Ways to work

Ways to work.
however you buy

Some teams want a fixed scope. Some want an engineer in their standup. Some want a partner who stays invisible. All of it works — pick the shape that fits.

Performance audit

Fixed scope, fixed fee, a report you can act on

Most asked

A time-boxed investigation of what is making your Laravel application slow, expensive, or fragile — with a prioritised, costed list of fixes at the end.

  • Written findings report
  • Prioritised fix list with effort estimates
  • Walkthrough call to go through it
Best for — Teams whose app got slow and who need to know why before committing budget Delivered by — Smit Desai

Fixed-scope project

A defined build, delivered by the person you talked to

Most asked

A new build, a rebuild, or an AI feature added to what you already run — scoped up front, delivered end to end by one senior engineer.

  • Security & quality pass before handover — included, not billed extra
  • Dependency vulnerability check against known advisories
  • Static analysis before anything ships
Best for — Well-defined builds where the scope is clear enough to price Delivered by — Smit Desai

Dedicated developer

Hire me directly, full or part time, remote

A monthly retainer for a fixed share of my week, embedded in your team — your standups, your board, your codebase. Interview me first.

  • You interview me before committing
  • Embedded in your standups and your board
  • Security & quality pass before handover — included, not billed extra
Best for — Teams who need senior Laravel capacity without a hire Delivered by — Smit Desai

Dedicated team

More hands, assembled through vetted partner firms

When scope needs more than one engineer, I bring in developers from partner firms I have worked with — and stay accountable for the engineering.

  • You interview every developer before they start
  • One technical owner, accountable throughout
  • Security & quality pass before handover — included, not billed extra
Best for — Larger builds and ERP-scale scope needing several developers Delivered by — Smit Desai as technical lead, with developers from vetted partner firms

White-label for agencies

Discreet delivery under NDA — your client relationship stays yours

Agencies and IT firms who win work they cannot staff can subcontract the engineering to me. I sign your NDA, I stay invisible to your client, and nothing appears on this site.

  • Mutual NDA signed before anything is shared
  • Nothing published — no case study, no logo, no mention
  • Work delivered to your process and standards
Best for — Agencies and IT companies with won work and no capacity Delivered by — Smit Desai

Technical partner

Ongoing engineering judgement, not just hands

For founders and teams without a senior engineer in the room: architecture decisions, code review, hiring input, and a straight answer when something looks wrong.

Best for — Founders and teams with no senior engineer in-house Delivered by — Smit Desai

Not sure which fits?

Tell me the problem and the constraints. If none of these fit, I will say so — and point you somewhere that does.
