SaaS MVP development, from spec to paying customers

I build the first version of your product — or take the prototype you already have — to something customers can sign up for, pay for and rely on. One engineer end to end, in weeks, with the boring production parts done from day one.

What "MVP" means here

Small, but real. Not a clickable demo: a product with accounts, permissions, payments if you charge, data you can trust, and a deploy you can repeat. The feature list is short on purpose. The production basics are not optional.

How it works

  1. Scope call. What the product has to prove, who pays, and what the first release can leave out. You get a written scope, a timeline and a quote.
  2. Regular demos. Working software on a staging URL, not status reports. You can change priorities between demos.
  3. Production from the start. Error tracking, backups, a one-command deploy and rollback, and basic monitoring are set up in week one, not the week before launch.
  4. Launch and handover. Documentation for whoever works on it next, and access to everything in your name.

What I've shipped

  • GoStore — a multi-tenant e-commerce SaaS for Algerian merchants: Arabic/French storefronts, local payments, courier integrations and custom domains.
  • AutoFacture DZ — an invoicing SaaS for Algerian auto-entrepreneurs with gap-free numbering and PDF invoices with Arabic text.
  • Rooqn — a B2B wholesale panel with real-time pricing and a double-entry ledger.
  • Three production MVPs in 90 days as technical team lead at a startup studio, with a team of four.

Where agents fit

I use coding agents for much of the typing. That's why the timelines above are realistic. What I don't hand over: deciding what gets built, the data model, anything touching money or permissions, and the review of every change before it ships.

Questions clients ask

How long does an MVP take?
It depends on how many roles, payment flows and integrations the first release needs, so the first step is cutting scope to what proves the idea. For reference: as a team lead at a startup studio, my team of four shipped three production MVPs in 90 days.
Which stack will you use?
Laravel with Vue and Inertia when the product is mostly forms, dashboards and business rules; React and Next.js when it needs a public, SEO-heavy front end or your team already works in TypeScript. If you have a stack, I'll work in it if I can do it well, and say so if I can't.
I already have a prototype built with an AI tool. Do we start over?
Usually not. I start with a short audit to see what can stay, then keep what works and rebuild what's fragile — typically auth, data access and payments.
What happens after launch?
You own the code and the infrastructure accounts. I can stay on for maintenance and new features, hand over to your team with documentation, or both.
