Michael Claudiu
SaaS Founder & Technical Consultant
Based in New York. I build and operate SaaS products — DOBGuard, NYC Housing Lottery, NYC Ticket Lookup, 123CreditBoost — live platforms with paying subscribers, built and run end-to-end without an agency layer.
When I take on client work, I bring the same approach: real engineering, clear scope, and production-grade delivery. I don't subcontract. Every project is built by me.
What I Build
SaaS Products
I design, build, and operate subscription software from scratch. That means architecture decisions, billing infrastructure, user management, admin dashboards, automated data pipelines — the full stack. My four live products have paying subscribers and run without third-party management.
AI Automation Systems
Custom AI workflows built for real operational needs — document processing, dispute letter generation, alert systems, lead routing, civic data monitoring. I integrate OpenAI, Twilio, Stripe, and proprietary APIs into production-grade systems, not demos.
Custom Software for Businesses
When businesses have a real problem that off-the-shelf tools won't solve, I build the custom solution. Compliance tracking, real-time monitoring platforms, booking systems, internal dashboards — scoped properly and delivered end-to-end.
Who I Work With
- Founders building SaaS or data products who need an engineer who can own the full stack, not just execute tickets
- Businesses with operational complexity — compliance, real-time monitoring, multi-system integrations — where generic solutions fail
- Technical teams that need a senior voice for architecture decisions, stack selection, or fractional CTO-level input
- Established businesses scaling past manual workflows that need AI or automation to handle what humans used to do by hand
Industries: real estate compliance, financial services, housing, fleet management, e-commerce, professional services.
How I Work
- Discovery — We define exactly what needs to be built and why
- Scoped Proposal — Fixed price, clear deliverables, no surprises
- Build & Review — I ship in milestones so you see progress before it's done
- Launch & Support — Go live with confidence, ongoing support available

How I Think
I've built products that run themselves — subscription platforms, alert systems, automated pipelines. That kind of engineering demands reliability over cleverness. The best system is the one that keeps working at 3am without anyone watching it.
I'm selective with client work because I take it seriously. I don't outsource, I don't use templates, and I don't pitch features I can't execute. If I'm not the right fit for a project, I'll say so.

Let's Talk
If you have a real problem that needs a real system, book a 30-minute strategy call. No commitment — just a direct conversation about what you need and whether I'm the right person to build it.
