Okupter Solo studio MVPs in two-week sprints Est. 2022

Your MVP, live in four weeks.

I'm Justin. You have a launch date, no senior engineer for the build, or an AI feature stuck in the backlog. I ship it with Svelte and SvelteKit in two-week sprints, at $6,000 each. Four weeks is two sprints.

Proof: Cyfrin's Updraft went from brief to live MVP in four weeks. It now serves 100K+ monthly users and 2M+ lessons per month. As an engineer at WebDevStudios, I also worked on NBA Cares and the WNBA's site.

A note from

Justin did a killer job for us, organizing and planning out the first part of our education platform, and honestly, we wouldn't have been able to launch it without him.

Justin did a killer job for us, organizing and planning out the first part of our education platform, and honestly, we wouldn't have been able to launch it without him.

He came in and built it from scratch from the very beginning in SvelteKit, he was an integral part of the team as we built up the team around him to be able to support a larger platform like updraft. It was a fantastic experience with Justin.

We would definitely come back to him when we need another extra pair of hands on the SvelteKit side.

Just ten out of ten. Huge kudos.

Thank you, Justin. Bye.

I'm an experienced developer, and I'm new also new to SvelteKit.

Justin was able to help confirm I was on the right path for places where I wasn't confident my solution was optimal. For issues where

I could not find a solution on my own, he was able to quickly come up with a few options to try.

Justin is a delight to work with.

From the start of the project to the end, he made sure to be on par with the scope and even went beyond our expectations.

What started as a business partnership has now evolved into a close relationship between our two businesses, NerdyJoe and Okupter.

Justin helped me implement some tricky authentication. The experience was seamless.

He’s calm, professional, always listening and very efficient. His debugging skills were impressive.

Of course, he knows Svelte/kit inside out. I felt I was in good hands. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Talking with Justin has been a real gift for the amount of info and expertise received.

In less than 10 minutes, I had all the information I was needing to start developing new things in the world of mobile apps and frameworks.

Within a few minutes of explaining the design stage of an application I was working on, Justin was able to hit the ground running and provide me peace of mind that my architecture was on track.
He was also a great help on implementation details that follow SvelteKit best practices.
Would definitely recommend!

It was great speaking with Justin.

His passion for SvelteKit/WordPress comes through so clearly and while he has a great deal more knowledge of the subject than I have he made me feel very comfortable in my discussions with him.

I would highly recommmend!

I've had my first session with Justin, and he was very knowledgeable on the practical aspects of the technology.

He was able to understand the context of my project very quickly, and clearly explained the best approach to addressing various issues, but remained fair and balanced on the pros and cons of each approach.

He took the time to understand the details and modes of failure, and was able to very quickly react to clarifications and new information from me with alternatives approaches.

I think I'll be back.

It was a great pleasure getting your consultation on my problem. Now I have a much better understanding of JavaScript objects and their assignments in different scenarios.

I would with no doubt give you a 5!
Thanks again.
