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.
