Full-stack product engineering

Web and mobile products from first commit to production, built by someone who's done it for 18 years.

The short answer

Updated

Full-stack product engineering is building the whole product, not one feature: the web app, the mobile app, the backend, sign-in, billing and the admin panel. I lead these builds myself, with Araneux engineers when it's bigger, usually 8 to 14 weeks to a first release for $15k to $60k.

Typical budget
$15k to $60k
Timeline
8 to 14 weeks to a first release
How it's quoted
Quoted per release, after a short scoping week.

The whole product, not just the AI bit.

AI features need a product around them: auth, billing, dashboards, a mobile app, an admin panel someone can actually use. I've been building those since 2008, and with a team at Araneux since 2014.

I scope tightly, ship in small releases and stay through launch. You get software your next engineer can pick up, not a codebase only I understand.

Questions people ask

Do you work alone or with a team?

Both. I lead every project personally. For bigger builds I bring in engineers from Araneux, the studio I've run since 2014.

Which stack will you use?

Usually Next.js and TypeScript for new products. If you already have Laravel, Vue or something else, I'll work in it rather than rewrite it.

Who owns the code?

You do, from the first commit. It lives in your repository and your cloud account.

Can you take over an existing project?

Yes. I start with a paid code review so we both know what we're dealing with before agreeing on a plan.

How much does it cost to build an app?

A first release usually costs $15k to $60k. A web app with one user type sits at the low end. Web plus mobile, payments, several roles and integrations sit at the high end. Quoted per release, after a short scoping week.

How long does it take?

8 to 14 weeks to a first release, shipped in slices every week or two, so real users see it long before the end.

What do you need from us to start?

A page on what the product does and who it's for, and what the first release has to include. Designs help but aren't required.

I keep flexible hours and move my day to overlap with yours, whether that's a morning standup in New York or a late release in Sydney.
