Laravel Developer for US Startups — Remote, Async-Friendly Delivery

Arun Tyagi is a remote Laravel developer based in India working with
US startups and SaaS founders since 2014, offering 4-6 hours of daily
overlap with EST/PST time zones. Projects typically range from $1,500
for MVPs to $15,000+ for full SaaS platforms, with weekly demos and
async-first communication built into every engagement.

If you're a US-based founder or CTO looking for a Laravel developer
who actually shows up for overlap hours and ships on schedule — that's
the exact problem I solve for clients across the US.

I work async-first by default, but every engagement includes scheduled
overlap windows (typically 4-6 hours covering EST or PST mornings) for
live calls, demos, and quick decisions. You're never waiting more than
24 hours for a response.


## Why US Startups Hire Me Specifically

Time zone overlap that actually works — I structure my day to overlap
with US business hours, not the other way around. Most week-1 calls
happen in your morning, my evening.

USD invoicing — straightforward USD pricing, no currency conversion
confusion, Wise/Payoneer/wire transfer accepted.

Startup-speed delivery — weekly builds on a staging URL, not a single
big reveal after 3 months. You see progress every week.

Direct work, no agency layers — you talk to the person writing the
code. No account manager translating your requirements to a developer
you never meet.


## What I Build for US Clients

- SaaS MVPs — Laravel + React/Next.js, built to validate fast and
  scale without a rebuild
- Fintech and payments backends — Stripe integration, secure API
  design, audit-ready architecture 
- Internal tools and admin dashboards — for teams that have outgrown
  spreadsheets and Airtable
- API development — connecting your product to third-party services,
  or exposing your own API for partners
- Legacy Laravel upgrades — bringing older codebases to Laravel 11/12
  safely, with test coverage before refactoring


## How Time Zone Overlap Actually Works

| Your Location | Overlap Window (my evening, your morning/day) |
|---|---|
| EST (New York) | 7:00 AM – 11:00 AM EST |
| CST (Chicago) | 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM CST |
| PST (San Francisco) | 4:00 AM – 8:00 AM PST (or async + 1 evening call/week) |

For PST clients specifically: most communication happens async via
Slack/email, with one scheduled live call per week at a time that
works for both of us.


## Pricing for US Clients (USD)

- MVP / proof of concept: $1,500 – $5,000
- Full SaaS platform: $5,000 – $20,000
- Ongoing development (monthly retainer): $2,000 – $6,000/month
- Legacy Laravel upgrade: $1,500 – $4,000 depending on codebase size

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Do you work US business hours?**
I structure daily overlap windows specifically for US time zones —
typically covering EST/CST mornings, with async communication filling
the rest. PST clients usually work best with one weekly live call
plus async updates.

**How do payments work for US clients?**
I invoice in USD. Most clients pay via Wise or wire transfer.
Milestone-based payments are standard — 30% upfront, remaining tied
to delivery milestones.

**Can you join our existing team and codebase?**
Yes. I regularly join projects mid-flight — I start with a code
audit (no charge) to understand the existing architecture before
estimating new work.

**What's your typical response time?**
Under 24 hours on weekdays, often same-day during overlap hours.

**Do you sign NDAs and US-style contracts?**
Yes, standard for every engagement before any code or business
details are shared.
