I build production web apps that don't fall over after launch.

Full-stack engineer based in Antananarivo, working remotely with early-stage founders and small agencies. Django/Next.js MVPs, real-time features, and the deployment work most freelancers skip — done properly, from week one.

01 — offers

Four ways to work together, priced upfront.

Every range below is what the work actually costs — not a placeholder to get you on a call.

flagship 01

MVP Build

A Django/Next.js web app with auth, database, and hosting, built from scratch in 4–6 weeks — deployed properly with CI/CD from day one, not handed over as a zip file.

Best for: non-technical or early-stage founders who need something real, not a mockup.
$1,500 – $3,000 / project
Start an MVP
specialist 02

Real-Time Features

Live dashboards, chat, tracking, or notifications, built on WebSockets + Redis pub/sub and added to a product that already exists.

Best for: products that work, but need a "live" layer added.
$800 – $2,500 / scope
Scope real-time work
entry 03

Deployment Fix-Up

Replace manual VPS pushes with real CI/CD — Docker, GitHub Actions, and zero-downtime deploys, set up around your existing app.

Best for: apps that work but are painful to ship.
$400 – $900 / flat
Fix my deploys
entry 04

QA / E2E Testing

A Playwright end-to-end test suite with Gherkin scenarios written against your critical user flows.

Best for: teams without dedicated QA who want confidence before shipping.
$300 – $800 / suite

Not sure where to start? MVP Build and QA/E2E are the easiest first projects to scope from a single call. Real-Time Features and Deployment Fix-Up tend to come in as a second project, once there's an existing codebase to work from.

02 — process

How a project actually runs.

01

Discovery

A short call to scope what you actually need — and what you don't, yet.

02

Design

Data model and architecture decided upfront, before any code is written.

03

Build

Weekly check-ins. You see progress running in a real environment, not just in my editor.

04

Delivery

Deployed, documented, and handed over with CI/CD already in place.

03 — why work with me

What that actually means in practice.

Deployed from day one

Every project ships with proper CI/CD, not a "figure out hosting later" afterthought.

Real-time is a specialty, not an add-on

Built and run a live system handling WebSocket connections at scale for a real product, Mookdoo — not a tutorial project.

Prices shown upfront

You know the range before you message me — no "let's hop on a call to discuss pricing."

Bilingual, remote-first

Comfortable running a project in English or French, fully remote, async-friendly.

04 — recent work

Three systems this approach has been proven on.

05 — faq

Before you reach out.

An MVP Build usually runs 4–6 weeks. Deployment Fix-Up and QA/E2E projects are narrower in scope and typically wrap up in 1–2 weeks.

A deposit upfront to begin, with the remainder due at delivery for smaller projects, or split across milestones for larger ones. Exact terms are confirmed in a short written agreement before work starts.

You do, fully, once final payment is made — repo access, deployment credentials, and documentation included.

Yes — that's normal for most MVP projects. The Discovery step exists specifically to turn a rough idea into a scoped plan.

Yes. QA/E2E and Deployment Fix-Up work in particular are a common fit for small agencies that don't have that capacity in-house.

Yes, on request — ongoing maintenance or feature work can be scoped separately once the initial project ships.
