Skip the agency meetings. Get a 20-year senior engineer on a monthly subscription.
Queue as many web development requests as you like for one flat monthly fee. I work through them one at a time, and each task is delivered within 24–48 hours of work starting. No discovery calls, no hand-offs to juniors.
You don't need another 45-minute sync.
You need production code in your repository.
Building software shouldn't require navigating the endless friction of traditional recruitment, agency markups, and meeting burnout.
The Full-Time Senior Hire
- Time to hire: often 2–3 months of sourcing, interviews, and notice periods.
- Cost: a senior US salary commonly runs $150,000+ a year before taxes, benefits, and equity.
- Downtime penalty: You pay 100% of their salary even during product planning lulls and release pauses.
The Traditional Agency
- The hand-off: senior people sell the project; less experienced people often build it.
- Change orders: small adjustments can mean re-scoping and re-quoting.
- Meeting overhead: standups, syncs, and status calls that could have been a comment.
The Hourly Freelancer
- Misaligned incentives: hourly billing rewards time spent, not results shipped.
- Availability risk: juggling several clients means your urgent bug may have to wait.
- Inconsistent quality: quick patches that need reworking later.
Everything runs through your client portal.
No onboarding calls. Subscribe, tell me what to build, and track progress in writing.
Subscribe and onboard
Check out securely, then verify your email at /onboarding to share your repository and queue your first task. Your portal account is created automatically once payment is confirmed. No contracts, no lock-in.
Queue as many tasks as you like
Drop tasks into your queue directly via the Client Portal. Write them in plain language and add Figma, Loom, or GitHub links. Drag tasks into priority order — whatever sits at #1 is built next.
Delivered in 24–48 hours
When your top task moves to In Progress, the clock starts: 48 hours for normal tasks, 24 hours for urgent ones. Work arrives as a pull request to your repository, with a preview link where the project supports one. When it's done, the next task in your queue starts.
Why fewer meetings and one task at a time work in your favour.
I don't do meetings and I don't juggle your tasks in parallel. Here's why that gets your work shipped sooner.
One task in progress at a time
"Juggling many things at once is why simple tasks take weeks."
- Focus over context switching: research on task-switching suggests it can cost a large share of productive time. Working on one task at a time keeps attention on the thing that matters most to you.
- Predictable delivery: there's only one task in flight, with a visible countdown in your portal, so you rarely need to ask for a status update.
- Fewer shortcuts: focused work leaves room to do things properly instead of patching around them.
No calls — everything in writing
"Every hour spent on Zoom is an hour not spent shipping your product."
- Your fee goes into the work: time isn't spent on status meetings, so it goes into code, architecture, and deployments.
- A written record: requests, comments, and pull requests live in your portal and repository, so decisions are documented rather than lost in a call.
- No timezone juggling: whether you're in San Francisco, London, or Bengaluru, nothing waits on a calendar slot. Add a request whenever it suits you.
Twenty years of shipping production software.
AI can generate code quickly. Knowing which code is safe to ship — and what breaks under real traffic — still takes experience.
Experienced judgement, modern tools
Over two decades I've built and maintained more than 106 production systems for clients — e-commerce backends, checkout flows, and SaaS applications.
I use modern AI tools, including coding assistants and automated agents, to move faster. I decide the architecture, review every change, and nothing reaches your repository without my sign-off.
- ✅ No junior hand-offs: every change is reviewed and approved by me before you see it.
- ✅ No subcontractors: no other developers or agencies are given access to your repository.
- ✅ Solid foundations: clean data models, typed code, and lean front-end bundles.

Strict concurrency cap. Zero compromise on speed.
To guarantee real 24–48 hour turnaround and senior-level focus (no juniors, no outsourcing), active retainer slots are strictly capped at 5 clients at any time. When all slots are full, checkout closes and new clients reserve their position on our priority waitlist.
Reserve Your Priority Waitlist Spot
No payment or credit card required. We notify waitlist subscribers in the exact order received as soon as an engineering slot opens.
Frequently asked questions.
Straight answers about how the subscription works.
How can I trust you without a discovery call first? ▾
Judge the work, not the pitch. Billing is month to month, so the first month is the real trial: queue your most important task, see what comes back, and cancel if it isn't for you. If you have a specific question before subscribing, email hello@sazm.in.
What does "unlimited requests" actually mean? ▾
There's no cap on how many requests you can add to your queue. I work on one at a time, in the order you set. Large projects are split into smaller tasks, each delivered within 24–48 hours of starting. How much gets done in a month depends on the size of the tasks.
Why only one active task at a time? ▾
Switching between tasks slows everything down and invites mistakes. Focusing on one task means it gets finished quickly (24–48 hours) and properly. When it's delivered, the next task in your queue starts.
How do we communicate without calls? ▾
In writing — through your client portal at sazm.in/app, pull request comments, and email. Describe requests in text, wireframes, Figma links, or short Loom videos. The portal shows each task's status, delivery countdown, and deliverables; you don't need accounts on any other tools.
How do I log in to the client portal? ▾
Go to sazm.in/app and enter the email you subscribed with. We'll email you a 6-digit code — no password to remember. From there you can add tasks, drag them into priority order, follow the delivery countdown, and download deliverables.
Can I pause my subscription if I don't have work right now? ▾
Yes. Pause from the Billing tab in your portal and the unused days of your current billing period are saved to your account. For example, pause 20 days into a 31-day period and the remaining 11 days are waiting for you when you resume.
Who actually does the work? Do you outsource? ▾
I do — a senior engineer with 20+ years of experience and 106+ shipped client systems. I use AI coding tools to work faster, but I make the architectural decisions and review every change before it reaches you. No junior developers, subcontractors, or white-label agencies. Read my Executive Resume (PDF) for complete career history and credentials.
What tech stacks do you support? ▾
Modern web stacks: Astro, React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, and Cloudflare (Workers, D1, R2, KV). If your project uses mainstream web technology, I can usually get oriented in the repository and start on your first task quickly. If something is outside my expertise, I'll tell you up front.
What if I'm not satisfied with the work delivered? ▾
Leave feedback on the task and I'll revise it — revisions to a delivered task are included and take priority over starting new work. Genuinely new requirements become a new task in your queue.
Who owns the code and intellectual property? ▾
You do. Work is committed to your own repository, and you own the code, designs, and assets created for you once the subscription period they were delivered in is paid. See the Terms for details.
How do billing, taxes, and invoicing work? ▾
You pay in USD through PayPal, which accepts major cards and PayPal balances and bills automatically each month. Pause from your client portal. Cancel any time from your PayPal account (Settings → Automatic payments) or by emailing billing@sazm.in — you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
