MVP & Product Development

For a founder with a validated idea and a real budget — this is a milestone-gated production build with a written kill point, not a cheap prototype sprint.

You have an idea and need it built — properly, by one senior person who owns the whole thing, not a rotating agency team. Design, backend, web, mobile, payments, and the infrastructure to run it: shipped, not just prototyped.

What you get

End-to-end build

Frontend, backend, database, auth, and payments — the whole product, not a slice you have to finish yourself.

Cross-platform

Web, iOS, and Android from one codebase where it fits, so you reach users everywhere without three separate builds.

Launched and running

CI/CD, environments, and monitoring so the product ships to real users and keeps working after it does.

Work beyond a scope cap is a separate line item at its published price, agreed before it starts — that is what keeps a fixed price fixed. No hourly billing. See every line item →

How I work

This is proven, not aspirational: GemID is a cross-platform SaaS I built solo end to end — decision engine, payments across web and mobile, multi-tenant workspaces, fifteen languages — and shipped to the App Store.

FAQ

Can you build both the app and the backend?

Yes — the whole stack, from database and API to web and mobile clients, built and shipped by one person who owns all of it.

How fast can an MVP ship?

It depends on scope, but working software in weeks rather than quarters, with visibility the whole way.

Do you keep working on it after launch?

If you want — ongoing development or maintenance can continue on a retainer, or you take a documented, maintainable codebase and run it yourself.
