👋 Hey there! I'm Yusuf
Dropped out of college to chase what really mattered — building real products. Now I help non-tech founders go from “I have this idea...” to “Holy sh*t, this actually works!” — without the technical headaches.
Let's chat about your idea
I was supposed to finish college and follow the “safe” path — but I knew early on that I wanted to build real things. So I dropped out, taught myself to code, and spent months learning through YouTube, online courses, and trial-and-error.
Those first few projects — scrappy but real — taught me more than any textbook. I realized early on: founders don’t need perfect code, they need working products that solve problems and ship fast. Since then, I’ve led backend teams, architected cloud systems, built mobile apps, and helped early-stage startups go from idea to production.
"I speak founder, not just developer. I understand the late nights, the pivots, the pressure to ship. My job is to make the tech side feel easy — so you can focus on the big picture."
I work directly with founders and business owners to bring their ideas to life — whether that means launching a fast MVP, scaling a SaaS, or integrating AI into a product. My focus is always the same: build lean, ship fast, and solve real problems without over-complicating the tech.
Here's what happens when someone with a great idea meets the right developer. These aren't just portfolio pieces — they're businesses that are making money and solving real problems for real users.
"I hate watching hour-long YouTube videos just to find one piece of information. Can we build something that lets me chat with videos instead?"
What I built: Built a Chrome extension + backend service that lets users interact with YouTube videos using natural language, powered by RAG and OpenAI APIs.
"Schools are drowning in paperwork and parents have no clue what's happening with their kids' education. We need a digital solution that actually works."
What I built: Led the backend and mobile teams to build an end-to-end EdTech platform for attendance, assessments, communication, and admin workflows — used by thousands of students and teachers.
"Creative freelancers are everywhere, but finding the right project (or talent) is still broken. Can we build a platform that actually connects people meaningfully?"
What I built: Designed and built a cross-platform freelancer marketplace for creatives, including multi-role dashboards, profile management, and real-time project matching.
Real feedback from founders who trusted me with their vision
"Yusuf delivered excellent work. He was highly professional throughout the project, consistently showed initiative, and proactively offered effective solutions to challenges. I would definitely work with him again."
"Satisfied with the end delivery. I trust Yusuf to deliver as required every time."
Simple process, clear communication, real results. Here's exactly what happens when you work with me:
No tech jargon, just your idea and my questions
3-4 weeks from start to working prototype
Real users, real feedback, real business
"I have this idea but don't know where to start." Perfect. I'll help you figure out what to build first, then build it fast.
From sketches to real users clicking buttons. Backend, frontend, mobile app — whatever you need to get launched.
Need someone to handle all technical decisions while you focus on customers? I'll be your technical brain.
I pick the right tools for YOUR needs, not what's trendy. Simple, reliable, cost-effective.
