I'm Aakash, Solo Developer

I build what others quote 10x for.

I've been building software since 2017: web apps, mobile apps and the servers under them. On Upwork that adds up to 9,000+ hours, and you deal with me directly the whole way.

All consultation is free. If we don't end up working together, you still leave the call knowing what to build next.

What I Build

Full-stack, front to back.

Frontend, backend, the database, and whatever all of it runs on.

Web Development

Web apps people actually use.

Dashboards, marketplaces, SaaS products and the odd landing page. These days it is mostly React, Next.js or Nuxt in front and Node or Laravel behind, and I check page speed before I call anything done.

What I Offer

One person. The full stack.

When something in your product breaks, you message one person, and that person can fix it, whichever layer it lives in.

Most of my hours

Web Development

Anything from a booking flow to a full SaaS with billing and an admin panel. We pick the stack together, based on your team, not on what I happen to like.

iOS and Android

Mobile Apps

One codebase for both stores, plus the API behind it, so the app and the backend never argue about whose bug it is.

AWS, GCP, Azure

Cloud & Infrastructure

Hosting, CI/CD, monitoring, and an eye on the bill. That last part is why I now offer to cut cloud bills for free.

introductory offer

I slash your cloud bill.
For free.

I dig into your code, your architecture and your servers, on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Supabase, Vercel or wherever the money goes. For 6 months I keep half of what you save. After that it is all yours. Save nothing, pay nothing.

How I Work

Simple. Honest. Direct.

There is no agency in the middle and no junior developer quietly doing the work. It is me, start to finish.

Step 01

You tell me what you need.

We get on a free 30-minute call. Mostly I ask questions, because what people ask for and the problem they actually have are often two different things.

Active listening

30 min free call

Step 02

I give you an honest quote.

You get an estimate in hours, split by part of the job, so you can see where the time goes. It usually comes in lower than the agency quote you got last month.

Step 03

I build it in the open.

A short update every day I work on it. If you change your mind halfway, tell me and we change the plan.

Step 04

I stick around.

Shipping is not where I disappear. Most of my clients stay for years (one has been with me since 2020), and if something breaks in production you message me, not a ticket queue.

What Clients Say

Don't take my word for it.

He doesn’t just execute tasks, he improves them, often suggesting smarter and more efficient approaches along the way.
Nic · ShopGlu · Upwork client since 2020

★★★★★

"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - a rare and shining talent in coding. Aakash solved numerous challenges, created amazing functions and made valuable updates. He is incredibly skilled, patient and fantastic to collaborate with. If Aakash can’t solve it, no one can. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
Shed Shimove · Twitter for audio (record, playback and share)Upwork review

★★★★★

"Aakash is the first person I call when something on Klick.now needs building or fixing. He gets what I mean even when I explain it badly, tells me straight when an idea is not worth the time, and then ships something better than what I asked for. No drama, no surprises on the invoice, and he genuinely cares how the product turns out."
Riccardo · Founder, Klick.nowClient

Honest Billing

You pay for what I build. Nothing more.

Hourly, logged and boring on purpose. The interesting part should be your product, not my invoice.

What agencies often bill for

  • A paid "discovery phase" before anyone writes code
  • Senior rates for work a junior ends up doing
  • A month of silence, then an invoice
  • Three people to email before anything gets fixed

What you get from me

  • Hours logged per session, with what was done in each
  • Me on every call and in every commit
  • A daily update, even when it says "stuck on X, here is why"

I'm quick on most jobs because I've usually hit the same problem before. Your quote is based on the work itself, and it often comes in lower than people expect.

Radical Transparency

You see every hour.

Every session logged with start time, end time, and what was done. No vague "development work" line items. This is a real sample from an active project.

23 Jan1.08Prod hotfix: race condition in cart state
10 sessions 22.16 h

Every client gets a shared log like this. Updated after every session. You always know exactly what was built and when.

Let's Build Something

Tell me what's broken, or what you want built.

Book 30 minutes with me. All consultation is free. If I'm not the right person for it, I'll say so and tell you who might be.

Plenty of these calls end with free advice and no project, and that's fine. Weekends are off, booked by the wife.
