The first call is free. I usually reply within 2 hours.
A big team often means an account manager, a project manager, handovers and hours of coordination that you pay for. I work differently: a team sized to the scope, without extra layers of management. One accountable person leads the project, and specialists join when the scope needs them. Before we start, you know who does what.

Phases
First, what lets you test the idea with real users.
| Phase | What you get |
|---|---|
| Phase 1: MVP | Sign-up, booking, payment, admin panel |
| Phase 2: growth | Notifications, reports, calendar sync |
| After launch | Fixes and new features at a steady pace |
Who does what
One person leads. A specialist joins only for a specific task.
| Task | Who |
|---|---|
| Scope, architecture, code, launch | Lead senior |
| Client contact and weekly update | Lead senior |
| A narrow, specialised problem, if one comes up | An expert matched to it, approved by the client |
What could move the date
Better to name it at the start than halfway through.
- To checkA third-party system with no documentation
The integration may take longer than planned.
How we handle it: I test it in week one, and the schedule has a buffer.
- To agreeNew ideas mid-phase
Scope grows while the date stays the same.
How we handle it: New features go into the next phase with their own quote.
What protects the project
The project doesn't live in one person's head.
- Repository in the client's account from day one.
- Docs on setup, deployment and key decisions.

GetInDataWhat clients say
„We worked with Vlad on a Next.js project. He knew what he was doing from day one, didn't overcomplicate things and came up with better approaches on his own. I especially value his work on the site's performance. Everything was delivered as agreed.”
George B. CEO, finance company
„We needed to build an MVP fast to test our idea in practice. Vlad helped us choose sensible solutions and focus on what we really needed for launch. We didn't try to build everything at once, yet he made sure the project could grow later without starting from scratch.”
Alex N. Product Manager at StartupX
„Vlad got up to speed with our project quickly and pointed out several problems we hadn't treated as priorities. He sorted out our database and security issues. I liked that he didn't just complete tasks but clearly explained why something was worth changing and what the consequences could be.”
Michał R. CTO at TechCorp
„We had an app where every bigger change was becoming a problem. Vlad helped us clean up the code, rebuild some of the older parts and introduce automated tests. Working on new features is much easier now. I also appreciate his patience in explaining technical topics to people outside the development team.”
Sara K. Product Owner at WebSolutions

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build a product?
I give you the price, scope and timeline in writing after our call, before you decide.
How long does an MVP or a full app take?
An MVP usually takes 2 to 6 weeks. I build full products in phases, and each phase has a date in the quote. If the idea needs shaping first, product discovery takes about a week.
Software house, freelancer or one senior?
A big software house gives you many hands, but you also pay for the layers: account manager, project manager and coordination. A freelancer is cheaper but often handles only their piece. I lead the project end to end, I'm your single point of contact and I'm accountable for the result, and the team is sized to the scope: experts join for the hard parts, without extra layers of management. AI tools now speed up writing and checking code, so a small, well-chosen team gets more done than it used to. When you compare companies, ask who you'll talk to every day and who owns the result.
When is a classic software house the better choice?
When the project is very large and long, with many people working on it in parallel for months. When you need 24/7 on-call support or a big team embedded in your company. I don't offer that, and I'll tell you so on the first call.
What happens if you're ill or on holiday?
The project doesn't depend on my memory. The code is in your repository from day one, and the docs cover setup, deployment and key decisions. Dates are agreed with buffers. If needed, I can bring in a specialist, and the project can be handed over to another developer or team.
Are you an AI software development company? How do you use AI?
I use AI tools every day to write and check code faster. Code written with AI goes through the same review and tests as any other code, and I'm accountable for the result. AI features in your product, such as an assistant or automatic document processing, are treated like any other phase: first we check on your data that they give reliable results, and only then agree scope and price. For narrow topics an expert joins. If you already have an AI-built prototype, I help get it ready to release safely to users.
Which technologies do you use: Node.js, React, Python, mobile apps?
Mostly JavaScript and TypeScript: React, Next.js and Node.js, plus PHP with Laravel and PostgreSQL databases. Python isn't my main language. I build web apps that work well on phones, but native mobile apps aren't my specialty. If your project needs one, I'll say so straight away.
Do you guarantee the product will succeed?
No, and nobody honest can. In writing you get what depends on me: scope, price and timeline. Success also depends on the market, the offer and how the product is promoted.
