I Build Apps That Make$200/hour Devs Look Expensive

Not because I'm cheap. Because constraints made me dangerous.

Sound Familiar?

01The Pattern

Your Last 3 Hires Probably...

  • Shipped features that crashed on mobile
  • Needed hand-holding through every decision
  • Asked what to build instead of why
  • Took 2 months to ship what you needed in 2 weeks
02Agencies

The Agency Problem

$150k budgets. 6-month timelines. Bloated teams. You're paying for their overhead, not your product.

03Offshore

The Offshore Gamble

Cheap hourly rates. Expensive debugging. You save money until you don't.

04Assumptions

The Perfect-World Assumption

Apps built for fiber connections that crash the moment a user hits real-world networks.

AI-Native by Default

I Don't Just Use AI.
I Build With It.

Most developers bolt AI on after the fact. I build with it as infrastructure—and ship 3-5x faster, with half the headcount.

Agentic workflows

Plan, build, test—on autopilot.

MCP-wired tooling

Automation that knows your stack.

On-device & edge AI

Inference without the cloud bill.

Offline-first PWAs

Sub-200ms. Works on 2G.

Offline-First PWAs

Apps that never fail your users—even on 2G

3-Week MVPs

Test market fit before burning runway

What If I'm Too Slow?

I ship MVPs in 3 weeks. If I miss the deadline, you don't pay for the delay.

What About Communication?

Async-first. Daily Loom updates. UTC+2 means your overnight is my workday.

What If It Breaks?

I test on 2G. I test on 2018 phones. If it works for me, it works for everyone.

Let's Work Together

Need a Developer Who Actually Ships?

Product thinking, not just code execution

Async mastery (UTC+2 overlap)

AI-powered velocity (3-5x faster)

Emerging market expertise

Building for Emerging Markets?

Zimbabwe-first wedge strategy

Technical + commercial thinking

De-risked, validated ideas

10-year Africa opportunity

I work with 3-4 clients at a time to maintain quality. Book a call before I fill up.
