About Me

Hey, I'm Michael Smith — a full-stack developer who specializes in helping startups build and ship their products fast. From MVPs to production-ready apps, I bring speed without sacrificing quality.

I've built everything from Shopify storefronts to custom kiosk systems to CMS migrations. I work lean, communicate clearly, and deliver on time — because when you're building a startup, every week counts.

Frontend

React, Next.js, Flutter, Tailwind

Backend

Node.js, Python, PHP, Firebase

What I Do

Startup-speed development with production-grade quality.

MVP Development

Got an idea? I'll turn it into a working product in weeks, not months. Lean, functional, and ready for your first users.

Web Applications

Full-stack web apps built with modern frameworks. React, Next.js, Node — whatever the stack, I ship clean, scalable code.

How I Work

A straightforward process built for startup speed.

01

Discovery

We hop on a call. I learn your vision, your timeline, and your users. No fluff — just the details I need to start building.

02

Design & Plan

I map out the architecture, pick the right tools, and share a clear roadmap so you know exactly what's coming and when.

03

Build & Iterate

I build in sprints, shipping working features early and often. You see real progress every week, not just status updates.

04

Launch & Support

We go live. I handle deployment, monitor for issues, and stick around for the inevitable post-launch tweaks.

My Work

Real projects, real results. Here's what I've been building.
