Here from an Upwork proposal? Let's keep talking there. Upwork's terms keep the conversation and the payment on the platform, and that protects you too.

Davi's Upwork profile

From spark to code.

We build a clickable prototype of the riskiest part of your product before you sign anything, free for projects from US$ 5k. Then we ship the whole thing in fixed-price milestones you approve one at a time.

Based in Brazil (UTC−3), working with US and European hours.

Technologies we work with: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, GraphQL, Tailwind CSS, Figma, TensorFlow, Go, Rust, Terraform.

Brief in, prototype out.

The whole flow in one loop: you describe the idea and send the brief, Davi sends back a prototype you can click, you try it and approve the first milestone. The same interface care goes into every prototype we build.

A motion study made in-house at Flickode.

See it working before you hire us.

Send a short brief. We build a clickable prototype of the part you're most worried about, free for projects from US$ 5k. If it isn't a fit, you walk away and owe nothing.

  1. Send a short brief

    Four quick steps, including the screen you want to see first.

  2. We build that part

    A clickable prototype of the riskiest screen or flow, on a real URL, with notes on what the full build adds.

  3. Click through it, then decide

    If it fits, we plan fixed-price milestones together. If not, there's no invoice.

Davi reads every brief and replies personally. Even with an AI-assisted workflow, each prototype takes real build time, so we build them for projects we can take on. Under US$ 5k, you get a scoped plan instead: what to build first, what to skip, and what it would cost.

In the real build:this button calls your API and logs who approved it.

What a prototype looks like: a real URL, screens you can click, and notes on what the full build adds.

What we build

Six kinds of work, one standard: production-ready software you can grow on.

  • Custom software

    Software shaped around how your business actually runs, not the other way round.

    You get: internal tools, workflow automation, integrations.

  • SaaS products

    Multi-tenant platforms ready for subscriptions, billing and fast iteration.

    You get: sign-in and roles, billing, admin, analytics.

  • Web and mobile apps

    Responsive web apps and native mobile apps that people enjoy using.

    You get: React, Next.js and React Native builds.

  • AI and automation

    AI features and automated workflows that take real work off your team.

    You get: LLM features, agents, data pipelines.

  • Cloud architecture

    Infrastructure that scales with demand and keeps costs under control.

    You get: AWS, GCP or Azure setups, CI/CD, monitoring.

  • UI/UX design

    Interfaces researched and designed to be understood at first glance.

    You get: research, prototypes, design systems.

How a project runs

Five steps on one branch. You always know what comes next and what it costs.

  1. 01 prototype

    A free prototype of the riskiest part

    For projects from US$ 5k. Clickable, on a real URL, with notes on what the full build adds.

  2. 02 blueprint

    A plan with a fixed price per milestone

    Architecture, stack and milestones scoped with you. Each milestone has its own fixed price.

  3. 03 build

    Weekly demos, not status reports

    Short sprints with a working demo every week, so you see progress with your own eyes.

  4. 04 review

    You approve every milestone

    Review the pull request and the docs, then approve. Fixes inside a milestone are on us.

  5. 05 launch

    Launch, then keep improving

    We deploy, monitor and iterate with real usage data.

What changes when you work with us

how-we-work.diff− usual + ours
  1. The usual way: Weeks of calls before you see a single screen
  2. How we work: A working prototype first, free for qualified projects
  3. The usual way: One big quote that quietly grows
  4. How we work: A fixed price for each milestone
  5. The usual way: Approving work you can't inspect
  6. How we work: You review the code and docs before approving each milestone
  7. The usual way: Fixes billed as change requests
  8. How we work: Fixes inside a milestone are included
  9. The usual way: Hand-offs across a ten-hour time difference
  10. How we work: A working day that overlaps with the US and Europe

Who you'll work with

“I'd rather show you than pitch you. That's why every project I take on starts with something you can click, and why you work with me directly from the first brief.”

Davi LauritzenFounder and CEO, Flickode

Before you ask

Is the prototype really free?

Yes, for projects from US$ 5k. It's how we show you how we work instead of telling you. If you don't go ahead, you owe nothing.

How can you afford to build it for free?

Our AI-assisted workflow lets us build a focused prototype in days, not weeks. We only need a clear brief and the screen you care about most.

What exactly do I get?

A clickable prototype of the screen or flow you're most worried about, on a live URL, with notes on what the full build adds.

How does pricing work?

After the prototype we split the project into milestones, each with a fixed price. You approve each milestone after reviewing the pull request and the docs, and fixes inside a milestone are included.

Who owns the code?

You do. The code and docs for every milestone you've paid for are yours.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. Mention it in your brief, without confidential details, and we'll sign it before you share the specifics.

Do you work with teams outside Brazil?

Yes. We work in English and Portuguese, and our day overlaps with US and European working hours.

I found you on Upwork. Can we talk here instead?

Let's keep it on Upwork. Upwork's terms require it for clients who find us there, and its payment protection covers you too. Everything on this page works the same there.

Let's build something bold.

Four quick steps, about two minutes. Your brief goes straight to Davi's inbox.

What worries you most about the build?

Budget and timing

Free prototypes are for projects from US$ 5k. Under that, we reply with a scoped plan: what to build first, what to skip, and what it would cost.
