I'm Ibrahim. I design and build custom mobile apps and websites, from napkin sketch to App Store, without the agency markup, the kickoff deck, or the guy whose job is forwarding your emails to someone else.

What you can build with me

01

Mobile apps, iOS & Android

From idea to both stores. I handle the submission paperwork, including the rejection emails Apple likes to send on Fridays.

02

Websites & landing pages

Fast, responsive, and nothing like a template with your logo pasted over someone else's layout.

03

MVPs for founders

A working product in about a week, built with Claude Code and my own code standards, so investors can tap something real instead of squinting at a slide.

04

Rescue & polish

An existing app that's buggy, slow, or ugly. I'll fix it without a lecture about who built it.

The work

I don't just build apps for clients. I build and ship my own. So I already know the boring parts nobody puts in the proposal.

Included in every project

Not add-ons, not tiers. This comes with every project, big or small.

Designs before code

You see screens before paying for mistakes.

A working version, early

A test build on your phone or a private link, not screenshots in a deck.

Launch handled

App Store and Play Store paperwork, or domain and hosting. Mine to deal with, not yours.

Bug fixes, for good

Reasonable bugs get fixed with no expiry date. New features are scoped separately.

How it works

Every project starts the same way. After that, the steps depend on what we're building.

Step 01 · Always

Discovery: I learn your business first

A short call and a questionnaire, so what I build fits how you actually work.

You get a written scope, a fixed price, and nothing starts until you sign off.

  • Your businessWhat you sell, to whom, and how you earn.
  • The problemWhat's slow, manual, or costing you today.
  • Your usersWho uses it, how many, on which devices.
  • Must-havesWhat ships first and what waits for v2.
  • What existsBrand, tools, data, and systems to connect.
  • ConstraintsDeadline, budget, and who signs off.

Steps 02 to 05 · Pick what you're building

On your phone on Day 1. In the stores after.

iOS and Android, built together and tested on your own device from the first day.

First build
Day 1
You test on
Your phone, via TestFlight or Firebase
You bring
Logo, copy, and your own store accounts before launch
  1. Day 1

    First build on your phone

    Foundation and first screens, installed in minutes.

  2. Days 2 to 6

    Build and feedback

    A new build every day or two. You try it, I fold in changes.

  3. Day 7

    MVP ready

    Everything in scope works end to end. Demo it, hand it to testers.

  4. After

    Polish and launch

    I handle store submission. Review times are Apple's and Google's.

Why one week is real

AI does the typing. I do the thinking.

I build with Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding agent, but not by prompting and hoping. It works inside my own rules.

  1. Claude writes the first draft

    Screens, wiring, and boilerplate take hours instead of days. That's where the week comes from.

  2. My code guides set the standard

    Every problem I've solved in my six shipped apps, from login to payments to store submission, is written down as a guide. Claude follows them, so I never solve the same problem twice and you get patterns already proven with real users.

  3. I read every line

    I make the design decisions, catch what the AI gets wrong, and review all code before it ships. If something breaks, you know who to ask.

Why trust one person over an agency

Shipped, not just designed

Six apps live on both stores, maintained by me, right now.

Obsessed with detail

I'll spend twenty minutes arguing with myself over 2px of padding. Your app gets the same treatment, whether you notice or not.

One accountable person

No handoffs between departments. If something's wrong, you know exactly who to blame: me.

Clear communication

Straight answers, real timelines, no jargon to make simple things sound complicated.

Questions you're probably asking

Why not just hire an agency?

You can. You'll also pay for their office, their sales team, and the junior developer practicing on your codebase. With me, every rupee goes toward the thing you actually asked for.

What does it cost?

Depends on scope. Tell me what you need and I'll give you a straight number, not a range wide enough to park a bus in.

How long does it really take?

About a week of build time, counted from the day scope is signed off. Settling the scope takes as long as it takes us to decide. Slow feedback during the week moves the date, and store review afterwards is up to Apple and Google.

How do I test the app before it's live?

iPhone testers get a TestFlight invite, Android testers get a Firebase App Distribution invite, and websites get a private preview link. The first build reaches your phone on Day 1, with a new one every day or two after that. I just need an Apple ID email for each iPhone tester and a Gmail address for each Android tester.

Do I need Apple and Google developer accounts to start?

No. Test builds go out through my own accounts, so there's nothing to set up and no approval to wait for. Before launch you'll need your own Apple Developer account ($99/year) and Google Play Console account ($25 once), and the app moves into them. Apple can take days to approve them, longer for companies, so create them while I build.

Do I own the code?

Yes. It lives in your repository from day one, and the app moves into your own store accounts before launch.

I only have an idea, not a spec. Is that enough?

That's usually where this starts. Scoping it into something buildable is part of the job, and it happens before the week starts.

What do you actually use AI for?

I build with Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding agent, alongside my own saved code guides: written standards and best practices I reuse on every project. So an app starts from a proven structure instead of a blank page, and boilerplate and repetitive work goes much faster. AI doesn't decide what your product should be. That part's on me, and I review every line before it ships.

What if I need changes after launch?

Normal. Apps evolve. Reasonable bugs are fixed for good, at no extra cost. New features are a separate conversation: we scope them the same way as the original, with a straight price.
