Packages

Fixed prices for fixed scope.

Every price is a starting price for the scope written under it, agreed in writing before anything begins. If your project is bigger the number goes up and I tell you why before you commit. I do not send estimates that quietly move.

Backend & API build

Start here

A production service with the parts that usually get skipped: real authentication, a migration path, and documentation your frontend team can work from.

Included

NestJS or Django REST service, your choice of Postgres or MongoDB
Authentication with refresh rotation and token revocation
Role and permission model scoped to your actual org structure
Versioned migrations that can be applied to a live database
OpenAPI documentation and a Postman collection
Dockerfile and a written deployment runbook

Not included

Frontend work
Payment processing
Mobile applications

Document-to-data pipeline

Turn passports, forms, invoices or transcripts into structured data you can audit. Every extracted value carries a provenance label so you can tell what the model inferred and what it read.

Included

Structured-output extraction against a schema you approve
Provenance on every field: read, inferred, researched or reconstructed
Graceful degradation to manual entry at every failure boundary
Cancellable, reversible runs with stale-run recovery
Cost controls, so you are not paying a model to read a form you generated
A test suite over the extraction behaviour

Not included

Model training or fine-tuning
Chatbots

Full product build

A complete web product, front to back, built by one person so nothing is lost between a frontend team and a backend team.

Included

Next.js App Router frontend
NestJS or Django backend with the auth and permission work above
Admin interface for the people who will run it
Multi-language support if you need it
Deployed to your server with a runbook you own
Two weeks of post-launch fixes included

Not included

Native mobile apps
Payment processing
Ongoing feature work

Care plan

Keeping something running after it ships. Sold by the month, cancellable with 30 days notice, and deliberately honest about what it is not.

Included

Dependency and security patching, monthly
Backups with a restore actually tested each quarter
Uptime and error monitoring with a written monthly report
Up to 4 hours of small changes per month
Response within one business day

Not included

This is not a 24/7 on-call service. I have a full-time job and I sleep in UTC+6.
Out-of-hours emergency work is billed separately and is not guaranteed.
New features. Those are a separate scope.

Terms

The boring parts, stated up front

Payment

40% to start, the rest on handover. Anything over six weeks splits into milestones. You own the code outright on final payment, in writing.

Changes

Two rounds of revision inside the agreed scope. A change to the scope itself gets a written change order with its own price, before I do the work.

Timelines

I have a full-time job and twenty hours a week. My dates already account for that. If I fall behind I tell you early rather than on the deadline.

When I say no

If your project needs managed cloud at scale, payment processing, or a native mobile app, I have not shipped those and I will say so on the first call.
