Build MVP · From €1,800

Freelance MVP developer. Your idea in production in 2–3 weeks, without burning time on things that don't validate your business.

Most founders spend weeks writing boilerplate before their first user even tries the product. I've already written that boilerplate. You bring the idea. I ship the product.

The real cost of starting from scratch

Before writing a single line of your actual product, someone has to write the boilerplate: authentication, database setup, transactional emails, error monitoring, project structure... That's weeks of work that has nothing to do with whether your idea works or not.

I've already done all of that. Every MVP I build starts from a production-tested base. From day one, every hour goes into your product — not into setup.

Recognise yourself?

Is this for you?

You have an idea and want to validate it fast

Without building a team, without months of development, without burning budget before knowing if the market responds.

You have a product on paper and need to bring it to production

The design is done, the business model is clear. What you need is someone who builds it right from the start — so you don't have to rebuild it in six months.

You want to integrate AI into your product but don't know where to start

You don't need a data scientist or an ML team. The AI that truly adds value in an MVP is much more accessible than it seems — and I've already integrated it.

You've tried to launch before and got stuck in setup

Auth, database, emails, deployment... you never got to build the actual product. That's exactly the problem MVP Factory solves.

MVP Factory

What normally takes weeks is ready here from day one

Every MVP starts from a base already built and tested in production. From day one I work on what matters: your product.

Login and registration working on day one

No weeks lost setting up authentication. Users can register, log in and manage their session from the first deploy.

Database ready to evolve

Structured, typed, with migrations under control. You can add fields, tables and relationships without breaking anything.

Transactional emails from day one

Welcome, password recovery, notifications. The emails your product needs are already connected and working.

AI included

AI integrated where it makes sense

Not as a demo, not as a marketing feature. Real AI inside the product — content generation, recommendations, automations — ready for production.

Full visibility in production

Structured logs and error control from the first day. When something fails, you know exactly what happened and where.

Code ready to hand off

Documented, organized and without artificial dependencies. If you bring in a team or another developer in the future, they can pick it up without starting from scratch.

Process

From idea to product in production

Week 0

Definition

Before writing code, we define together the real scope of the MVP. What's in, what's out, what can be added later. This conversation saves weeks of development and avoids the most expensive mistake: building what you don't need.

1
Weeks 1-2

Development

With the boilerplate already solved, every hour goes into building your product. No detours into setup, no improvised technical decisions. Visible progress from day one.

2
Week 2-3

Delivery and deployment

Your product in production, actually working. Documented and deployed so you can keep iterating — alone, with your team or with me.

3

Tech stack

Technology chosen to not slow down the business

Every technical decision has a business reason behind it. I don't use the most popular — I use what best solves the MVP problem.

Node.js + TypeScript

Errors caught before production

A typed backend eliminates an entire category of bugs that only appear at runtime. Less debugging, more shipping.

Fastify

API that doesn't become a bottleneck

Lightweight and fast by default. Your MVP won't need to be re-architected because the API can't keep up with traffic.

PostgreSQL + Drizzle

Data you can evolve without fear

Relational database with a modern ORM. Migrations are controlled — adding a field doesn't mean a production incident.

Zod

No corrupt data entering the system

Every input validated at every entry point. Bad data is rejected before it causes problems deep in the business logic.

Astro + Tailwind

Frontend that loads fast out of the box

No Javascript sent to the browser that isn't strictly necessary. Your product feels fast from day one, without optimisation work.

OpenAI / Amazon Bedrock

AI that actually does something useful

Integrated where it adds real value — content generation, smart search, automations. Not a chatbot bolted on as an afterthought.

About me

20 years building real digital products

I'm a fullstack developer with over 20 years working directly with startups and SMEs. I've been fractional CTO at Locavorian and Branbee — making technical decisions with real business impact, not just writing code.

I've launched over 8 MVPs in sectors like marketplaces, loyalty platforms, e-commerce and management tools. Some are still active years later. I've seen firsthand what fails and what doesn't — and MVP Factory is the result of all that learning.

I work with you directly, no intermediaries. When you hire me, I'm the one doing the work.
