Skip the high platform markups, sales calls, and agency fees. Build your production mobile and web applications directly with an experienced engineer who owns the entire stack.
Arc.dev operates as a managed marketplace that screens freelancers and acts as a middleman, charging client-side commission margins (often 20% to 40%) and adding administrative layers.
Sachin Sharma provides direct, 1-on-1 collaboration with a proven history of launching production-grade apps (like ESPO with production-grade installations). You get agency-level output at independent developer rates without platform fees.
Side-by-side comparison illustrating direct contract efficiency.

| Vetting Guarantee | ✓ Yes | Proven Live Portfolio |
| Contract Handover | Platform Restricted | Instant Git Transfer |
| Time to Start | 1 - 3 Weeks | 24 - 48 Hours |
| Hiring Fee | Varies (Restricted) | 0% Direct Contract |
| Deployment Frequency | Weekly / Milestone Based | Daily / Direct Git |
Managed vetting platforms like Arc.dev build business models around markups. The developer building your product often receives only 60-70% of the hourly rate you are billed. This mismatch can lead to under-incentivized talent and misaligned expectations.
When you work with Sachin, 100% of your budget goes into engineering quality. There are no hidden platform margins, placement fees, or administrative overhead. You get full code ownership, direct communication, and immediate project iterations.
Technically, this direct pipeline translates to faster execution. On a vetted platform, code reviews, staging deployments, and feature requests often flow through layers of project managers, causing communication bottlenecks. Sachin works directly within your GitHub repository, integrating changes daily and maintaining a strict, clean, modular TypeScript codebase with automated deployment pipelines.
If you need to scale up a large, multi-disciplinary team of 10+ engineers overnight and require corporate billing compliance, platforms like Arc.dev are highly valuable. They handle the operational load of scaling human resources.
However, if you are a startup founder or product lead who needs to build a high-performance MVP, launch a custom mobile application, or refactor a legacy system, hiring Sachin directly provides faster delivery, better performance optimization, and substantial cost savings.
By bypassing the vetting agency structure, you establish a direct technical partnership. This allows for rapid feature validation, direct codebase audits, and custom performance adjustments (such as shader precompilation for 60fps Flutter rendering or edge-rendering configurations) that general platform contractors rarely have the mandate or context to perform.
Sachin offers similar rigorous engineering capabilities (TypeScript, Flutter, Node.js, Next.js) but operates directly. This removes the platform commission, speeding up communication and feedback loops.
No. All contracts are direct, meaning 100% of your budget goes to software development instead of platform markups.
Code is pushed daily to your private repository (GitHub/GitLab) with full intellectual property transfer on day one.
Skip the middleman platforms, sales cycles, and markups. Connect directly with Sachin to audit your codebase or plan your upcoming release.
