SaaS MVP development for founders who need to ship, not just plan.
Most MVPs stall for one of two reasons: they try to build everything, or they're built so loosely they can't survive real users. I scope the one workflow that proves your idea, build it on a stack that will still hold up a year from now, and get it live on AWS with the basics a real product needs.
#who-it's-for
- Founders validating a new SaaS idea who need a working product, not a slide deck
- Small businesses turning an internal process into a product they can sell
- Teams that need an MVP live before raising, pitching or onboarding the first customers
#what-you-get
Scope: the core workflow, what ships in v1 and what deliberately waits
Architecture: Next.js frontend, NestJS API, PostgreSQL or Supabase
Auth, payments (Stripe) and the integrations v1 actually needs
AWS deployment with CI/CD, environments and monitoring
A documented codebase your next engineer can pick up
#how-it-works
Scope
A 30-minute call, then a written plan: the core workflow, milestones and what's out of scope.
Build in slices
Working software every milestone, deployed to a real environment you can click through.
Launch
Production on AWS with CI/CD, monitoring and the security basics in place.
Iterate
Feature work, fixes and scaling once real users show what matters.

#faq
How long does a SaaS MVP take?
It depends on the core workflow, but a focused MVP is measured in weeks, not quarters. For example, Trainermetrics went from kickoff to a mobile app on the Play Store in 14 weeks. After the scoping call you get a written plan with milestones, so the timeline is agreed before any code is written.
What stack do you use for MVPs?
My default is Next.js on the frontend, NestJS on the backend, PostgreSQL (or Supabase) for data, and AWS for hosting. It's fast to build with and doesn't need rewriting when the product grows. If you already have a stack, I'll work in it.
Do I own the code?
Yes. The code, the cloud accounts and the infrastructure are yours. NDA and IP assignment are available from day one, and you get documentation and a handover at the end.
