The idea came from a pattern I kept seeing with early-stage founders:

They don’t usually struggle with ideas.

They struggle with execution speed.

Either they:

-hire agencies that take months

-or try to build themselves and get stuck midway

I’ve been focusing on helping with:

-MVPs

-landing pages

-small SaaS products

Mostly handling everything end-to-end (frontend, backend, deployment).

What I’m still trying to figure out is:

What do founders actually expect from a setup like this?

Some tradeoffs I’ve noticed:

-speed vs long-term scalability

-polish vs shipping quickly

-fixed scope vs iterative builds

If you’ve worked with freelancers / agencies / solo devs before:

-what worked well?

-what didn’t?

-what would make this actually valuable to you?

Trying to refine this into something genuinely useful rather than just another “dev service”.

I am a full-stack product engineer focused on shipping MVPs and internal tools fast for early-stage startups.

I have 2+ years experience building production apps in Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL, FastAPI and Docker. I have worked on YC-style products involving dashboards, automation systems, compliance style workflows, scrapers, AI features, payments and real-time apps.

I am comfortable owning projects end-to-end:

Product thinking

UI/UX

Backend APIs

Database design

Deployment on AWS / EC2 / Docker

Recent work includes:

Automation platforms

Compliance and form heavy dashboards

AI powered internal tools

Custom SaaS MVP builds

Right now it’s very early — mostly the landing page + initial planning for the core engine. But the vision is:

visually create tables & relations

auto-generate FK logic

export clean Prisma + SQL

eventually import existing Prisma schemas

I'm building it in the open and would love feedback, contributors, or anyone interested in the problem space.

Recent projects I've built:

Codelens – AI-powered GitHub code analysis & collaboration tool with natural language code search, and AI-assisted pull requests.

Pulse – Website uptime and performance monitoring platform with real-time alerts and a clean analytics dashboard.

What I bring:

- Ability to take ideas from concept to production with minimal hand-holding

- Commitment to writing clean, scalable code that’s easy to maintain and iterate on

- Experience thriving in small, fast-paced, remote-first teams

- Eager to create tools that make developers’ lives easier and delight users in their everyday workflow

Tech stack:

Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

Backend: Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis

DevOps: Docker, AWS/EC2, Vercel, GitHub Actions, CI/CD

I’m now exploring new opportunities, ideally at early-stage or YC-backed startups, with a preference for remote roles. I’d love to hear from the community: what’s the best way to find these kinds of opportunities? Are there particular approaches or networks that have worked for you?
