Dedicated Development Team — senior AI engineers, lean, US-grade, India-based

A dedicated development team is a stable pod of engineers who work only on your product, giving you the economics of an in-house team without the hiring. Mine come with one clear advantage: globally competitive pricing. You get senior, US-grade engineers led personally by me, at a fraction of what a US agency charges, so your budget buys more capacity, not more overhead. I restructured a 20-person engineering department into a focused team of 7 while increasing delivery speed, and that lean-pod discipline is exactly what you hire: 2 to 4 senior full-stack engineers, no juniors billed as seniors, no project-manager tax.

Senior pods from $4,900/mo, globally priced

How the pod works

You get a fixed monthly price for a pod: 2 to 4 senior engineers plus me as architect. Weekly demos, direct Slack access, your repos, your cloud. Scale the pod up or down month to month. Every engineer is cross-trained across full-stack and DevOps, the same cross-training that let me run production infrastructure without a separate DevOps function.

Why not a big outsourcing vendor?

You've read the horror stories: rotating juniors, layers of project managers, ten people billed to do the work of two. The lean model is the opposite, and it's documented in my own numbers. I took a 20-person department down to a cross-functional team of 7 and kept delivery velocity up. Small senior teams beat large mixed teams on nearly every metric a startup cares about, and priced globally, they cost far less than an equivalent US agency team.

FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask on a 20-minute call.

How much does a dedicated development team cost?+

My pods run about $4,900 to $11,900 a month for 2 to 4 senior engineers with an architect. That's globally competitive pricing: senior, US-grade delivery at a fraction of what a US agency charges ($25K-$60K/month) for equivalent seniority, because you pay for world-class engineers directly, not agency overhead.

How is this different from hiring freelancers?+

Freelancers are individuals with their own queue. A pod is a stable team with shared context, led by an accountable architect (me), with continuity guarantees and weekly demos. You manage outcomes, not people.

Can I hire AI developers individually instead of a pod?+

Yes. For a single specialist need you can hire AI developers one at a time from the same senior bench, though a pod with an accountable architect outperforms individual placements on delivery speed for product work.

What timezone overlap do you offer?+

India-based with guaranteed 4+ hours of US-East overlap daily and full overlap with UK/EU. Async-first: weekly demo videos, written decision logs, and same-day Slack responses.
