    This engagement fits when

    1. Whereasyour priority now is shipping the product;

    As a CTO myself, I have high standards. Chalabi met every single one. The architecture was clean, scalable, and well-documented. He didn't just build an MVP—he built a foundation we could grow on. The post-launch support was exceptional. If you're serious about shipping, Chalabi is your guy.

    Ayoub Chalabi is world-class. We came in with a rough idea and left with a fully functional, payment-ready product. His technical skills are matched by his ability to communicate complex decisions in simple terms. […] Our users love the UI.

    Working with Chalabi was a game-changer for Learnrithm. He delivered our MVP in record time and the quality exceeded our expectations. The Stripe integration worked flawlessly from day one. His understanding of AI-powered products and attention to scalability meant we launched with confidence. Highly recommend for any founder who wants to ship fast.

    Individual experiences may not be typical. Results depend on each project's scope, inputs and circumstances, and are not a guarantee of a specific outcome.

    Ayoub Chalabi

    Founder & Software Builder

    I've been building software products since I was 18 and have shipped more than ten of them, including the exhibits above.

    MVPY is how I work with founders. I scope, build and hand over the product myself, so you deal with the person doing the work from the first call to the final handover.

    I work in English, Arabic, French, and German.
