For startup founders who need to ship, not plan. Day 1 scope. Days 2–13 build. Day 14 you demo to real users. Fixed fee, clean hand‑off, you own everything.
I build with AI every single day. I will send you what actually works, what is overhyped, and what you should be paying attention to next. No fluff, just signal.

No spam. Just useful AI intel for builders.
Clear answers about scope, pricing, ownership, stack, and what happens after launch.
A production‑ready thin slice: real auth, one core flow, payments/analytics (where relevant), docs, and a live deploy. You own the repo and infrastructure.
Fixed scope, fixed fee. I agree the thin slice with you on Day 1 and price it upfront - no hourly overages or surprise invoices.
You do. Repos are transferred to you, and cloud/services are created in your organization, with access handed over securely at demo.
Defaults are React/Next.js or a lightweight React app, a Node/TypeScript backend, hosted Postgres or Mongo, Stripe for payments, and simple product analytics. I adapt where your context needs it.
New ideas go to the backlog for Sprint 2. This keeps the thin slice on track so you hit a Day‑14 demo and learn sooner.
I can schedule Sprint 2 immediately: hardening, onboarding polish, integrations, and the next 1-2 features driven by your user data.
An MVP here is usable, deployable software designed to prove a job‑to‑be‑done. It is not a throwaway prototype.
A ruthless focus on the few features that prove the thesis. Everything else waits.
I compress discovery into decisions. Define one job‑to‑be‑done, one persona, one success metric.
Ship the thinnest slice that creates value. Production‑grade stack, zero ceremony, crisp documentation.
Demo, deploy, docs. You own the repo, infra, and runway to iterate or raise.
Ship an AI‑powered product your users can talk to, query, or automate with - so you validate demand before burning months on R&D.
Go from idea to paying customers with a production SaaS - auth, billing, core workflow - so you can start charging in weeks, not quarters.
Get your app into the App Store and real hands fast, so you learn what users actually do before committing to a full roadmap.
Launch a site that converts visitors into leads or customers - not just a pretty page that sits there.

I'm Dhruv - I build AI apps, SaaS platforms, and mobile MVPs for startup founders. I spent four years at the BBC shipping election dashboards to millions of users, then partnered with the United Nations, OCCRP, and 20+ startups to design and ship products end-to-end. Today I specialize in AI-powered products: LLM integrations, intelligent agents, RAG pipelines, and the full-stack infrastructure around them. My toolkit is React/Next.js, Node, React Native, Python, MongoDB, and every major LLM API. Fixed scope, 14-day sprints, clean handoff - you own everything.

Tell me about your idea. I'll send back a 3‑slide scope sketch within 24h.
