Remote app developer, worldwide

A remote app developer who was never going to be in your office anyway

Book a free 30-min call

Built anywhere, for everywhere. One architect with 20+ years of experience, a written scope, a fixed price per milestone and a full handover. No agency, no offshore relay, no meetings for their own sake.

Four ways in, one architect

Already have an engineering team? Then bring me in for an Architecture Review, a single app or the vendor review.

Remote was the plan from the start, not a fallback. Most agencies went remote because they had to, and kept working as though everyone were still in one room: the daily stand-up, the decisions made verbally, the context that lives in someone's head. That, more than the distance, is what makes distributed projects feel slow.

Written first, spoken second

Scope, budget and risks are locked in writing before anything is built. Progress lands in a log you can read whenever your day starts. Decisions leave a trail, so nobody has to remember what was agreed six weeks ago. Calls happen when a call is genuinely faster than a paragraph, and they are booked by appointment.

Some things are easier to show than to write: a new screen, a walkthrough of a release, the reasoning behind an architecture decision. For those I record a short screen video. You watch it when it suits you and reply in writing, pointing to the moment in the video you mean. Written updates and short videos together are what let asynchronous work run smoothly between clients anywhere in the world.

One person, end to end

Distributed teams multiply handoffs, and every handoff is where context goes missing. Here there are none. The architect who scopes your app is the one who builds the server side, ships the store release and answers the question three months later. Apps built natively for iPhone and Mac or once for both iPhone and Android, and servers behind them that are meant to run for years.

The same deal wherever you are

  • First Version (MVP) from $27,800, market-ready app from $83,300
  • Fixed price agreed up front, not an hourly rate that grows with the distance
  • Data model planned with GDPR in mind, a useful baseline for most other privacy regimes

Where this does not work

If you need someone in the building, someone to sit in your all-hands, or a team you can scale to twenty next quarter, this is honestly the wrong fit. If you need one accountable engineer who ships and then keeps the thing alive, distance is not the variable that decides it.

Price, contract and data

  • Every step has a fixed price, set in writing before work starts; extra scope is added only through a change order you approve in writing.
  • The code sits in your repository from day one; with each paid milestone, the rights to everything delivered up to that point pass to you. Third-party components and pre-existing tools keep their own licences.
  • For rescues and new builds, 90 days of free bug-fixing after launch, on top of the 12-month warranty under the Terms. Ongoing operation starts at $1,400 a month.
  • You contract with DigitalFreedom Global LLC, Wyoming, USA. All prices are net; the tax treatment is clarified before contract and stated in the offer.
  • Our infrastructure is in the United Kingdom and Europe. Where I process personal data on your behalf, we sign a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). The provider overview on digitalfreedom.co.za lists the subprocessors, their locations and the contractual safeguards.

Common questions

Where are you based?

Built anywhere, for everywhere. The company is DigitalFreedom Global LLC, registered in Sheridan, Wyoming. The work is done wherever the work is best done, and it is delivered the same way regardless: written scope, fixed price, full handover.

Does remote work slow a project down?

It does when it is run as an office over a video call. It does not when it is designed for it. Decisions are written, not spoken and forgotten; progress is readable at any hour; a call happens when a call is genuinely faster than a paragraph. Where a demo says more than text, a short screen video does the job, watched whenever it suits you and answered in writing.

Which countries do you work for?

Clients in English- and German-speaking countries: the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa as well as Germany, Austria and Switzerland, plus clients in the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong. Coordination runs in writing or through short screen videos, and calls are arranged by appointment.

What does it cost?

A First Version (MVP) from $27,800 in two to four weeks, a market-ready app from $83,300 in three to four months, operation from $1,400 a month. A fixed price, not an hourly rate, and the same price wherever you are.
