price for a well-scoped first version, or a monthly retainer. I also join existing teams as a senior engineer.

Remote, from Slovakia

I work remotely from Nitra, Slovakia, in the CET time zone, in English. Working hours overlap fully with the UK and the rest of Europe, and with US East Coast mornings. You get one person from the first call to launch, progress you can click on a staging server every week, and invoices from an EU company with VAT reverse charge for business clients.

Questions

Can you join our existing team instead of building alone?

Yes. I worked remotely in a product team at Lokalise and in a team of six on RiverStream. I am used to code review, tickets and shipping behind feature flags.

Who owns the code?

You do. The repository lives in your GitHub or GitLab organisation from the first commit.

Do you use AI to write code?

Every day, and openly. Architecture and security decisions are mine, and generated code goes through the same review and tests as everything else. How I work with AI.
