Available for new projects
Hi, I'm Alexander Safonov, Product Builder and Lead Product Designer with a design background from British Higher School of Art and Design. For the last fifteen years, I have created digital products for technology companies. Today I help founders turn their ideas into full digital services using modern AI tools.
Roles
Product Builder, AI-Developer, Lead Product & Multidisciplinary Designer
Segments
Event Tech, SaaS, AI, E-com, Web 3.0 & Blockchain, Builders, Telegram Web Apps
Tools
A Product Builder is a specialist who covers the entire cycle of creating a digital product and combines 3 roles at once: Product Manager, Product Designer, and Full-Stack Engineer. Instead of coordinating multiple contractors, you work with one expert accountable for the entire outcome. This approach significantly reduces development and business hypothesis testing costs.
One expert with modern AI agents can handle the tasks of several specialists. At the same time, the cost of AI tools is lower than maintaining a full team. This approach helps cut the budget and test an idea without major upfront investment.
Unlike no-code builders such as Tilda, Taptop, Webflow, or Framer, AI-assisted development delivers real software engineering. You receive scalable production code without platform limitations on features, integrations, or future growth.
Coding with advanced AI agents is faster than a full development team of several people. We not only save time on communication, but also minimize the human factor.
Risk assessment, requirements alignment, and service package definition
User flow planning and interface composition
Code generation with advanced AI models
Manual testing, security audit, and code review
Production release and complete handover of access and assets
I help prepare a product for an investor pitch or an interim presentation. I define priority features and build an interactive prototype — the first clickable version of the product without a backend — to clearly showcase the idea.
I help you quickly validate an idea with real users: I guide you through every launch stage — from MVP development to VPS deployment. You get a product tailored to customer needs that can be maintained and evolved.
A product lifecycle does not end with launching an MVP. To attract new users and retain existing ones, you need continuous growth, new feature design, and ongoing technical support.
UX audit and interface redesign for an existing product. Introducing modern AI patterns, refactoring UI components, and preparing the codebase for scaling. The goal is to make the product easier to use and increase user satisfaction.

QR adoption among SMBs continues to grow, while the local market lacked a modern dynamic QR product compliant with 152-FZ and local payment requirements. We built a full SaaS platform with multiple dynamic QR types, deep customization, analytics, and an admin panel.
$3,000 / month
Suitable for building new products and improving functionality in existing projects when predictable budget load is important.
This plan covers product development, while ongoing monthly technical support after launch is billed separately as needed by agreement. Additional feature development is billed separately at a reduced hourly rate.
$55 / hour
Suitable for building new products and improving functionality in existing projects when the final scope is clear and relatively small.
Before work starts, you receive an hour-based estimate with a 20% contingency for unforeseen risks included upfront. This keeps the initial and final cost predictable, without hidden surprises.
Negotiable
Suitable when you have a fixed budget and need to deliver the maximum amount of code within it.
At the start, we lock the exact scope that the cost estimate will be based on. This option requires a 50% prepayment of the development cost. Another 25% is paid after half of the agreed scope is completed. The remaining 25% is paid on final delivery.
All pricing options include taxes and the cost of advanced AI tools. Offers are not a public offer.
Security is a top priority. For critical flows such as authentication and user data access, I rely on proven and regularly updated open-source libraries that follow security standards and legal requirements. The entire codebase also goes through repeated audits by leading specialized AI agents to identify security vulnerabilities.
I use up-to-date AI models and agents to reduce defects from the earliest stage. In addition, planning, documentation, code reviews, automated tests, and manual interface testing keep defect rates comparable to a standard development team.
AI can write code, but it does not replace product decisions. A Product Builder thinks through product logic and user flows, defines priority features, and takes responsibility for interface usability. Experience in building digital products helps set precise tasks for AI and evaluate the output. In this setup, AI accelerates the work while the specialist directs it and controls quality.
Yes. I use widely adopted technologies: React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Node.js. A developer familiar with this stack can continue the work after reviewing the architecture and codebase. Along with the project, you receive available documentation describing how components and systems are structured.
Rights to the code created for you are transferred under the terms of the agreement. Upon project completion, you receive access to the GitHub repository and the source code. Repository access alone does not replace legal documentation of IP transfer. An NDA can be signed if necessary; license terms for third-party libraries still apply.
AI-assisted development is well suited for a fast, cost-efficient business launch or hypothesis testing, where the codebase is either non-existent or still small. Right now, even the most advanced AI models are limited by their context window — the working memory of information an AI can hold before it starts hallucinating and writing poor code. For this reason, products with high-risk security, complex enterprise regulations without an architecture phase, or massive codebases are poorly suited for AI-only development. However, that does not mean engineers avoid AI on such projects, or that the context window limitation won't be solved in a few years.
Zero-code tools and website builders like Tilda, Taptop, Webflow, or Framer are useful for websites and landing pages, but they are not software development platforms. Moreover, building a separate website in a builder is unnecessary since both the product and its website can be built with AI.
If your product will be distributed in Russia, a technology stack will be selected that fully complies with all current legislation so as not to violate restrictions on cross-border transfer of Russian citizens' personal data.
