Founder MVP build

A practical full-stack developer for founders who need the first serious product version.

I help founders turn a product idea, messy prototype or half-built app into a working web product with backend, database, auth, deployment and a realistic release path.

When this helps

This is for founders who do not need a huge team yet, but do need one person who can understand the product problem, make technical decisions and get something real in front of users.

Built for

Founders validating a SaaS, marketplace, portal or workflow product.

Teams with a prototype that is too fragile for real users.

Products that need auth, payments-ready architecture, admin views or integrations.

Early teams that want one accountable full-stack owner before hiring a larger team.

Why this is credible

Product-to-code ownership

I can move from unclear requirements to database shape, API contracts, UI flows, deployment and a ranked next-step plan.

Commercial product context

Bella AI involved student management flows, assessments, attendance, multi-tenant admin and role-aware access rather than a decorative prototype.

Honest scope control

If a project needs documents, payment-provider setup or business decisions before implementation, I call that out early instead of pretending code alone solves it.

Outcomes

  • A scoped MVP or feature sprint that can be shown to users.
  • Frontend, backend, database, auth and deployment connected in one product path.
  • Important edge cases surfaced before they become expensive.
  • Clear technical notes for the next developer, investor demo or product phase.

Process

  1. Clarify the user, painful workflow, must-have feature and deadline.
  2. Map the data model, auth, roles, integrations and deployment constraints.
  3. Build the smallest useful version and test the critical flows.
  4. Leave a practical roadmap for the next release.

Relevant proof

Bella AI shows the commercial pattern: Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase/PostgreSQL, RBAC, RLS migrations, realtime flows, Playwright tests, Sentry and PostHog in a real operational product.

FAQ

Can you work from a rough idea?

Yes. The first useful deliverable can be a short product/technical map before writing a lot of code.

Can you help with payments?

Yes, once the business account, provider documents and compliance requirements are ready. I will not hide those dependencies.

Do you build investor-demo projects?

Yes, but I prefer demos that are close enough to the real product path so the work is not thrown away.
