I help teams turn ideas, requirements, and technical problems into working software, without unnecessary layers of communication or project management.
Technical decisions, implementation, and delivery are handled directly by Anish Jhaveri. Fast feedback and direct communication throughout the project.
Applications, backend systems, and internal tools built with maintainable code and practical deployment workflows.
Documented milestones, regular async code updates, and transparent timeline expectations from start to finish.
Your team receives the code, database schemas, documentation, and deployment details needed to continue development.
Choose the problem you need solved.
Start with the outcome. The technical scope follows from there.
MVPs, SaaS applications, customer portals, and AI-enabled products built for real use.
Features, APIs, dashboards, integrations, performance work, and technical debt reduction.
Internal tools, AI workflows, data pipelines, and system integrations that reduce operational friction.
Selected Work
Projects demonstrating full-stack development, backend engineering, and practical AI implementation.
Built a natural-language marketplace search experience that lets users describe what they need instead of relying on rigid filters.
Independent retrieval project over Stripe API docs, providing cited passages and bounded implementation answers.
BullMQ and Redis background task processing with retries, SQLite idempotency locks, worker telemetry, and failure handling.
MCP and SQLite project for validated database tools, JSON-RPC transport, and write-mutation controls at the proxy boundary.
How I work
A straightforward process to take software requirements from initial conversation to maintainable code.
We review your requirements, technical goals, and current architecture.
I outline a clear technical specification, approach, and timeline options.
We align on concrete deliverables, acceptance criteria, and check-in cadence.
I build, test, and deploy the software with regular async updates.
Full code handoff to your repositories and setup docs. Post-launch support options available after delivery.
