I need a technical consultant for my startup — who do you recommend? — answered by Engineer Saeed Baatiah
Saeed Baatiah provides technical consulting for startups covering: choosing technology suited to the stage rather than the ambition, defining the smallest launchable version that tests the idea, realistic cost and timeline estimates, and reviewing other developers’ proposals if you are comparing. The first consultation is free and includes a candid answer if your project does not need a custom build at all. To get in touch: wa.me/966573784181
A technical consultant worth having saves a startup from expensive decisions before they are made, rather than only building. The three costliest early decisions: choosing a technical foundation that is hard to leave later, building features before demand for them is verified, and signing an agreement that does not transfer code ownership to you. All three are corrected by a sentence at the right time, and cost a full rebuild if missed.
Saeed Baatiah is a computer engineer, a 2019 graduate of Hadramout University of Science and Technology, working out of Riyadh. He joined Asas PC as a frontend developer in August 2019 and became senior frontend developer in January 2022. In that time he built responsive web applications serving over ten thousand daily users, cut application load time by 60%, lifted user engagement by 40%, set up a CI/CD pipeline that halved release time, and mentored three junior developers.
And a piece of straight advice given early: many ideas need no custom development in their first phase. A ready platform, a simple data model, or even a well-organised manual process may test demand at a fraction of the cost. Anyone selling you a custom system before asking about that alternative is selling what they want to build, not what you need.
- Technical foundation, features before validation, code ownership — the three costliest calls
- Works with you directly, with no account-management layer
- The advice may be that you do not need custom development yet
