MVP development

MVP development for startups.

A first version real users can sign up for and use, scoped to what the product needs to prove.

I co-founded JustiConnect and designed, built and launched it end to end. I work the same way with founders: one point of contact for scope, design and engineering, from the first sketch to launch.

What you get

A first version built to be used.

  • Scope that fits the goal

    We decide what the MVP must prove, which features it needs for that, and what waits for a later version.

  • Design and build

    Screens designed in Figma and built in TypeScript with SvelteKit or Next.js, with Supabase for data and logins.

    • Svelte.js
    • React.js
    • Next.js
    • Supabase
    • Postgres DB
    • TypeScript
  • Accounts and a data model that can grow

    Sign-up, roles and a database structure that later versions build on instead of replacing.

  • AI where the idea needs it

    If the product depends on AI, such as matching or document analysis, it is built into the first version as a working feature.

  • A real launch

    Deployed to production with error monitoring, ready for the first users.

How it works

From idea to first users.

  1. Brief

    A short description of the idea and the people it is for. I reply directly.

  2. Scope

    We turn the idea into a short list of features and the one workflow the MVP has to get right.

  3. Build

    Regular working versions to review, so decisions are made on the real product.

  4. Launch

    The MVP goes live for its first users. What comes next is decided from how they use it.

Proof

Products taken from an idea to production.

  • JustiConnect

    From concept to production as co-founder and sole developer: conversational AI that matches people with lawyers, plus scheduling and client management. 100+ lawyers onboarded in the first year.

  • AI video engine

    A product built from one idea: a text prompt in, an edited short-form video out, with generated images, narration, music and subtitles. Live at video.naregt.cloud.

  • Classroom coaching platform

    What comes after a first version: a ground-up rewrite of a product that had outgrown it, now serving 3,000+ teachers across 6 school districts. I was a core engineer on it.

FAQ

Common questions about MVPs.

  • I don’t have a technical co-founder. Can you cover the build?

    Yes. I take the product from scope to launch and explain each technical decision in plain language. I have been on the founder side of this as co-founder of JustiConnect.

  • What should be in an MVP?

    Only what is needed to test the main idea with real users: usually sign-up, the one core workflow, and a way to see how it is used. The scope step decides the rest.

  • Will the MVP have to be rebuilt later?

    It is built on the same stack as a full product, TypeScript, PostgreSQL and a modern framework, so later versions extend it. A rewrite makes sense only when the product changes direction.

  • Can the MVP include AI features?

    Yes. JustiConnect’s core product includes AI intent detection and lawyer matching, built with OpenAI and LangChain.

  • Can you keep working on it after launch?

    Yes. I still work on JustiConnect today, and I can continue with new features and fixes as the product grows.
