Hi, I'm Daniel – your MVP Guy.

I build your first testable MVP in 72 hours.

No prototype tinkering. I ship usable flows with a polished UI – built with Vue, PHP, MySQL and Tailwind.

What I build

Laser focus on what matters: MVP scope, implementation, launch.

Scope & prioritization

We trim your idea down to the first usable core. No feature bloat – just clear journeys and measurable value.

Implementation

Built with a pragmatic stack: Vue.js on the front end, PHP + MySQL for reliable backends, Tailwind for crisp UI.

Launch & handover

Technical launch, documentation and handoff. If needed, I stick around for prioritized next steps.

Price your MVP

Roughly estimate the investment for your first launch and understand how features impact scope.

Baseline includes: project setup, design system, three tiny functionalities (e.g. CRUD views) and one external/API integration.
What the levels mean:
  • Tiny — small UI tweaks or simple CRUD views, usually ~1 dev day.
  • Complex — multi-step flows, branching logic or data-heavy parts, ~2 dev days.
  • API / External — integrations with payment, auth or partner APIs, ~3 dev days.
    No extra functionality added yet.

    Baseline €4,500
    Features €0
    Estimated dev time ~6 days
    Estimated total €4,500

    Comms Scheduled

    Process

    Minimal overhead, maximum transparency.

    1. Kickoff

      Deep dive into audience, pain and business logic. Outcome: a crystal clear MVP scope.

    2. Build

      Sprints with Loom updates or staging links. Decisions stay lightweight and async.

    3. Launch

      Deployment, lightweight analytics and handoff. Optional support for the next 2–3 iterations.

    Let's talk

    2–3 bullet points are enough. I'll reply within 24 hours with a clear read.

    I work focused and remote without clogging your calendar. You get honest scope feedback and an MVP that feels like a product, not a throwaway prototype.

    FAQ

    Quick answers to questions I get before we start working together.

    We start with a 45–60 minute call to align on goals, constraints and success criteria. Afterwards you get a scoped plan and timeline.
    Yes. I plug into founders or small product teams as a solo builder, sharing async updates and Looms so your calendar stays calm.
    Absolutely. The codebase is set up with docs and onboarding notes, so your in-house or external devs can take over the next iterations easily.
    Vue.js, PHP, MySQL and Tailwind are my defaults. If a project needs something different, we discuss it in the kickoff to keep complexity low.
    After launch I can stay on a lightweight retainer for experiments, onboarding new users or helping you hire the first engineer.
    I typically have one slot every 4–6 weeks. If I’m booked, I’ll still review your idea and let you know when I can start.
