About us
Senior software, shipped on purpose.
StartBuilds is the engineering studio for founders and operators who need a real product — not endless discovery decks. We scope clearly, price fixed, and deliver production-ready code you own outright.
What we believe
AI makes it faster to write code — it doesn't replace judgment, architecture, or accountability. We use modern tools to move quickly, but every release is reviewed, tested, and owned by experienced engineers who've shipped products before.
You bring the product. We become your engineering team — until you're ready to hire one in-house.
Our team
Real people on every build.
Senior-led, small by design — you work with the people who scope, ship, and answer when production misbehaves.
Founder & lead engineer
Hi, I'm Naveen.
12+ years full-stack, including 3 years as Technical Architect at a global MNC with Fortune 500 teams. Shipped 20+ SaaS products; uses Cursor and Claude Code daily — knows where AI-built apps break. Leads architecture and client delivery on every engagement.
How we work
One way of working across MVPs, websites, automation, and rescue work.
Strategy before syntax
Every engagement starts with the user, the riskiest assumptions, and the smallest shippable version — then we quote a fixed build.
AI-accelerated, human-reviewed
We use AI where it saves time, never where it hides quality. Custom software, not fragile no-code duct tape.
Fixed price, visible progress
Milestone payments, weekly demos, and written scope so you're never guessing what's happening.
You own everything
Repos, infrastructure docs, and IP transfer at delivery. No lock-in, no hostage data.
