Bengaluru → United States · remote, USD billing
A developer for your US business, minus the agency layer.
Fast websites, AI search visibility, e-commerce performance, and AI chatbots — built by the person you talk to, billed in USD, handed over with the keys.
Sound familiar?
If you found this page searching for a developer, it's probably one of these:
- An agency quote came back with a monthly retainer and a project manager you'll never actually talk to
- Your site loads slowly on mobile, and Google's Core Web Vitals report is all red
- You show up fine in a Google search, but ChatGPT and Perplexity have never heard of you
- Your Shopify checkout is losing sales and nobody's been able to say exactly why
- You want a chatbot that actually knows your business, not a scripted widget that frustrates customers
What I build for US clients
Four things, each delivered end to end by one person — the same one who answers your messages.
Websites & web apps
Astro or React on the front, FastAPI or Django on the back. Built to load in under a second and pass Core Web Vitals, not just look fine in a demo.
AI search visibility
Getting cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews, not just ranked in blue links. Structured content, schema markup, and the technical groundwork those systems actually read.
E-commerce performance & CRO
Shopify or WooCommerce sites that lose sales to slow checkout and bloated apps. Audited and fixed against Core Web Vitals and real conversion data, not guesswork.
AI chatbots & agents
A support or sales widget trained on your own docs and product data, not a generic bot that makes things up. Handles the routine questions, hands off the rest.
Why a remote developer instead of a local agency
The pitch isn't "cheaper for the sake of cheaper" — it's that you're paying for the work itself, not an office, an account manager, and a sales team on top of it. You get a fixed-price scope, a live preview link from day one, and direct access to the person actually writing the code.
The time difference works in your favor more often than not: something you ask for in your evening is frequently done by the time you're back at your desk the next morning. And if you want a live call inside a normal US working day, that's doable too — it just needs booking ahead.
One client, real numbers
I'd rather show one project honestly than a wall of logos. This one's Indian, but the process is identical wherever the client is. Full breakdown
How working together goes
A call, free
Twenty to thirty minutes on what you need and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll point you somewhere better instead of taking the project anyway.
A written scope and a fixed price in USD
Exactly what gets built, what it costs, and when it ships. No hourly billing that quietly expands.
Build, with you watching
A live preview link from day one. Feedback goes straight to me by email or WhatsApp, not through a support ticket queue.
Handover you actually own
Your domain, your hosting, your accounts, your code — plus a walkthrough so you can make small changes yourself.
Pricing
Priced in USD. Most projects are a Growth build or a retainer.
Up to 5 pages, mobile-first, fast hosting, on-page SEO basics, one round of revisions

Common questions
Do you actually work with businesses in the US?
Yes, remotely — everything here (calls, live preview links, handover) works the same regardless of which country you're in. Billing is in USD.
Have you worked with US clients before?
My one published case study so far is an Indian business — see the weddingcreation.in breakdown. The process and standards don't change based on where the client is, but I'd rather say that plainly than imply otherwise.
What's the time difference actually like to work with?
Bengaluru is roughly 10-13 hours ahead of the US depending on your coast and the season. In practice that means work you hand off in your evening is often done by your next morning, and there's still a workable overlap window for a live call if you want one.
Why hire a solo developer in India instead of a US agency?
Mainly cost and directness — you're paying for the work, not an account manager and an office. You also talk to the person who writes the code the whole way through, not a rotating cast.
Do you bill in USD?
Yes. Invoices are in USD, paid by bank transfer, Wise, or card — whatever's easiest on your end.
What if I just want one thing fixed, not a whole project?
Say what's broken and I'll quote it honestly, including telling you if it's a small fix that doesn't need a full package.
Tell me what your US business needs.
Email or WhatsApp both work — most messages get a reply the same or next day regardless of time zone.
