The new way to ship products.

Software used to mean filing tickets, waiting on five teams, and hoping the design survives the handoff. Darsh Gupta is the only contractor who acts like a co-pilot for you (and your AI agents) — design, frontend, backend, infra — autonomously.

One contractor. Whole stack.

Frontend, backend, infra, design, payments, real-time, auth — no hand-offs. The seam where most projects die just isn’t there. Tap any number to open the receipt.

Build better products with one operator.

Not your mama’s freelancer. Design, frontend, backend, integrations and devops live as a first-class single workflow — meaning you can ship in days, not quarters.

Debug like the source author — because I usually am.

Inheriting a broken Next.js / NestJS / Prisma stack? I’ve published six MIT libraries and shipped 24+ production systems. The bug is probably one I’ve already fixed.

// from a real audit
- 4,020-line schema → 139 models, 255+ composite indexes
- N+1 across 3 modules → batched in a single migration
- Cron drift on 8 jobs → unified BullMQ + alerting
- Sentry P95 638ms → 142ms after 1 week

Ship fast — without shipping the bug.

Preview deploys per branch, type-safe end-to-end, real users behind feature gates, and a rollback that doesn’t require a war room.

  • Vercel preview URLs · per-PR data branches
  • Server actions + zod boundaries · no `any` past the network
  • Feature flags from day one · gated rollouts
  • Lighthouse + a11y in CI · Sentry + Vercel Analytics post-merge
