CUSTOM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Your product is built by an engineer, not a sales department

Mobile and web apps, backends that handle load, interface design. You talk directly to the person who writes the code and owns the deadline — no account managers, no status calls, no retelling through third parties.

01 — SERVICES

I take on projects where the solution has to hold together: one person is responsible for architecture, code and deadline, so nothing gets lost in handoffs.

MOBILE
Mobile apps

iOS and Android from a single codebase with Kotlin Multiplatform where it makes sense, and native where nothing else will do.

MVP
Products from scratch

From an idea to a version you can show to users and investors. We build the shortest thing that's already useful.

WEB
Web apps

Customer portals, dashboards, internal tools. Fast interfaces you won't have to apologize for.

BACKEND
Backends under load

APIs, queues, data processing. Designed so that traffic growth is a reason to celebrate, not to be on call.

DESIGN
Design and UX

The interface is designed together with the logic, not stretched over it. One author, one consistent system.

NOT SURE
Is your task still vague?

That's a normal place to start. We'll sort it out together, and you'll get back a problem statement you can actually work with.

02 — METHOD

No surprises in the invoice or the timeline: every stage ends with something you can open and try.

DAY 1
Conversation

A short call or a written brief — your choice: what the business does, where it hurts, what you use now. Sometimes it turns out you don't need development at all — I'll tell you so.

DAYS 2–3
Estimate and plan

Architecture, stages, risks and a price range on a single page. No 40-page appendices, no terms you'd need a lawyer to decode.

WEEKS 1–2
Working skeleton

The core user flow end to end: screens, data, deployment. At this point it's already clear whether we're building the right product.

THEN
Two-week iterations

Access to the repository and staging from day one. Plans change — you'll know the cost of a change before I start on it.

AFTER LAUNCH
Handover or support

I stay on for further development or hand the project over to your team, with documentation people can actually read.

03 — WORK

A few things I've built and shipped.

Skill — multi-sport tracking app

Android and iOS, Kotlin Multiplatform. I worked on it as a KMP developer in a team of 7.

  • 100,000+ installs on Google Play
  • Moved file handling to kotlinx-io, removing 204 lines of platform-specific code
  • Set up a multi-module Detekt configuration with custom rules to keep the team's code consistent
View on Google Play
ConstructX — materials calculator for construction and renovation

My own app. One Kotlin Multiplatform codebase with Android, iOS, desktop and web targets — live on Google Play.

  • Compose Multiplatform UI, MVI with MVIKotlin and Decompose, SQLDelight
  • 19 Gradle modules, screenshot tests with Roborazzi, custom Detekt rules in CI
View on Google Play
Sales analytics for marketplace sellers

My own service for running my marketplace store: Android and iOS apps with a Ktor backend.

Updating a Flutter app to target API 36

A jobs and services marketplace built with Flutter. The move from API 35 to 36 broke the edge-to-edge layout — found and fixed within a day.

04 — ESTIMATE

An estimate in three days — then you decide

The document stays with you whether or not we work together. You can take it to any contractor — it's a fair way to get acquainted.

WHAT'S INSIDE
Architecture outline and key decisions
TIMELINE
Stages with dates, not "about three months"
BUDGET
A price range and what moves it
RISKS
Where the project could stall and what to do about it
Free · NDA on request · no obligation to continue
Need an in-depth review of an existing codebase? That's a paid first stage with a fixed price.
05 — STACK
Kotlin · Kotlin Multiplatform · Swift
Jetpack Compose · Compose Multiplatform · SwiftUI
Ktor · PostgreSQL · Redis · S3
Docker · CI/CD · cloud or your own servers
TypeScript · Go · Python
React · Next.js · React Native
Figma · a design system for your project

The stack is chosen for the task, not for the résumé. If it's cheaper to build on off-the-shelf services, I'll say so — even if it makes the invoice smaller.

CODE, ACCESS AND DOCUMENTATION STAY IN YOUR ACCOUNTS FROM DAY ONE.
06 — WORKING TOGETHER
COMMUNICATION
English, mostly in writing: a shared chat, written updates and short demo videos. Calls when they genuinely help.
HOURS
07:00–16:00 UTC — a full overlap with the European business day.
PAYMENT
Invoices in EUR or USD, paid by bank transfer. Fixed price per stage.
CONTRACT
A contractor agreement with the scope agreed stage by stage. NDA on request.
07 — FAQ
Why should I trust you with my project?

Because the risk is capped by stages: the first is a free estimate, the second is a working skeleton for a fixed price. You decide whether to continue after each one, not at the very beginning.

Who exactly will build it?

The person you're talking to: architecture, code and release are on me from start to finish. For narrow areas I bring in specialists I trust, but responsibility for the deadline and the result isn't shared.

What if you disappear halfway through?

The repository, infrastructure and documentation live in your accounts from day one. Work is paid stage by stage — half upfront, the rest on delivery — so you never pay for more than the current stage.

How much does it cost?

It depends on scope, but you'll get a price range on day three — free and with no obligation. I work with a fixed price per stage or hourly, from €30 per hour — whichever suits you.

How do we communicate?

In English, mostly in writing: a shared chat, written updates and a short demo video at the end of every stage. Calls when they genuinely help. I'm online 07:00–16:00 UTC.

How do payments work?

You get an invoice in EUR or USD for each stage and pay by bank transfer. Half of the stage is paid upfront, the rest when you accept the result.

Describe your project — I'll reply within 3 hours

A couple of paragraphs about where things stand and what you'd like is enough. Then a short call or a written Q&A — your choice — and an estimate on day three.
