Custom builds, web apps, and scalable systems. Done right the first time. You work directly with the engineer. No account managers, no relay games, no scope-creep surprises.
30+ production builds since 2023. Zero missed deadlines. One engineer answering the phone.
Most teams accept it as the cost of doing business. It isn't. It's a fixable engineering problem.
Manual exports. Sticky-note workarounds. The same spreadsheet glued together with duct tape. Every workaround is rent you pay forever to the wrong tool.
Bait-and-switch pricing. A junior dev you never met. Three months of "almost ready" emails. You ended up with code you can't maintain and a bill you can't justify.
The MVP someone duct-taped together two years ago is now the thing your business depends on. Every new feature takes a week. Every bug spawns three more. The tech debt has compounded.
Job posts sit open for half a year. The good engineers are taken. The available ones cost double what you budgeted, and you still don't know if they'll deliver.
Every project gets my full attention, honest judgment, and direct communication. From the first line of code to the production handoff.
Built to your shape, not theirs
Tailored systems for problems off-the-shelf tools cannot solve. Internal tools, process automation, custom dashboards, line-of-business apps. Built around how your team actually works.
→ Software that fits. Not workarounds.
Fast, modern, accountable
Production web apps on the stack that ships best: React, Next.js, TypeScript. Performance is a feature, not an afterthought.
→ Apps that load fast and convert.
Scale-ready from line one
Production-hardened backends for systems that have to keep running when traffic spikes, regulators ask questions, and the team grows. No shortcuts. No year-two surprises.
→ Systems built for year five, not next week.
Idea to live product, fast
End-to-end SaaS development for founders. From architecture sketch to a live, scalable product. Lean, real, investor-ready.
→ A product investors can actually click around.
Three sliders. Real numbers. The cost of doing nothing, mapped against a fixed-price project.
Conservative math. 52 working weeks per year, 70% of wasted hours recoverable with the right software. Loaded cost includes salary, benefits, overhead.
No agency theatre. No discovery-call mazes. We talk, we scope, I build, you ship.
30 minutes. We talk through what you need, what you've tried, and what's actually broken. I tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit. No pitch.
One-page scope document and architecture sketch. Fixed price. Fixed timeline. You see exactly what you get, and exactly what it costs, before you sign anything.
Iterative shipping. You see working software at the end of every week, not vague status updates. Demo-able from week one. Your call what stays and what cuts.
Clean deploy. Documentation that doesn't lie. A walk-through with whoever inherits the code. If you want me to stay for maintenance, I'm here. If not, you own everything cleanly.
I don't bill by the hour. You get a single number, a single deadline, and a contract that holds me to both.

Need something the tiers don't cover? Send me the shape of it. I scope custom work in plain English.
If I miss the agreed deadline, every week late comes off your invoice. If the build doesn't meet the spec, I keep working, on my time, at my expense, until it does. That's the contract.
I'm Muhammad Meluk, a senior software engineer based in Alexandria, Egypt, working with clients worldwide. I built DevSource because too many founders get burned by agencies that promise everything and deliver junior work three months late.
When you hire me, you talk to me. Not a project manager. Not a sales rep. Not a junior I'm supervising. The person writing your code answers your emails.
If yours isn't here, just ask on the call. I'd rather answer it once for you than write it pre-empted into a list.
Me. Muhammad Meluk, the engineer who writes the code. Not a project manager, not a junior I farm work to, not a relay team. You get my direct line, my direct calendar, and my direct accountability. If something is broken, you talk to the person who can fix it.
After the discovery call, I write a one-page scope document with a fixed price and a fixed timeline. Nothing starts until you've read it, asked questions, and signed it. If the scope changes mid-build (it sometimes does), we renegotiate before any extra work happens, never after.
Day-to-day: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node, Python, Postgres, Redis. Deploy on AWS / GCP / Vercel / Railway depending on the shape of the project. I will recommend the boring, durable stack nine times out of ten. Trendy frameworks are how MVPs become rebuilds.
Alexandria, Egypt (GMT+2). I work async with clients across the US, UK, EU, and MENA. Weekly demo calls in whatever timezone suits you. Slack, email, or WhatsApp during business hours. Emergencies get my phone.
Yes, if you want me to. Two options: a monthly retainer for ongoing development and bug-fixing, or hourly as-needed for one-off changes. If you'd rather hand the code to an internal team, the handoff includes documentation written for a human, not for a checkbox.
We pause and re-scope. I write up the new work, give you a new fixed price for it, and you decide whether to expand the contract. You will never receive a surprise invoice. Scope creep is an engineering communication failure, not a billing opportunity.
Yes. I sub-contract on larger builds, do code reviews and architecture consults, pair with junior engineers, or embed for a fixed period. Whatever shape works. I just need someone on your side who can make decisions.
Send me a note about what you're building. I'll reply within 24 hours with honest questions and (if it's a fit) a rough scope and timeline.
