SaaS development for founders at every stage

You have funding, a product vision, and a gap where the engineering should be. We've built this kind of platform before — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing, user management, onboarding flows, permission systems, and the dozens of smaller decisions that compound into a product founders are proud to demo. We don't do discovery theater. We scope quickly, build a working version you can put in front of real users, and ship production-quality code from day one. No prototype handoff, no 'we'll refactor later.'

Your previous developer left. A co-founder split. You inherited a platform you didn't build. Or you built the first version yourself and it got away from you. We take over codebases. Not reluctantly — this is a real, valued engagement type. We start with a structured audit: architecture documentation (we write it if it doesn't exist), dependency health, security gaps, test coverage, known bugs, and a prioritized list of what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. You see the full picture before we touch anything. After the audit, we assume ownership. We become the engineer you wish you'd had from the start.

Your team is good. There's a specific body of work — a complex feature, an architectural decision, a performance problem — that needs someone senior on it. You don't need to hire; you need to borrow judgment. We embed into your team's workflow, work directly in your codebase, attend standups if that's useful, and ship the work. We operate the same way a senior employee would, except you can stop when the engagement is done rather than carrying the headcount.

The platform works — technically. But it's on PHP 7, a framework nobody wants to touch, or an architecture that made sense in 2017 and has been fighting you ever since. Features take three times as long as they should. Developers quote the codebase as a reason they won't join. We do structured rewrites and modernizations. Not big-bang rewrites — those rarely end well. We assess what's actually load-bearing, identify the seams, and rebuild incrementally so you're not offline for six months while we refactor in a branch. The goal is a platform you're proud to hand to the next engineer you hire.

Your product is live. You don't need a build partner right now — you need someone in your corner. Security patches when vulnerabilities are disclosed. Bug fixes before customers notice. Dependency updates before they become emergencies. Feature additions without accumulating more tech debt. We offer ongoing maintenance retainers and hourly work for exactly this.
