What clients actually hire us for

Custom web application development

React and Node.js builds from your spec or from scratch — MVPs, internal tools, customer portals. Built to ship, not to impress in a demo.

MVP & startup product development

Idea to a working, fundable product. We scope the smallest version that proves the thing works, then build that.

API development & integrations

Payment gateways, CRMs, internal systems, AI/LLM APIs — connected without duct tape or broken auth on day 90.

Legacy system modernization

Moving off Bubble, Webflow, old PHP, or a system nobody trusts anymore — without losing your data or uptime mid-migration.

Custom dashboards & portals

Admin panels, reporting dashboards, B2B customer portals — the tools that actually run your operations.

Ongoing development support

Slot in as your part-time dev team. No minimum hours, no retainer, cancel any week.

One senior developer. Two invoices.

Same person-hours, same seniority, same deliverables. The difference is who's paying for a Manhattan office and a sales team.

Per year, one developer$288,000$38,400
You keep $249,600 a year — your entire seed round's runway extension, or the marketing budget you actually needed.

US/UK agency rates are market estimates for comparison. Our $20/hr is the published rate on our Upwork profile — the same rate our current US clients pay.

You'll know exactly who is writing your code

No account manager relaying messages, no anonymous team behind a ticket queue. You get the developer's name, their Upwork profile, and their calendar.

63 reviews. 4.8 stars. 129 contracts closed.

★★★★★

Where other developers proposed something complicated, Deepak found a simpler method and explained it until I understood it. He even flagged how to protect myself in the contract. Next project, I call him first.

Daryl S., Upwork client, USA
★★★★★

They put real effort into understanding what I wanted, asked when they needed more information, and delivered exactly that. I'm already on a second project with them.

Fern K., Upwork client
★★★★★

Responsive, dependable and accommodating with every ask. Extremely professional and patient with my many changes. Very pleased with the finished product.

Four ways you can walk away

The architecture review is free.You keep the roadmap whether or not you hire us.

Stop any week.No notice period, no retainer, you pay only for hours already logged.

Hire through Upwork.Their escrow and dispute process, at the identical rate.

Your code, your repo.NDA signed first, full handover, no access held hostage.

The honest answers

Yes. It's the published rate on our Upwork profile and it's what our US clients pay today. No onboarding fee, no PM surcharge, no minimum hours. Prefer fixed price? We build the quote from the same $20 rate.

That's why the architecture review comes with a fixed-price roadmap, not an hourly estimate with an asterisk. You approve the scope before we start billing against it.

React and Node.js on the frontend/backend, MongoDB or PostgreSQL depending on your data, deployed on whatever cloud you're already using. If you've heard the term "MERN stack" — that's this, minus the buzzword.

Yes — that's most of our MVP clients. We turn a rough idea into a scoped architecture doc before any code gets written, the same way we did for Nexxarra's hospital system.

You do. NDA signed before any work starts, full repo access from day one, no held-hostage handover at the end.

Yes — plenty of clients use us for a specific feature, a rebuild of one module, or overflow capacity rather than the whole build.
