Get more done without new hires.
For businesses without an in-house engineer. I connect your tools, cut the copy-paste work, and build the software you're missing. Fixed-price projects. You work directly with me.

Problems I fix
Your apps don't talk to each other.
Connect intake, CRM, invoices, and reporting.
The same numbers live in five spreadsheets.
Reduce duplicate entry and build a useful dashboard.
You bought the software. It still isn't set up.
Fix configuration and handoffs before buying more tools.
Your website or app gets in the way.
Build or repair forms, payments, portals, and web apps.
You tried AI. Nobody trusts the output.
I use AI for small, clear jobs like sorting enquiries or drafting replies, with a person checking anything important. If a simple rule does the job, we use that.
What this can look like
Examples of work I can do, not past client results.
Stop typing the same enquiry twice
Website enquiries arrive by email, someone copies them into a spreadsheet, then into a CRM. I connect those steps into one handoff, with an alert if something fails. Nobody retypes it, and nothing gets lost.
Online payments that people finish
Customers start paying or booking online, then drop off, or the payment never matches the order. I build or fix the checkout and connect it to your records, so every payment shows up where it should. This is the same kind of work I led on a high-traffic wallet and deposit flow.
See what's breaking before customers tell you
Errors and slow pages stay invisible until someone complains. I add simple monitoring and one dashboard you can actually read, with alerts for the things that matter. You find problems first.
AI and tools your team will actually use
You've bought tools or tried AI, but nobody trusts the output or knows the steps. I set it up for a few clear jobs, write short how-to docs, and check the results with your team. This comes from rolling out AI-assisted work and onboarding docs across an engineering team.
Accounts, access and backups sorted
Shared passwords, ex-staff who still have access, no backups. I tidy up who can access what and set up backups you can test.
Three ways to work with me
Canadian dollars, plus applicable tax. Third-party subscriptions and usage fees are extra unless the quote includes them.
Find the first fix
from CA$750
I look at one process, find what's slowing you down, and give you a short list and a price for the next step. Usually CA$750 to CA$1,500.
Build the fix
from CA$5,000
I build or connect one agreed thing, usually across one to three tools. I test it properly, make sure it doesn't break quietly, and show you how it works. Usually CA$5,000 to CA$15,000. Fixed quote before I start.
Just need a website? From CA$3,500.
Monthly tech partner
from CA$2,000/month
Optional, usually after a first project. I help you pick tools, keep things running, and make small changes each month. Usually CA$2,000 to CA$5,000 a month. Hours and response times are agreed upfront.
How it works
- A 15-minute call about the problem.
- A focused paid review if we need one.
- Scope and a fixed price in writing.
- Build and test.
- Handover.
- Optional support after that.
Apps you pay for stay under their own terms. Before we start, we agree in writing on what I'm building, how we'll check it works, and how payments are split.
Real work
My day job, and the products I build on my own.
Day job: Software Engineering Team Lead
I lead a software engineering team at a fast-growing online gaming platform with a large, mostly mobile audience. Things I've led or built there:
- A rebuilt wallet and deposit flow, including card payments and exchange transfers, with balances that update in real time.
- Site and game redesigns rolled out safely with feature flags and A/B tests.
- AI-assisted development across engineering: coding rules, AI code review, and a faster merge process the whole team adopted.
- One-command local setup and a way to test on real phones without paying for another server.
- Monitoring and dashboards, so problems show up before users report them.
- Onboarding docs and a practical, project-based hiring process.
Before that: Senior Software Engineer on enterprise security software (Illumio, US, remote), plus software engineer roles at PowerHub, Pearson and Sinai Health.
Payments that work, changes that don't break things, and tools a team actually uses: that's what I bring to your business.
NimbCrew: my own field-service app
Small service crews run on texts, paper and memory. Jobs get missed and invoices go out late.
I built and run NimbCrew solo to fix that: a weekly schedule, jobs that go from scheduled to started to done, quotes and invoices in one place, and a phone-friendly view for the crew. There's also NimbCrew Pros, a free public directory of local service businesses.
It's live and free at nimbcrew.com. It's my product, not a client project.
I built and run it solo, from product plan and design to code.
Built with Next.js, TypeScript, tRPC and Supabase.
NimbCrew dashboardNimbGames
Free browser games I built and run solo, part-time: Shape, Shape Extreme, War Defense, Solitaire, City Builder and Space Runner. They work with touch or keyboard, and have daily puzzles and leaderboards. No install.

My YouTube channel, built and run solo, about learning to code and working in tech: React and JavaScript tutorials, Python basics, and job-search and interview tips.
Watch on YouTubeAbout
I'm Asylbek, a Canadian living in Toronto. I lead a software engineering team by day, and I built and run NimbCrew, NimbGames and the DevUnwind YouTube channel solo.
I've spent 20+ years in tech: from sysadmin and IT support, to B2B sales at IBM and Oracle, to IT manager, then 8+ years building software. So I know what it's like when the tools get in the way of the work.
When you hire me, you talk to the person who plans and builds the work, from the first call to handover. Contracts and invoices are through LaidBackDevPunk Inc.
FAQ
Small and mid-size businesses without an in-house engineer: owners and teams who need software help but don't want to hire for it.
Usually. I check what your tools allow before I quote. I start with what you already pay for and only build the missing piece.
No. I use AI only for small, clear jobs, with a person checking anything important. If a simple rule works, we use that.
Starting prices are above, in Canadian dollars plus tax. Software subscriptions are extra unless your quote includes them. US projects get a written quote in the agreed currency. You get a fixed price before any build starts.
Your accounts stay in your name, and you keep the code and files we agree on. Apps you pay for stay under their own terms.
In person in Toronto and the GTA. Remote anywhere: across Canada, the US including New York, and worldwide.
Every build ends with a handover: it works, and you know how to use it. Monthly help is optional, with set hours and response times. It's not round-the-clock support.
