Looking for the best full stack developer in California? I build first versions of web products: sign-in, dashboard and API, plus the marketing site.

How I work with California businesses from Dhaka

California is 13 hours behind Dhaka in summer and 14 in winter. My evening lines up with your 7 am to noon, so you get replies before the workday gets busy and a live call is easy early in the morning.

What California businesses ask me to build

  • Startups and SaaS

    An MVP with sign-in, a dashboard and an API, plus the marketing site that sells it. Wrkbase, my own SaaS, went from idea to launch this way, including an AI agent that acts only after approval.

  • Direct-to-consumer brands

    A custom storefront and order dashboard when a hosted store builder or a plugin stack has stopped fitting how the brand sells.

  • Creator and media businesses

    Membership sites, course platforms and fast content sites. I built the WordPress LMS for Open Alliance Learning, with a dashboard for learners, teachers and assessors.

What to check before you pick a full stack developer in California

  • 01

    Live projects to click through

    Ask for sites you can use, not screenshots. Mine are Tabby, Wrkbase, Open Alliance Learning, each with a case study.

  • 02

    The admin side, not only the website

    Orders, users, stock and reports are where a business spends its day. Ask who builds those screens and who keeps them working.

  • 03

    One person from design to launch

    Fewer hand-offs means fewer misunderstandings. I research competitors, design the UI and UX, then build the frontend and backend myself.

  • 04

    A reply you can plan around

    You get an answer within 24 hours, prices in US dollars, and a written quote before work starts. Websites from $600, web applications from $999, WordPress builds from $300.

Services

How your project runs, step by step

  1. Step 01

    Study your competitors

    I look at what competitors do well and where they leave gaps, before a single screen is drawn.

  2. Step 02

    Design the UI and UX

    I design the screens myself, so what you approve is what gets built.

  3. Step 03

    Build frontend to backend

    Pages, accounts, orders, payments and the admin dashboard, built as one job.

  4. Step 04

    Launch and look after it

    Speed checked on a phone, then backups, monitoring and changes through website care.

Your questions about hiring a full stack developer in California

Ask something else on WhatsApp

Can you build an MVP quickly?

Yes, by cutting scope to the one thing users must do. I build that first, properly, so real users can start on it, then add the rest in order. You see working screens every week.

Have you worked with California companies?

Yes. Tabby, an AI bookkeeping company in the US, hired me to build its v2.0 website ahead of an event in San Francisco, and I have worked with them for two years since.

How do I reach you across a 13-hour difference?

I work an evening shift in Dhaka that covers your 7 am to noon Pacific. Messages sent in your afternoon are answered by the next morning, and live calls are best before 11 am your time.

Do you use AI in the products you build?

Where it helps. Wrkbase includes an AI agent that executes approved actions and keeps an activity log, and I have built AI demo plugins for Tabby. I will only add AI where it solves a problem your users have.
