I'm Samir Maikap, a senior product engineer. Since 2017 I've shipped 49 web, mobile and AI products for US founders, from Laravel platforms and React Native apps to Next.js products with LLM features. I use AI coding agents where they save time, and I review, test and own everything that ships.
Three projects that show my range: AI on mobile, an eight-year SaaS line for one client, and a product I built and run. Code walkthrough on request.

Nine years of tools, with the year I started using each one and the projects where I used it.
A debrief sums up what happened after a decision. If the model invents a single line, nobody trusts the ledger again. This is how I measured that risk and fixed it.
Scores count the debrief lines the model showed. Read the full write-up →
Three ways to work together. Each starts with a written scope, so you know what you're getting before any code.
Your ideaOne paragraph is enough to get started.
A deadlineA real date lets me plan the scope around it.
A budget rangeA rough range is fine. I'll tell you what fits inside it.
Weekly planningOne call a week with you. I own the rest, all the way to production.
A live productWeb, iOS or Android, live on your domain or in the App Store.
All the source codeIn your GitHub account from the very first commit.
Automated testsLint, type checks and tests run in CI on every change.

Previously we had worked unsuccessfully with 8 other app developers… Samir took the initiative with many of the UX issues… [and] was available any time we needed him.
