One senior engineer.
Fully accountable.
I'm David Ugale — a senior full-stack engineer with 25+ years shipping production software. No junior handoffs. No project manager middlemen. Just senior-level engineering, delivered directly.
Why solo?
Most founders and businesses face the same problem: they need senior engineering but can't afford to hire a full team. Traditional agencies charge enterprise rates and hand your project off to junior developers.
I built this practice to be different. One senior engineer, fully accountable — moving fast, communicating clearly, and shipping production-grade software in weeks.
Speed over process
I ship working software, not slide decks. Biweekly demos from day one.
Senior-only execution
You work directly with me — the same person you talked to, the same person writing the code.
Founder-aware
I've built companies myself. I understand the pressure you're under.
About Me
Senior full-stack engineer with 25+ years building production systems. From Sony Pictures Imageworks to founding Daya Web, I've architected and shipped applications across e-commerce, finance, media, and AI. I build with Next.js, Python, FastAPI, and AWS — and leverage AI-assisted development to ship at 2–3x velocity.
Want to work with me?
I take on a focused number of projects at a time to ensure every client gets my full attention.
