Taking on new projects — 2026

Turning your ideas into production-ready software.

“I treat every project as if my name is on it — because it is.”

I'm Samarth, an independent software developer. I help startups, founders and growing businesses design, build and launch web apps, mobile apps and APIs — and you work directly with me, from the first message to launch day and beyond.

About me

One developer. Full ownership of your product.

Hi, I'm Samarth Patel — a software developer who works independently with startups, founders and small businesses. I take ideas from a rough sketch to a reliable product in the hands of real users.

I'm not an agency, and there's no team behind a curtain. When you work with me, you talk directly to the person designing your screens, writing your code and deploying your servers. Decisions happen faster, nothing gets lost in translation, and you always know exactly where your project stands.

I care about the details that make software feel trustworthy: fast load times, clear interfaces, sensible architecture and code that another developer could happily pick up years from now.

What I can build for you

Every project is different, but most fit into one of these. Each one is about a business outcome first — the technology is how we get there.

01

Business Websites

A fast, polished site that explains what you do in seconds and turns visitors into enquiries — easy for you to update without calling me.

More qualified leadsLearn more →

05

AI Integrations

Practical AI where it earns its place — support assistants, document search, content generation — wired into the tools you already use.

Do more with the same teamLearn more →

07

Cloud Deployment

Hosting that stays up when traffic spikes, with automated deploys, backups and monitoring — and bills that don't surprise you.

Peace of mind at scale

08

Maintenance & Support

Updates, fixes and small improvements after launch, handled by the person who already knows your codebase inside out.

A product that keeps improving

Selected work

Real problems, shipped solutions

A few projects I've designed and built end to end. Each one started with a problem worth solving — here's how I approached it.

Healthcare · Backend & Dashboard

Maternal Care Dashboard

A backend and web dashboard that lets maternal and newborn care teams record patient data and act on automatic risk alerts.

Problem
Mothers' and newborns' health information was spread across paper records, devices and different facilities, so no one had a complete picture of a patient. Without a clear way to rank risk and escalate, early warning signs could be missed or acted on too late.
Solution
I built the backend and a web dashboard. Clinic staff use it to register mothers and newborns, record vitals, symptoms and notes, and work through a queue of risk alerts that a rules engine raises automatically. Supervisors and administrators get analytics, facility and staff management, and PDF export of a patient's timeline, and each facility can only see its own patients.
Outcome
I built the backend to last beyond the first contract, and it did. When the client came back in September for a mobile app, the app ran on this same backend. I extended it with new modules and database migrations without deleting or rewriting any of the original code.

Healthcare · Mobile

Maternal Care Mobile App

A mobile app for clinic staff and patients. The same client hired me to build it on the backend I'd made for them earlier in the year.

Problem
The dashboard kept care teams at a desk, but much of their work happens elsewhere, and many of the clinics they serve have unreliable internet. Once mothers went home, the care team also had no readings from them until the next visit.
Solution
I built a React Native app on the same backend. Staff can do their clinical work on a phone and keep recording when there's no signal; entries are stored encrypted on the device and sync when the connection returns. Patients get their own login to send home blood pressure readings from a Bluetooth monitor and record voice diaries. I also extended the backend with medication safety checks, urine, scan and growth tracking, and patient self-service, which the dashboard and the app both use.
Outcome
The client came back for this project after the dashboard. The app runs on the backend I built in January: I added new modules and migrations without deleting or rewriting any original code. I delivered it in two weeks, the same pace as the dashboard, with signed Android builds produced automatically on every release.

How I work

A calm, clear process from idea to launch

No black boxes. You'll know what I'm working on, what's next, and what I need from you at every stage.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    1–3 days

    A written back-and-forth in chat about your goals, users and constraints — at your pace, no calls needed. I ask a lot of questions so we agree on what success looks like before any code is written.

  2. 02

    Planning

    2–5 days

    You get a written proposal with scope, milestones, a fixed quote and a recommended stack. Once you approve it, we sign a simple contract — all online, in plain language, with no surprises in the fine print.

  3. 03

    Design

    1–2 weeks

    Wireframes, then high-fidelity screens you can click through. We iterate together until it feels right on desktop and mobile.

  4. 04

    Development

    2–10 weeks

    I build in weekly milestones with a live staging link, so you see real progress every week instead of waiting for a big reveal.

  5. 05

    Testing

    Ongoing

    Automated tests, cross-device checks, performance and accessibility passes. You review everything on staging before it goes public.

  6. 06

    Deployment

    1–2 days

    I handle domains, hosting, analytics and the launch itself — then walk you through how everything works so you're never locked out.

  7. 07

    Support

    As long as you need

    Launch is the beginning. I stay available for fixes, improvements and new features, on a retainer or as needed.

Why work with me

The benefits of hiring one dedicated developer

Working with an independent developer is a different experience from working with an agency. Here's what that means for you.

You talk to the developer

No account managers or handoffs. The person replying to your messages is the person writing your code.

No middlemen

No agency overhead baked into your quote — your budget goes into building your product.

Fast iterations

Feedback on Monday can be live on staging by Tuesday. Small team of one, short loops.

Transparent by default

Weekly updates, a shared task board and full access to the repository from day one.

Modern, proven technology

Tools chosen for your product's needs and future hiring — not for novelty.

Long-term support

I'm around after launch. Many clients keep working with me as their product grows.

Clean, scalable code

Typed, tested and documented, so another developer could take over tomorrow if needed.

What clients say

Feedback from people I've worked with. Every quote here is shared with permission.

Maternal Care Dashboard · Jan 2026
“Our maternal programme was running on paper registers and spreadsheets. Within about two weeks Samarth gave us a dashboard that flags high-risk readings and puts them in a queue someone owns.”
DADavid AgunedeProgramme Founder
Maternal Care Mobile App · Sept 2026
“When we needed a mobile app, we didn't want to start over with someone new, so we went back to him. He built it on the same backend, with offline recording for the sites where the signal keeps dropping. Reliable, quick, and honest about what wasn't finished yet.”
DADavid AgunedeProgramme Founder
