MVP in just 1–4 weeks.

One engineer, 8 years of shipping products. I build complex web services, Telegram bots, trading systems and AI agents, fast: from idea to a working product.

What I do

Full cycle: architecture, build, deploy and handover. The stack fits the task, not the other way around.

S01

Web services

Full web products: frontend, backend, databases and integrations. Idea to production.

S02

Telegram bots & Mini Apps

Bots, mini apps and payment flows inside Telegram.

S03

AI agents, RAG & Eval

Autonomous agents, retrieval over your data and eval. Predictable AI quality.

S04

Solidity smart contracts

Web3 / dApps: Solidity smart contracts, deployment and front-end integration.

S05

ML pipelines

Data collection, processing and inference. Prototype to production.

S06

Trading systems

Bots, backtesting, strategy execution and smart-contract work.

02 / 11

Process

Transparent and structured. Minimal effort from you, I handle the rest.

01

Request & call

We scope the idea, timeline and what the MVP includes.

02

Domain & email

You register the domain and create a tech@domain inbox. That's all that's needed from you.

Your step
03

I wire it up

I register and configure every service and the infrastructure via that tech@ inbox.

04

Build

I build the MVP in 1–4 weeks, with regular demos and access to progress.

05

Launch & handover

Deploy, docs and full access to every account, all under your email.

One step on your side. You only register a domain and create a tech@domain inbox. Every account, key and service is set up under that email, so you own the whole infrastructure from day one.

Week by week

What those 1–4 weeks actually look like

"You can't build it properly in 4 weeks" — the usual objection. So here's the concrete timeline.

W1
W2
W3
W4
01W1

Scope & architecture

We lock the scope, design the architecture and data model, and stand up the infrastructure.

02W2–3

Build

Core development. A demo every couple of days — you see real progress and steer it as we go, no surprises at the end.

Demo every ~2 days
03W4

Polish, deploy, handover

Polish, testing, deploy and full handover: every account, the docs and the code, all under your email.

WHY SO FAST

8 years of patterns + an AI-driven workflow. I design the system and make the calls — what to build, where to cut scope, where the AI lies; Claude Code speeds up the routine. Weeks of mechanical work compress into days — the quality stays on me.

Simple MVP is the same plan, compressed. A simple project fits W1–W2: same phases, shorter build. The scope is fixed up front, so the timeline is a commitment, not a guess.

AI / FDE

Forward Deployed Engineering: AI built into the product, not bolted on.

A special focus: AI / FDE expertise. I don't just plug a model in, I design agents, retrieval and evaluation so they behave predictably in production.

A1

AI agents in the product

Autonomous flows, tools and integrations that take real actions.

A2

RAG systems

Retrieval over your data: chunking, indexing, relevance, citations.

A3

Eval & observability

Test sets, metrics and regressions to see quality in numbers.

A4

Deployed to your context

I step into your context, learn the domain and take the AI feature to a result.

The founder

DMITRY_SMIRNOVDmitry Smirnov01 / 01

Behind DMK.WORKS is Dmitry Smirnov, a developer with 8 years of shipping products. He has launched 4 projects solo, each taken from idea to live users.

I specialize in rapid web service development, plus Telegram bots, mini apps, trading systems, ML pipelines and AI-agent integration with RAG and eval.

You work directly with the engineer who makes the decisions and writes the code. No layers, no account managers, nothing lost in translation.

Almost free to run. Prices are approximate and depend on load. Most of the stack is self-hosted on a single VPS, so it scales at minimal extra cost — and every account stays under your email.

FAQ

Common questions before we start.

The minimum: register a domain and create a tech@yourdomain inbox. From there I register and configure every service, key and piece of infrastructure through that email, and you stay the owner of everything.
Through experience shipping 4 solo projects, reusable patterns and heavy use of LLMs in development. Scope is fixed up front, so the timeline is realistic.
I do, personally. DMK.WORKS is a one-engineer studio: you talk and work directly with the person who designs and builds the product.
You do. Everything is set up under your tech@ email and your domain, and the code is handed over in full. After completion you're independent of me.
Yes. After launch we can arrange improvements, new modules or support as a separate format.
