Solo Build Studio
Independent software studio — one builder, full ownership

A single experienced engineer to design, build, and ship your product.

No account managers, no junior devs learning on your dime, no scope creep from a growing team. You work directly with the person writing the code, from first sketch to production launch.

Is this the right fit?

This studio works best for a specific kind of project. Being upfront about fit saves everyone time.

Great fit

  • You have a clear problem and want a working product, not a pitch deck.
  • You're a founder, small team, or internal champion who can make decisions quickly.
  • You need a first version (MVP), a focused rebuild, or a well-scoped feature — not a 40-person program.
  • You value a direct line to the person actually building, over a large agency team.
  • You're comfortable with transparent, async-friendly communication (written updates, short calls).

Probably not a fit

  • You need a large multi-team build with 24/7 on-call coverage.
  • You require a fixed-team agency with account managers and layered sign-off.
  • The project is primarily legal, compliance, or hardware work with no software component.
  • You need staff-augmentation to sit inside an existing large engineering org full-time.

How a project runs

A simple, predictable process designed for solo-builder speed without sacrificing clarity.

  1. 1

    Share your brief

    Fill out the guided project brief — project type, goals, capabilities, budget, and timeline. Takes about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fit & scoping call

    A short call (or async written exchange) to clarify goals, confirm fit, and rough out scope and approach.

  3. 3

    Proposal & plan

    You receive a written proposal: scope, milestones, timeline, and price — no surprise line items later.

  4. 4

    Build in the open

    Regular check-ins and visible progress as the product is built, with room to adjust as you learn.

  5. 5

    Ship & support

    Launch the product, hand over what you need, and agree on ongoing support if you want it.
