Freelance full-stack developer specialising in Next.js, Node.js, and AWS. Helped 20+ startups ship their MVP in the last 5 years.

About

I am Aditya Rao, a freelance full-stack developer in Hyderabad. I build web products with Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript and AWS, and over the last five years I have helped more than 20 startups take an MVP from idea to launch.

Founders usually come to me with a deadline, a rough spec and a limited budget. My job is to decide with you what the first version really needs, build that properly, and leave you with code another developer can pick up without a rewrite.

What I build

MVPs — a working product in front of users in 3 to 4 weeks
SaaS platforms — subscriptions, billing, teams and dashboards
Marketplaces and booking systems — search, payments and payouts
APIs and integrations — payments, email, WhatsApp and third-party services

How I work

Fixed scope and a fixed quote, a staging link you can open every week, and full source code and documentation at handover. You talk to the person writing the code.

Projects

B2B Invoicing SaaS

Multi-tenant invoicing and payments product for small agencies — subscriptions, GST invoices, team roles and a customer portal. Went from first call to paying customers in five weeks.

Hyperlocal Services Marketplace

Two-sided marketplace connecting households with verified service providers, with search, booking, in-app chat and payouts. Built to handle a city-wide launch from day one.

Fintech Analytics Dashboard

Real-time dashboard over a lending startup's loan book, with role-based access and exportable reports. Cut the weekly reporting job from hours of spreadsheet work to a single page load.

Next.js SaaS Starter Kit

The boilerplate behind most of these builds, packaged as a product — authentication, billing, a dashboard shell and deployment scripts already wired together.

Clinic Appointment Platform

Booking and reminder system for a multi-doctor clinic, with per-doctor calendars, WhatsApp reminders and online payment of the consultation fee.

FAQs

How long does an MVP take?

A focused MVP usually takes 3 to 4 weeks. Larger products are split into phases so that something usable ships early.

How do you price projects?

Fixed price against an agreed scope, quoted in writing after a discovery call. Ongoing work after launch can run on a monthly retainer.

Who owns the code?

You do. The full repository, documentation and deployment access are handed over on final payment.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, happy to sign an NDA before we discuss the details of your product.

Can you work with my existing codebase or team?

Yes. I regularly join existing projects — I start with a short audit and then work inside your repository with pull requests and code review.

Which technologies do you use?

Next.js and React on the front end, Node.js and TypeScript on the back end, PostgreSQL or MongoDB for data, and AWS or Vercel for hosting.

Do you provide support after launch?

Every project includes two weeks of post-launch support. After that, a maintenance retainer is available.

Do you work with clients outside Hyderabad?

Yes. Most of my clients are remote, across India and overseas. Work runs on scheduled calls and a shared staging link.
