About
RushDevs is me, Rushan Saiyed.
When you hire RushDevs, I'm the one who scopes the work, writes the code, and picks up the phone afterwards. There's no account manager in between, and nothing gets handed off to someone you've never spoken to.
I bring in trusted collaborators when a project genuinely needs another pair of hands, but the person you talk to is the person building it.

Background
The story
RushDevs grew out of four years of enterprise engineering: telecom platforms at Bell Canada, AI-powered retail systems at Afresh, and product work at Speer. It also grew out of a simple observation. Plenty of businesses can find someone to write code, but very few can find one person who takes a project from the first conversation all the way to a live product with a working domain, SSL, monitoring and a deployment pipeline.
I work with startups and small teams end to end: scoping the problem, designing the architecture, shipping the product, and running it in production afterwards. The same care that goes into a service handling enterprise traffic goes into a five-page site for a construction subcontractor. Both need to be fast, both need to work on a phone, and both need to keep working after launch.
I also build and run my own products under the same roof. MugUp, ManyMin and EasyReports are live and paid, with Learn Quran on the web and Hayya shipped on iOS. So I carry the same responsibilities I ask clients to trust me with: uptime, billing, support and cloud costs.
Experience
Where I've worked
Client work is backed by day-to-day engineering at companies that run software at scale.

Shipped a greenfield application in React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL, onboarding multiple enterprise customers.

How I work
“Understand the business first. Then build something that keeps working after I hand it over.”
01
Your business comes first
Before writing a line of code I want to know how you actually win work. For a contractor that might mean the site has to load fast on a phone with one bar of signal, because that is where the quote requests come from. For a SaaS team it might mean the data model has to survive the next three features. Those answers change what gets built.
02
I handle the technical admin
I handle the parts most developers hand back to you: domains, DNS, SSL certificates, email routing, deployment pipelines and analytics. You should not need to learn what a nameserver is to get a website online.
03
I stay reachable after launch
Content changes, new pages, broken things, questions. Clients keep working with me because the relationship does not end at the invoice.
