🚀 I help founders and startups bring their ideas to life, from concept to live MVP in just 2–3 weeks.

I'm a Full Stack Engineer with over 5 years of experience shipping scalable web and mobile applications across fintech, edtech, and blockchain. My focus now is on helping early-stage founders validate ideas quickly by building lean, fast, and functional MVPs.

Whether you're looking to launch a marketplace, SaaS platform, internal tool, or an AI product, I can help you:
Architect your product,
Design a usable interface,
Build the full stack

Launch quickly, without wasting time or money

🔧 Core Stack
Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript
Backend: Laravel, Node.js, CodeIgniter, GraphQL
Mobile: React Native, Ionic
Database: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
Web3: DApps, Smart Contract Integration
Workflow: Git, REST APIs, CI/CD, Agile

Let’s build something amazing.

Everyone uses Facebook but only a few know the tech stack Mark Zuckerberg used to build it in 2004.



When Facebook launched at Harvard, it was built fast, cheap, and smart using simple but powerful tools.

​1. Programming Language - PHP

• Core backend was written in PHP
• Chosen because it was:
 – Easy to learn
– Perfect for rapid web development
– Great for handling forms & dynamic pages

​2. Database - MySQL

• Used MySQL to store: 
– User profiles
– Friend relationships
– Messages & posts
• Relational DB worked well because early Facebook was mostly structured data.

​3. Web Server - Apache

• Ran on Apache HTTP Server
• Standard choice in 2004 for PHP-based sites
• Reliable, open-source, and easy to deploy on shared servers.

​4. Frontend - HTML + CSS + Basic JavaScript 

• No React, no frameworks
• Simple HTML pages
• Minimal JavaScript for basic interactivity
• Focus was speed and usability, not fancy UI.

​5. Hosting - Linux Servers

• Ran on Linux
• Cheap, stable, and perfect for open-source tools
• Mark rented a single managed server.

​6. Version Control - None (at launch)

• Git didn’t exist yet (launched in 2005)
• Mark initially just updated files via FTP.

​Tech stack doesn’t make a startup successful.
Execution does 🚀.

Full Stack Engineer | I help founders launch MVPs in 2–3 weeks that attract 100+ users and real feedback

No alternative text description for this image

Dear recruiters,
If you are looking for someone with :

Java, Python, PHP;
React, Angular, Next.js;
PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB;
AWS (S3, EC2, ECS, EKS);
Unix system administration;
Git & CI with TDD;
Docker & Kubernetes

you’re not hiring a Full Stack Developer.
You’re hiring an entire IT department.

It’s a new week and just helped a founder launch a stripped-down MVP in 2 weeks.

> One core feature.
> 100+ early users joined within days.

Lesson: small, focused wins create momentum fast.

If users don’t understand your product in 10 seconds,
they won’t understand it in 10 days.
Confusion is expensive.

Founders, if you’re struggling with marketing and you don’t have funds, 

Leverage  organic channels first, use social media, content marketing, and community engagement to reach your audience without paid ads.

 You can follow this my playbook for free (https://lnkd.in/efPV2QXU)


If you have some funds, Collaborate with micro-influencers or complementary brands, they often cost little but can amplify your reach significantly.

The 100+ User Launch Playbook | Notion

You really don’t need money to start a business.


The biggest myth people believe is that you need more money or more time to start. In reality, what you need first is knowledge.

Business is harder than it looks, so you need to understand what you’re investing in, its ups, downs, and challenges.

Once you learn, take action: plan, execute, and adapt. With knowledge + action, your money will work harder for you later.

Start smart, start now, and the rest will follow.

An MVP that gets used is better than a perfect product no one opens.
Usage is feedback.
Silence is rejection.

After helping over a dozen startups launch AI‑powered MVPs, I’ve realized something: AI isn’t just a tool, it’s quietly rewriting how startups approach MVPs.

But here’s the catch: it’s not a replacement for validation. Too many “AI‑powered products” die because founders skip the one risky assumption they really need to test. ai  just lets you test it faster, cheaper, and with real users. 

My second article of the year is out, and it shows how founders can use AI smarter, not harder, to build products that actually matter. Check it out here:

How AI is Quietly Rewriting the MVP Playbook for Startups

After another 30-minute call with a founder today, I realized something:

Many people still want to build fancy ideas without:

• Testing assumptions
• Talking to users or validating demand

They just want something “cool” to throw into the market because they have the money.

I told them the hardest truth: we’ll focus on what actually matters. We’ll start small, build around a single core feature, and learn from real user feedback. 😀


Are you also doing the same mistake right now ??

With AI tools everywhere, founders often try to add AI just to impress. AI is sexy, but it can’t replace solving the real user problem.
I’ve seen AI MVPs fail because they focus on wowing users with clever tech instead of building something simple that people actually use,  AI should enhance the core experience, not be the experience itself.

My first article of the year is finally out! I hope it helps you build better MVPs and stronger startups.

Why Most MVPs Fail Before Launch and How to Actually Win

Founders, vibe coding is neither the present nor the future. Build your product on a solid foundation. Hire talent if needed, use stable tools.

Beyond landing pages or prototypes, anything vibe-coded will likely turn into a mess.

Founders, The fastest way to grow your startup:

> Talk to users early.
> Test messaging, onboarding, and value.
> Build what people actually use, not what you imagine.

Anything else you want to add?

New month. New energy. Fresh start.

February truly feels like a reset, a chance to refocus, take action, and make things happen.

Let’s make this month count.

the developers you look up to are nothing special. they've just been coding for longer..
