What I build

Workflow automation, AI agents, integrations and internal tools for the operations and finance teams of established small and mid-size businesses, and MVP development when you need a first version. Each service below links to the case studies behind it.

Workflow automation

Replace repetitive manual work with stable systems.

Invoicing, reporting, document and data-extraction workflows for finance and operations teams. At Kintec an invoicing agent removed 70+ hours of manual work a month, and at Distinguished Clubs report production lost 250+ hours of manual work a year.

Good fit if

Your team repeats the same tasks weekly.

Not a fit if

No process exists yet.

Built before

AI agents and integrations

Practical AI inside existing systems.

Agents that read the request, check your systems and carry the task through, plus classification, triage, summarization and drafting wired into the workflow your team already uses.

Good fit if

There is clear workflow ROI.

Not a fit if

The goal is AI for marketing hype only.

Built before

Custom internal tools

Ops dashboards and admin workflows for your business.

Custom dashboards, CRMs, and back-office workflows shaped around how your company actually works.

Good fit if

SaaS tools force a bad process.

Not a fit if

An off-the-shelf tool already solves it cleanly.

Built before

MVP development

Idea to a first production release.

Scope to production with auth, payments, core flows and a clean handover: documentation and handoff-ready code your team can keep extending. The largest build, the CrossLogic discovery platform, takes single imports of 110,000+ files from Box.

Good fit if

You need a first version now.

Not a fit if

Scope is undefined and keeps shifting daily.

Which problems do you take on in detail?

  • Report, document and data automation

    Word mail-merge reports built end to end, structured data extracted from web portals, and PDF and Excel files generated automatically. One senior engineer. 4 builds with the detail.

  • Zapier or Make vs custom

    When a no-code connector is enough and when a custom integration fits, with the criteria and examples from the builds.

From call to handover

  1. 01

    Discovery

    A 15-minute scoping call with direct questions about the goal and the constraints, so the written quote that follows matches what you need.

  2. 02

    Written quote

    Fixed scope, timeline, and deliverables on paper before any code is written.

  3. 03

    Build phase

    Daily async updates and weekly demo so you always see exactly where it stands.

  4. 04

    Launch + support

    Production deploy, documentation, and a 14-day fix window after handover.

How working with one engineer stays safe

  • Fixed price, in writing first

    After the 15-minute call you get a written quote with fixed scope, timeline and deliverables, within 48 hours and before any code is written.

  • You own what is built

    Full ownership transfers at handover, with documentation and handoff-ready code your team can keep extending.

  • One senior engineer, no layers

    The person you talk to does the building. One communication channel, daily async updates and a weekly demo during the build.

  • A 14-day fix window

    Production deploy, documentation, and a 14-day fix window after handover.

  • NDA friendly

    Clients are named in case studies only where they agreed. Otherwise specifics are anonymized.

  • Replies within a business day

    Book a 15-minute call or email hello@yourprivatedev.com. Replies come within one business day.

Common questions

  • How does pricing work?

    Pricing is fixed and agreed in writing before any code is written. After a 15-minute scoping call you get a written quote with fixed scope, timeline and deliverables within 48 hours. A fixed price means the cost is set by that written scope rather than by hours worked, so you know what you are committing to before the build starts. No price list is published, because every project is scoped on its own.

  • How long does a project take?

    It depends on the scope, and the answer is written into your quote. Every project is scoped on its own, and the timeline is part of the written quote you get within 48 hours of the 15-minute scoping call, before any code is written. During the build you get daily async updates and a weekly demo, so you can see progress against that timeline. No standard duration is published, because projects differ in scope.

  • Who will I work with?

    You work with one senior engineer, who also does the building. There is one direct builder, one communication channel and no agency layers between you and the person writing the code. The person who takes your scoping call is the person who builds the project. During the build you get daily async updates and a weekly demo, so you always see where the work stands.

  • Do I own the code?

    Yes, you own what is built. Full ownership transfers at handover, together with documentation and handoff-ready code that your team can keep extending. That means you are not tied to the engineer who built it: your own team or another developer can pick the code up. Handover comes after the production deploy and is followed by a 14-day fix window.

  • What happens after launch?

    After launch you get a production deploy, documentation and a 14-day fix window after handover. The fix window is the period in which problems in what was delivered are handled. Because the code is handed over with documentation, your team can keep extending it once the window has closed. Handover is the last step of the engagement, after the build phase and the production deploy.

  • Can you work under an NDA?

    Yes, the service is NDA friendly. Clients are named in case studies only where they agreed, and otherwise specifics are anonymized, so confidential details do not appear on the public site. If your project needs an NDA before you describe it, say so on the 15-minute scoping call or in your first email to hello@yourprivatedev.com, where replies come within one business day.

  • What kinds of businesses do you work with?

    Operations and finance teams at established small and mid-size businesses whose work depends on repetitive operations. Shipped projects span finance and invoicing, HubSpot integrations, a roofing contractor, report production, benefits consulting, legal tech and RegTech. The common thread is repetitive operations that a team currently handles by hand or across disconnected tools. Case studies include Kintec Global (Business Central invoicing), Aid Through Trade (Brightpearl and HubSpot), Distinguished Clubs (annual reports) and CrossLogic Intelligence (criminal defense discovery).

  • What is not a good fit?

    Four kinds of project are not a good fit: those with undefined scope and no decision-maker, processes that do not exist yet, cases where an off-the-shelf tool already solves the problem cleanly, and AI for marketing hype only. The service works best where a team repeats the same tasks weekly and there is clear workflow ROI. If you are unsure which side your project falls on, the 15-minute scoping call is the place to find out.

  • Is the service remote?

    Yes. Your Private Dev is fully remote and works with clients worldwide. Collaboration is built around one communication channel, daily async updates and a weekly demo during the build, and the 15-minute scoping call is booked online at cal.com/yourprivatedev/15min, so no one needs to be in the same place as the engineer to start or to finish a project. Case studies come from several fields, including finance, legal tech and franchise operations.

  • Is Your Private Dev related to other businesses with a similar name?

    No. Your Private Dev (yourprivatedev.com) is an independent one-person engineering service and is not affiliated with other businesses that use a similar name. If a search for the name returns a different business, check the domain: only yourprivatedev.com and hello@yourprivatedev.com belong to this service. The service builds workflow automation, AI agents, integrations and internal tools for operations and finance teams.

  • How do I get started?

    Book a 15-minute scoping call at cal.com/yourprivatedev/15min or email hello@yourprivatedev.com; replies come within one business day. On the call you describe the goal and the constraints and get direct questions back. Within 48 hours of the call you receive a written quote with fixed scope, timeline and deliverables, before any code is written. The call is also where fit is decided: the service is not a good fit for undefined scope, processes that do not exist yet, or problems an off-the-shelf tool already solves cleanly.
