Taking on two new projects from January
Eleven years turning rough ideas into things people use every day — for founders in Colombo, product teams in Singapore and two banks in London. You get working software, a demo every week, and a straight answer on what it costs.
The story
No agency layer, no account manager, and no quiet handover to a junior once you have signed.
I started out repairing other people's half-finished projects. It taught me the thing I still build around: most software fails on decisions made in the first fortnight, not on the code written in the last one.
So every engagement opens with a paid two-hour scoping call. We agree what the thing is, what it is not, and what it costs. If the answer is that you do not need me, I will tell you that too — it has happened four times this year.
Since 2014 that has added up to sixty products for founders, operators and product teams across four countries, and a short list of clients who have now hired me three times each.
What I do
Everything starts with a paid two-hour scoping call. If we turn out not to be a fit, you keep the notes and owe me nothing further.
From the first sketch to the release that ships — interface, server, database, deployment, and the documentation your next hire will need on their first morning.
From LKR 180,000
An inherited codebase nobody wants to open. I read it, write you an honest report on what is salvageable, and quote the repair separately.

Payments, messaging, accounting, logistics — joined up and monitored.

The screens your team lives in all day, built to stay fast as the data grows.

One codebase, both stores, shipped with the release pipeline attached.

A day a week: architecture, code review, and help hiring your first two engineers.
Most of my work starts with a question that does not fit a menu. Send yours over and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person.

Case studies
Six screens cut to two, and the whole flow rebuilt around the twenty seconds a designer has between calls.

An offline-first app for crews with no signal, syncing the moment a van comes back into range.

Scoped on a Monday, launched four weeks later, and still running unchanged eighteen months on.

Four clients, all reachable — ask me for an introduction and I will make it.
Arjun rewrote an invoicing flow we had failed to fix twice. He spent the first week reading and asking questions, which was infuriating until the estimate landed and turned out to be right to the day.
We had four weeks and no engineering team. He scoped it on the Monday, demoed something real on the Friday, and we launched on time. Eighteen months later nothing has needed touching.
Our crews work in places with no signal, which every other quote treated as a footnote. Arjun treated it as the whole problem. Job logging is up by more than half and the paper forms are gone.
He told us we did not need the rebuild we had asked him to quote for, and sold us two weeks of repairs instead. That is why we have hired him three times since.
Contact
A paragraph is plenty. I reply to everything within one working day, usually sooner.
Most projects start as a voice note at ten at night. That is genuinely fine — send it and I will reply in the morning.
