Available for new projects

I build the app you keep describing to people.

I'm Amine Elbarry, a full-stack and mobile developer in Marrakech. For 5+ years I've turned rough ideas into web apps, mobile apps and AI features that real people use every day.

It starts as a sketch.

Most projects I take on begin as a few lines on paper and a lot of questions. That's all you need to start.

We agree on version one.

We pick the features that prove your idea and write them down. Everything else goes on a later list, so the price and the timeline stay honest.

You watch it come to life.

I build in weekly steps. Every week you get a working version you can tap through, not a status report.

Then it goes live.

This is Atikia, a real estate app I built for the Moroccan market. It's live on the App Store and Google Play.

What working with me is like

Founders who've been burned before usually ask about these first.

  • You own all of it.

    The code, the accounts and the store listings are in your name from the start. Nothing is held back at the end.

    Who owns the source code?
  • You hear it from me first.

    Plain English, no jargon. If something will take longer or cost more, I tell you early, with the reason.

  • Our hours overlap.

    I'm in Morocco. That's a full workday with Europe and the afternoon with the US East Coast.

  • It outlasts me.

    Clean code, written docs and a proper handover, so any developer can pick it up later.

    My handover checklist

Not ready to talk? Ask my AI.

It knows my projects, my stack and how I work, and it answers right away, at any hour. It's also a small demo of the AI features I build for clients.

Hi, I'm Amine. Ask me about my projects, the tools I use, or how I'd build your idea. I answer right away.

Guides for founders

Straight answers to the questions people ask me before a project starts.

  • How to Build an MVP: A Founder's GuideYou have an idea and a budget, and you're about to hand both to a developer. Here's the whole path — what to cut, how long it takes, what to build it with, and where founders lose money — written by the person on the other side of that contract.8 min read
  • How to Hire a Developer to Build Your MVPShortlisting, comparing proposals, spotting the agency that sells with seniors and delivers with juniors, and getting ownership in writing — the full hiring process, written from the side that receives the brief.7 min read
  • What Goes in Version One: How to Scope an MVPScope is cost — not the framework, not the hosting. The method for cutting a feature list to one workflow, the features founders always assume are trivial, and the question that settles every argument about what stays.6 min read
  • Red Flags in a Development ProposalThe warning signs are in what a proposal leaves out, not what it promises. Fourteen red flags, why each one predicts trouble, and the subtle one that looks like excellent customer service.6 min read
