01 — Context
Why founders in United States hire us for full-stack developer work.
Hire a full-stack developer to own features end-to-end — database schema, API, frontend, auth, and deployment — without handoffs.
US-based product teams and Y-Combinator founders get senior engineering at roughly half the cost of a US senior contractor (US senior React devs run $120–$150/hour). Morning EST / afternoon PST overlap and a single accountable engineer end-to-end.
02 — Approach
How we work.
The fastest way to ship is when one engineer owns the slice from database to browser. We work across the stack with a strong preference for TypeScript end-to-end and opinionated choices that reduce cognitive load.
Morning EST and early PST overlap (your morning is our evening). Stripe / Wise / wire transfer billing in USD. Async-first via Slack + Linear / Notion. You talk directly to the engineer shipping the code — never an account manager.
03 — Deliverables
Every engagement ships with:
- Backend API (REST, tRPC, or GraphQL)
- Frontend web application
- Database schema + migrations
- Auth, billing, admin tooling
- CI/CD pipeline + deployment
- Typical stack
- Node.js · Next.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · Redis · Docker
- Typical projects
- Early-stage startup shipping from zero · Rebuilding legacy monoliths with a modern stack · Fractional tech lead for solo founders · Taking a prototype to production

06 — FAQ
Questions about hiring in United States.
How do you handle US timezone overlap?
We overlap with EST mornings and PST early afternoons daily, with clear async updates outside those windows. Standups, code reviews, and planning sessions happen in real-time during overlap.
What currency and payment method do you accept from US clients?
USD via Stripe, Wise, or direct bank wire. Standard terms: 30% to start, 40% at milestone, 30% on delivery. Retainers are billed monthly in advance.
Can you sign NDAs / MSAs with US companies?
Yes. Standard NDAs and master services agreements are signed before kickoff. IP assigns to the client on final payment. We can sign your paper or use a simple MSA template.
Do you work with clients in India, the USA, and Australia?
Yes. I work with clients globally and have served teams across India, the USA, Australia, the UK, and Singapore. Indian clients are billed in INR; international clients are billed in USD (AUD on request).
How much does a custom SaaS or web app cost?
Custom web apps start at $10,000 for a focused MVP and scale with the feature set you choose on the quote estimator. Each additional feature (auth, payments, admin dashboard, real-time, etc.) adds $100. You get a full fixed quote before any work begins.
