End-to-end type safety. Not just .ts file extensions.

The local read
Why hiring a typescript developer in Boston is hard
Boston founders have access to the best deep-tech talent in the country and almost none of it is hireable at seed stage. Biotechs pay above market for ML engineers. Cambridge robotics shops pay close to that for ROS 2 specialists. The local agency option is mostly enterprise consulting with multi-quarter contracts.
We're not enterprise consulting. One senior engineer owns the build, Eastern Time, overlap with your MIT advisors and Boston-based investors. FHIR or HL7 for healthtech. PyTorch and Hugging Face for ML features. Next.js for the SaaS layer. Flat-price quote in 24 hours. Code in your GitHub from commit one.
A senior typescript developer here is a ~$363K year-one outlay after benefits, payroll tax, and the 60–90 day search. We're a $6,000+ flat engagement that starts inside seven days.

Why this beats a hire
One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.
One senior typescript developer plus AI agents now ships what four engineers used to. Same code quality, half the cost, three-week timelines instead of three months. Built for pre-seed to Series A founders in Boston who need to ship before the next round closes.

The work, concretely
What we'd own day to day
The same scope you'd hand to a salaried typescript developer, owned end to end on a flat-price engagement. No coordination overhead, no junior-on-the-bench, no estimation theatre.
- Strict-mode TS with no implicit any, no @ts-ignore creep
- Schema-first runtime validation (Zod) wired to compile-time types
- Shared types between frontend and backend via tRPC or generated clients
- Domain types modeled with discriminated unions — illegal states unrepresentable
- CI checks that fail on type regressions, not just runtime errors
Stack we use
Defaults — we deviate when the project demands it, not because something is fashionable.
