Services
Freelance software development and consulting for founders and businesses.
Custom web applications, AI consulting and integration, and MVPs, scoped and built by one senior developer.
I’m Nareg, a senior full-stack developer and AI engineer in Montreal with almost 10 years of experience. I work directly with founders and teams, and own scope, priorities and delivery.

What I build
Three ways to work together.
Custom app development
Web applications built around how your business works: SaaS platforms, dashboards and internal tools, from the first scope to a product in daily use. Includes rewrites of products that have outgrown their first version.
ExamplesCoaching platform for Texas school districtsHotNewHipHop.com rewrite
AI consulting and integration
Advice on where AI fits in your product, and AI features built into it as working parts: conversational interfaces, intent detection and matching, document analysis and generated media.
MVP development for startups
A first version that real users can sign up for and use, scoped to what the product needs to prove, and built on a stack that later versions can extend.
Working together
One developer, accountable from scope to launch.
Direct contact
I work with clients in the US every day: calls, requirements and decisions go through me directly.
Plain language
Technical decisions are explained in terms of cost, risk and what users will see, so you can decide with the full picture.
Built for production
TypeScript, PostgreSQL and tested code from the first version, so the product can grow without starting over.

FAQ
Common questions.
Which service fits my project?
If the product doesn’t exist yet, start with an MVP. If it exists and needs new parts, that is custom app development. If the new part is an AI feature, it is AI integration. The first call settles it either way.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Yes, most of my work is directly with founders and business owners. I explain each technical decision in plain language and keep you updated as the work moves along.
Can you join an existing team instead?
Yes. I also take contract roles on existing teams. I currently work as a senior full-stack developer on contract with a software and design studio in New York, owning client projects end to end.
Where are you based?
Montreal, Canada. I work remotely, mostly with clients in the US.
Do you also do consulting?
Yes. Besides building, I take consulting work: advice on architecture, AI and what to build first, or a contract role on your team.
How do I start?
Send a short message through the contact page, or ask the assistant on this site. I review it and follow up directly.
