I need a sharp, US-based engineer to handle a complete software build from the ground up. My requirement is clear: software development, and more specifically full-stack development that spans everything—database design, API layer, business logic, and the user-facing interface. The feature set is still flexible, so I’d value your input on the best architecture and stack. Whether you favour Node/Express with React, Python/Django paired with Vue, or another modern combination, I’m open as long as the solution is scalable, well-tested, and easy to deploy. You’ll take ownership of setting up the repo, choosing tooling, and establishing good DevOps practices from day one. Deliverables • A working MVP covering the core user flows • Unit and integration tests with solid coverage • Containerised deployment scripts (Docker Compose or Kubernetes) • A brief setup guide so the app runs locally with a single command Acceptance criteria The container or compiled binary must launch cleanly, all automated tests must pass, and a minimal CI pipeline (GitHub Actions is fine) should run these checks on every push. If you thrive on end-to-end projects and can collaborate during US hours, I’m ready to get started right away.
