Process

How we'll work

Clear scope, fixed quote, regular previews.

  1. 01

    Discover

    A short call to understand the problem, the users and what success looks like. You get a clear scope and a fixed quote.

  2. 02

    Build

    I work in small milestones with a live preview link, so you see progress every few days and can steer early.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Deployment, domain, analytics and a walkthrough. Everything is documented and handed over in your name.

  4. 04

    Support

    I stick around after launch for fixes, tweaks and new features, whether that's a one-off or an ongoing retainer.

The systems businesses run on

I'm Arif, a full stack developer and automation engineer. For 5+ years I've been building customer portals, internal tools, reporting systems and end-to-end automations that replace hours of manual work.

I care about outcomes more than code: fewer manual steps, faster reports, fewer errors, and systems your team actually enjoys using.

FAQ

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Email me at hello@itsarif.me.

It depends on scope, so every project gets a fixed quote after a short discovery call. Small sites and scrapers usually take days, while larger web apps are broken into milestones you pay for as they're delivered.

A landing page or a single scraper is typically one to two weeks. A full web app or customer portal is usually four to eight weeks. You'll get a timeline with milestones before we start.

Usually, yes. I work with Playwright, SeleniumBase and remote browsers to handle JavaScript-heavy pages, logins and common bot protection. I only take on scraping of publicly available data and will flag anything that looks legally risky.

Most of my clients are in the US, UK, EU, Canada and Australia. I'm on GMT+6 and keep a few hours of overlap for calls; everything else runs asynchronously over email, Slack or WhatsApp.

You own all the code and accounts. I offer support for bug fixes and small changes, and I'm happy to keep building new features on a retainer or per-task basis.

Absolutely. I regularly pick up existing Django, Next.js and Python projects, and I'm comfortable working within your team's tools, reviews and conventions.
