Currently accepting new projects
You describe it. I ship it.
Most ideas die in the gap between describing them and building them. That gap is the whole job, and it is the only thing I do. Bring the idea in whatever shape it is currently in — a sketch, a voice note, a spreadsheet you have outgrown — and take back working software.
30+ production builds since 2023. Zero missed deadlines. One engineer answering the phone.
The pattern
Bad software is quietly bleeding you.
Most teams accept it as the cost of doing business. It isn't. It's a fixable engineering problem.
- 01
15+ hrs / week
Your team is babysitting software.
Manual exports. Sticky-note workarounds. The same spreadsheet glued together with duct tape. Every workaround is rent you pay forever to the wrong tool.
- 02
Months wasted
You hired an agency. They ghosted.
Bait-and-switch pricing. A junior dev you never met. Three months of "almost ready" emails. You ended up with code you can't maintain and a bill you can't justify.
- 03
2x rebuild
Built it cheap. Paying for it now.
The MVP someone duct-taped together two years ago is now the thing your business depends on. Every new feature takes a week. Every bug spawns three more. The tech debt has compounded.
- 04
6+ months
You can't hire engineering fast enough.
Job posts sit open for half a year. The good engineers are taken. The available ones cost double what you budgeted, and you still don't know if they'll deliver.
The math
See what bad software is actually costing you.
Three sliders. Real numbers. The cost of doing nothing, mapped against a fixed-price project.
Conservative math. 52 working weeks per year, 70% of wasted hours recoverable with the right software. Loaded cost includes salary, benefits, overhead.
What I build
Four things I do well. Not forty I do badly.
Every project gets my full attention, honest judgment, and direct communication. From the first line of code to the production handoff.
// The transaction is written first on purpose.
// If the status update fails you get a ledger
// row against an invoice still marked unpaid:
// visible, and fixable. The other order reports
// an invoice as paid with no money recorded
// anywhere — the failure nobody notices until
// tax time.
await createTransaction({
type: 'client_payment',
amount_cents: amountCents,
invoice_id: invoice.id,
})
const settled =
alreadyPaidCents + amountCents >= invoice.total_cents
await updateInvoice(invoice.id, {
status: settled ? 'paid' : 'partially_paid',
})- 01
Custom Software
Built to your shape, not theirs
Tailored systems for problems off-the-shelf tools cannot solve. Internal tools, process automation, custom dashboards, line-of-business apps. Built around how your team actually works.
- Internal tools that match your real workflow
- Automation that retires the spreadsheets
- Integration with what you already use
- Clean code your next engineer will thank you for
Software that fits. Not workarounds.
- 02
Web Applications
Fast, modern, accountable
Production web apps on the stack that ships best: React, Next.js, TypeScript. Performance is a feature, not an afterthought.
- React, Next.js, TypeScript
- Lighthouse 95+ on real-world tests
- Auth, payments, dashboards. All the boring bits.
- Deployable from day one, not "almost ready"
Apps that load fast and convert.
- 03
Enterprise Systems
Scale-ready from line one
Production-hardened backends for systems that have to keep running when traffic spikes, regulators ask questions, and the team grows. No shortcuts. No year-two surprises.
- Cloud-native architecture (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Postgres, Redis, queues. The un-trendy stack that survives.
- Auth, RBAC, audit logs out of the box
- Infrastructure as code, observability built-in
Systems built for year five, not next week.
- 04
SaaS Builds
Idea to live product, fast
End-to-end SaaS development for founders. From architecture sketch to a live, scalable product. Lean, real, investor-ready.
- MVP in weeks, not quarters
- Subscription billing and multi-tenant from day one
- Honest scoping. I tell you what to cut.
- Yours to take to another engineer if it goes that way
A product investors can actually click around.
How I work
From wish to working software.
Four steps, no agency theatre. You say what you want. I tell you what it really takes. Then I build it.
-
Say what you want
30 minutes. You describe the thing you wish existed. I ask the questions that turn a wish into a specification, and I tell you honestly whether I am the right person to build it. No pitch.
-
The honest version
A one-page scope and an architecture sketch, with a fixed price and a fixed date. This is where a wish becomes a plan: what is genuinely buildable, what should wait, and what it costs. You see all of it before you sign anything.
-
It gets built
Working software at the end of every week, not status updates. Demo-able from week one, so you are steering something real instead of imagining it. Your call what stays and what cuts.
-
You own it
Clean deploy. Documentation that doesn't lie. A walk-through with whoever inherits the code. Stay for maintenance or take the keys and go — either way it is yours, with no lock-in and nothing withheld.
About
One engineer. No relay games.
Most agencies
- You
- Sales
- PM
- Junior dev
- Your code
Four handoffs. Everything you said, retold.

- Your code
None. The person writing it answers the email.
DevSource.DEV LLC is a Wyoming company, and I'm Muhammad Meluk, the senior engineer who runs it and writes the code. I built it because too many founders get burned by agencies that promise everything and deliver junior work three months late.
When you hire me, you talk to me. Not a project manager. Not a sales rep. Not a junior I'm supervising. The person writing your code answers your emails.

Investment
Priced per idea, not per hour.
I don't publish a price list, because the honest number depends entirely on what you are asking for. After the discovery call you get one fixed figure and one fixed date, in writing, before anything starts.
- Fixed price
- One number, quoted after the call
- Fixed date
- Agreed before any work starts
- Scope
- One page, in plain English
-
One number, agreed up front
No hourly billing, no running meter, no invoice that surprises you. The price is set before work begins and it does not move unless you change the scope in writing.
-
Scoped in plain English
A one-page document describing what you get, what you do not, and when. If you cannot understand the scope, it is not finished being written.
-
Quotes hold for 30 days
Take the number away and think about it. Nothing expires in a pressure window, and there is no discount for deciding today.
-
Every engagement runs on a written services agreement. The commercial terms — deposits, milestones, late payment, refunds — are published in full. Read the payment terms.
07 — The contract
Fixed price. Fixed date. Fixed promise.
If I miss the agreed deadline, every week late comes off your invoice. If the build doesn't meet the spec, I keep working, on my time, at my expense, until it does. That's the contract.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
If yours isn't here, just ask on the call. I'd rather answer it once for you than write it pre-empted into a list.
Question not on the list?
Ask it on the call. Thirty minutes, no pitch, and I will tell you honestly if I am not the right person to build it.
Book a discovery call →-
01 Who am I actually working with?
Me. Muhammad Meluk, the engineer who writes the code. Not a project manager, not a junior I farm work to, not a relay team. Your contract is with DevSource.DEV LLC and your code is written by the person answering your emails. If something is broken, you talk to the one who can fix it.
-
02 How do you scope a project?
After the discovery call, I write a one-page scope document with a fixed price and a fixed timeline. Nothing starts until you've read it, asked questions, and signed it. If the scope changes mid-build (it sometimes does), we renegotiate before any extra work happens, never after.
-
03 What's your stack?
Day-to-day: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node, Python, Postgres, Redis. Deploy on AWS / GCP / Vercel / Railway depending on the shape of the project. I will recommend the boring, durable stack nine times out of ten. Trendy frameworks are how MVPs become rebuilds.
-
04 Where are you based and how do we communicate?
The company is registered in Wyoming, USA. I work from GMT+2, which overlaps the US morning and the whole European day. Async by default, with a weekly demo call in whatever timezone suits you. Slack, email, or WhatsApp during business hours. Emergencies get my phone.
-
05 Do you maintain projects after launch?
Yes, if you want me to. Two options: a monthly retainer for ongoing development and bug-fixing, or hourly as-needed for one-off changes. If you'd rather hand the code to an internal team, the handoff includes documentation written for a human, not for a checkbox.
-
06 What if my project goes over scope?
We pause and re-scope. I write up the new work, give you a new fixed price for it, and you decide whether to expand the contract. You will never receive a surprise invoice. Scope creep is an engineering communication failure, not a billing opportunity.
-
07 Can you work with our existing engineering team?
Yes. I sub-contract on larger builds, do code reviews and architecture consults, pair with junior engineers, or embed for a fixed period. Whatever shape works. I just need someone on your side who can make decisions.
