Service

Full-Stack Product Development

One engineer responsible for the whole product: the schema, the API, the web portal, the mobile apps and the deployment. You get a single person who can follow a bug from a tap on a phone to a row in a table.

What is in scope

TypeScript back ends on Node.js with AdonisJS, NestJS or Express. React and Next.js front ends. Flutter apps. MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Redis underneath, and Socket.IO for anything that has to stay live. If your team already runs Laravel or Spring Boot, I work in those too.

Why one owner helps

Features usually stall at the hand-offs: the API team waits on the app team, and the app team waits on a spec. When one person holds the whole picture, a change to a fare rule can land in the database, the API and two apps in the same pull request.

What it looks like at scale

TaxiDex is the clearest example. It has more than 1,000 API routes, over 200 portal pages and two Flutter apps on Google Play, and I own all of it.

Questions

Can you take over an existing product?

Yes. I read the code first, get it building and deploying reliably, and then add features. Inherited and half-finished codebases are a normal part of my work.

Which stack will you choose?

The one that suits your problem and the people who will maintain it. For a new product I usually reach for TypeScript on the server, React on the web and Flutter on mobile.

Do you write tests?

Yes, on the parts that would hurt most if they broke, such as money, permissions and dispatch logic. TaxiDex has more than 3,000 automated back-end tests.
