Full Stack Developer for Hire

Hire a developer who ships — not just codes

When you hire me, you hire one developer who owns the whole outcome: design, code, deployment, and Google indexing. No handoffs, no account managers, no "that's the backend team's problem." I've shipped production systems end to end — and I'll ship yours.

What we agree before the work starts

No project here begins on a verbal yes. Before a single line of code is written there is one document setting out the scope, the price, the milestones and the timeline, signed by both of us.

That document mainly protects you from the best-known risk in a software project: work that quietly grows and a bill that grows with it. What is not in the agreement is not part of the job, and anything you want to add along the way is discussed separately and written down again.

A written agreement, every time. Scope, price, milestones and timeline in one document, signed before any work starts.
A fixed price, not an hourly meter. The number is settled before anything is built — not an estimate that drifts upward while the project runs.
Paid by international bank transfer — on larger projects in staged milestones, so you never pay for work you have not seen.
One round of revisions included. The number of revision rounds is written into the agreement, so a change later is not an argument about what was meant.
An NDA on request, signed before you send me anything confidential — not after.

Ownership, invoicing and GDPR

Hiring a developer in another country raises fair questions, and the first ones are rarely about code. They are about who owns the result, about the invoice, and about what happens to personal data. Here are the answers before you have to ask.

You own the work. Full intellectual property in the code, design and content transfers to your company on final payment. No license, no lock-in, no ongoing fee to keep using what you paid for.
Domain, hosting and repository in your name. Nothing sits parked under mine, so you can continue with another developer whenever you decide to.
A proper invoice. Itemized, in EUR, with every line spelled out.
Built with GDPR in mind. Cookie consent where it is needed, analytics configured so it is not loaded before consent, no third-party trackers you did not ask for, and data hosted where you choose.
Documentation at handover. Everything runs on standard technology and is handed over with written documentation, so any competent developer can take the work on instead of starting again.
Written for whoever comes next. If you need another developer in two years and I am not reachable, they can carry on without calling me first.

Working with European and American clients

Once the agreement is signed you are not following the project through status reports. You follow it on a staging link you can open yourself, and you deal throughout with the person writing the code.

Directly, with no account manager in between. Whoever takes your first call is the one who designs, writes the code, sets up the server and hands the work over.
A reply within 24 hours, usually much faster — over WhatsApp, email or video call, whichever you prefer.
A kickoff video call at a time that works in your time zone. After that everything runs online.
A staging link instead of a status email. Weekly progress you can look at whenever you want, not one big reveal at the end.
More than one language when you need it. If the finished product has to run in several languages, that is routine here: Celina ships bilingual pages, and this site runs in three.
Your time zone, not just mine. I am on Western European Time — the same working day as clients in Europe, and my afternoon covers the American East Coast morning, so nothing waits overnight for an answer.

Built for US & European clients

I live and work in Lisbon, Portugal — an EU citizen, set up to work with European and American clients, including companies in the Netherlands. For hiring one developer, this time zone works harder than it sounds:

Europe: we share a working day. I am on Western European Time — the same clock as the UK, one hour behind Berlin and Paris.
US East Coast: your morning is my afternoon — your 9am is my 2pm, so we overlap through your working morning, and requests you send late in your day are answered first thing the next morning.
US West Coast: your afternoon questions become my overnight work. You wake up to finished features, not "will look into it."

We work in English throughout — it is the language I write, document and meet in.

What you can hire me for

Business websites — custom-designed, mobile-first, SEO-ready sites that generate inquiries.
Custom web applications — React/TypeScript frontends with Node.js or Java Spring Boot backends.
UI/UX design & prototypes — interfaces designed around what your users actually do.
Technical SEO — structured data, sitemaps, Core Web Vitals, and real Google indexing.

Proof over promises

Anyone can claim to be a good hire. Here's what you can actually verify:

Celina — a live marketplace (celinaeda.ru). 100+ Google-indexed SEO pages, KYC verification, real-time order tracking — designed, built, deployed, and operated by one person: me.
Purchases — the coupon platform on GitHub. Open code you (or your technical advisor) can read before hiring me.
Both systems above are mine end to end. Not a slice of someone else's project — the architecture, the database, the frontend, the servers and the deploy pipeline, still running in production.

Still weighing your options? I wrote an honest comparison of hiring one developer versus an agency, including the cases where an agency genuinely is the better call.

What it costs to hire me

The figures below are starting prices in euros. Once you have described the project you get one fixed quote for the whole of it within 48 hours, free and with no obligation, and I reply to messages within 24. See what each package includes.

One-page personal site — from €1,200.
Landing page — from €1,950.
Business website with technical SEO — from €3,900.
Web application or online store — from €12,000.
The price is settled before the work starts. The number in the quote is the number you pay, unless you add something to the job yourself.
Staged payments on larger projects. On a web application you do not pay the full amount up front.

What lifts a project above its starting price is scope: the number of pages, the number of languages, and the functionality that has to work behind the scenes. My guide to what a website actually costs explains where the money goes.

How hiring works

Free consultation. We talk through what you need — no commitment, no sales script.
Fixed quote within 48 hours. A clear price and milestone plan. The number I quote is the number you pay.
Signed agreement, then design. Scope, price, milestones and timeline in one document we both sign; then wireframes and mockups for your approval before any code is written.
Weekly staging links. You watch the real product take shape and steer while changes are still cheap.
Launch with full ownership. Code, domain, and data are all yours — documented so any developer could continue. No lock-in.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with US and European time zones?

Yes — I'm based in Lisbon, Portugal (EU citizen). European clients and I share a working day, and my afternoon covers the American East Coast morning. For the US, I keep evening slots for East Coast calls, and requests you send in your afternoon are answered by the next morning. On the West Coast, work you ask for in your afternoon lands overnight.

How do we communicate during the project?

Email, WhatsApp, or video calls — whichever you prefer. I reply within 24 hours at most, usually much faster, and you get a live staging link so you can watch progress on the real thing instead of waiting for a big reveal.

What do we agree before the project starts?

The scope, the price, the milestones and the timeline in one document, signed before any work starts. No project here begins on a verbal yes. What is not in the agreement is not part of the job; if you want to add something along the way, we discuss it separately and write it down again. If you would rather have an NDA in place first, we sign that before you send me anything confidential.

Who owns the code, the design and the data after handover?

You do. All rights pass to your company on final payment, and the domain, the hosting and the repository are in your name. There is no license and no monthly commitment to keep using what you already paid for. At handover you get documentation any other developer can continue from, so you are never dependent on my calendar.

How do you invoice, and how do I pay?

You get an itemized invoice in euros, with every line spelled out, and you pay by international bank transfer. On larger projects the payment is split into milestones, so you never pay for work you have not seen.

What does it cost to hire a full stack developer?

It depends on scope, so I work with fixed quotes: describe what you need and you'll have a clear, fixed price within 48 hours — no hourly meter, no surprises. For honest numbers before you reach out, read my guide: How much does a website cost in 2026?
