Engineering that ships.

Got an AI prototype that impresses in demos but falls over under real traffic? I take that prototype and the codebase around it, and turn both into something you can ship with confidence and run without pager calls.

How I Can
Help You Ship

Four ways I work with founders and product teams. Each engagement is scoped, time-boxed, and ends with you owning a real, shipped outcome.

Most Requested

AI-to-Production Sprint

Take your working LLM or AI prototype and ship it as a reliable product real users can depend on.

What you get

  • Auth, rate-limits, and abuse protection
  • Observability, logs, and cost tracking
  • CI/CD pipeline and infra-as-code
  • Production deploy + on-call handoff

Recent: Mercedes Benz tooling · MedLucy desktop app

LLM AppsInfraObservabilityCI/CD

Product Build (Idea to Launch)

I partner with founders end-to-end: turn a validated idea into a shipped product with real users.

What you get

  • Product architecture and tech selection
  • Full-stack build (web, desktop, or PWA)
  • On-site discovery with end users when needed
  • Launch, monitoring, and post-launch iteration

Recent: MedLucy (Zürich) · Metal · Bykea PWA

ArchitectureFull StackDiscoveryLaunch

Modernization & Tech Audit

Untangle a struggling codebase. Get a clear plan, faster app, and a team that can ship again.

What you get

  • Architecture and performance audit
  • Concrete refactor / migration plan
  • Hands-on perf and bundle optimization
  • Hand-rolled rollout with your team

Fractional Tech Lead

Senior engineering leadership for teams that aren't ready to hire a full-time CTO yet.

What you get

  • Tech direction and architectural reviews
  • PR reviews, mentorship, and hiring help
  • Cross-team alignment with backend / product
  • Roadmap support and delivery rituals

Say About Me

Gjergj Subashi

Founder @MedLucy | Zürich, Switzerland

Worked with Farhan on MedLucy · July 2025

I worked with Farhan on my product, and honestly, he became a core part of the team very quickly.

He helped a lot not just with development, but also with thinking through the project, structure, and management. He has very strong analytical skills and is very good at solving problems in a practical way.

What I appreciated most is that he is always available. Really, 24/7. He never missed a call, and whenever something came up, doesn't matter if it was in his stack or not, he always gave a solid opinion. He became my go-to person for basically everything.

I came to him with just an idea, to build a desktop application for doctors called MedLucy. Now we are working with one of the major software providers in Luxembourg, which says a lot.

He even traveled to Luxembourg to meet me and the doctors in person. That was really impressive and showed his dedication.

Farhan thinks long-term and doesn't just do quick fixes. He wants things to work properly and grow.

Overall, very reliable guy, easy to work with, and someone you can trust with your product. I can definitely recommend him.

Managed Farhan directly · November 2025

I've had the pleasure of working with Farhan for almost two years, and during this time, I've seen firsthand the value he brings to the team. As the Technical Product Owner on our project, I work closely with him not only on the technical side but also in planning and aligning sprint goals.

Farhan's technical expertise truly stands out; his attention to detail in implementation and the thoughtfulness of his suggestions make a real difference in the quality of our product. He's reliable, professional, and consistently shows up for the team.

In a short time, he became an expert in Figma plugin development, leading our Mercedes-Benz project with confidence and becoming a go-to person for similar initiatives across the company.

What sets Farhan apart even further is his strong communication and emotional intelligence, skills that are invaluable in any team environment today.

Highly recommended!

FAQ

Questions before you book

How long does a typical engagement take?

It depends on the package. An AI-to-Production Sprint usually runs 6 to 8 weeks. A Product Build from idea to launch is 3 to 6 months. Modernization audits deliver a plan in 2 weeks, with hands-on work scoped separately. Fractional Tech Lead is ongoing, typically 1 to 2 days per week.

Do you charge fixed-price or hourly?

I prefer fixed-price or fixed-day-rate per sprint so there's no clock-watching on either side. After a free discovery call I send a written scope with the price, deliverables, and timeline. You know exactly what you're getting before you commit.

Can we start with a small piece of work?

Absolutely. A short technical audit or a two-week architecture review is a common way to work together before committing to a longer engagement. It's also how I get comfortable with your codebase.

What timezones do you work in?

I'm based in Leipzig, Germany (CET/CEST). I have overlap with European, UK, and East Coast US hours. For Asia-Pacific, we can usually find 2–3 hours of overlap per day. Fully async work is fine too.

Not just you, right? Can this scale?

Correct, it's not just me. Small projects I ship solo with no handoffs. For bigger scopes I plug into a global network of senior engineers and vetted software houses (frontend, backend, mobile, design, QA) I've worked with across Europe, the UK, Canada, and Pakistan. If your project outgrows one person, I connect you directly to the right team. No agency markup, no reselling. You always know who's on your project and why. See the Network section below for the kind of partners I can bring in.

What if my project isn't AI-related?

AI-to-production is the featured engagement, but most of my work is classic web and desktop product building. React, Next.js, Electron, Node. If your project is any of those, the process is the same.
