XSV/DEV
XSV Development. Design, build and ship, all three by the same person. Shipped: the North Shore Beefs app and site, a creator hub for a 250K-follower account, and Bracketeer, on its way to both stores.
Build a bracket for anything: sports, movie villains, snacks, your coworkers. Put it in front of a crowd and let the votes settle it. Five formats in one private room: brackets, pick’em cards, squares sheets, survivor pools and golf field pools, all feeding one league table.
Mine end to end: the app, the sound engine, the sync server, the store listings. Every pixel and every sound is generated at runtime. No image assets, no icon packs, no UI kit, no sound files. The whole thing is about 119 KB gzipped.
The brand hub for a creator with a 250K-follower audience. His Instagram is the source: posts are scraped and parsed into 670+ spot records and a video feed, with no data entry at all.
A bracket and pool app for iOS and Android, its sync server, and the marketing site at bracketeer.me. Built solo, heading to both stores.
Four tiers by scope, and a fixed price inside 48 hours. Tell me what you need and you get a real number and a real date before any work starts, not an hourly rate and a discovery call. One person builds it: designer, developer and project manager are all the same guy, so there is less to bill for and less to lose in translation.
// Turnarounds below are averages from similar past projects. Real timelines flex with scope, how fast revisions come back, and how gnarly the build gets. Could be sooner, could be a little later. The number and the date get locked together, once, when the scope is locked.
// Working with a set budget? Say so in the brief. The right project at a tight number beats the wrong one at full price. Tell me what you've got.
I'm CJ. I build apps and websites for a living: design through deployment, including the parts nobody wants to own. the database, the admin panel, the store submission, the server that has to stay up afterwards.
Most freelance devs can't design. Most designers can't ship. Most agencies charge three times over for the gap between them. I sit in the middle of all of it, which means one person making the call instead of four relaying it through Slack.
Stack-agnostic by design. JS, TS, Java, C, C++, Rust. I'll work in whatever the project actually needs. If it's new to me, I'll figure it out. That's the job.
Based in Winchendon, MA, western side of the state. Remote anywhere, local meets welcome.
I also tattoo. New-school traditional, bold lines and saturated color. It isn't what this site sells, but it's where the drawing comes from, and it lives on Instagram: @xcessv.
Fill the brief, hit send. Email or text are best, since I work faster in writing than on a call. If we're a fit, I reply within 48 hours with a scope and a quote, not a calendar invite to align on synergy.
