Work with me

I don't just build apps. I build the right app.

Most developers will build exactly what you ask for. The problem is, what you ask for isn't always what you need. I'm a product designer and developer rolled into one. I'll understand your goals, design the right solution, and build it. No agency. No committee. Just results.

Let's talk
Kieran Ball at his desk

You've probably been here before

You hire a developer. They build what you described. It works, technically. But the user experience is clunky. The workflow doesn't quite make sense. Users get confused. You end up spending months going back and forth on revisions, paying more than you planned, and still not loving the result.

Or maybe you've hired a design agency and a development agency. Now you're the middleman, translating between two teams who don't really understand each other. The designs look great in Figma but fall apart in production.

That's the gap I fill. I'm one person who does both. Product thinking and execution. Design and development. Strategy and shipping.

Two ways to work together

Whether you need a specific app built or a long-term technology partner, I've got you covered.

App Development

Finally launch that app idea you've been thinking about.

You've got an idea for an app, a tool, or a platform. I'll take it from concept to launch. Not just the code, but the product design, user experience, and architecture too.

What I build:

  • SaaS products with billing, auth, dashboards
  • Internal tools and admin panels
  • CRMs and client management systems
  • Automation platforms and workflow engines
  • Marketplaces and multi-sided platforms
  • Custom business tools of all kinds

I build on modern stacks including Bubble and custom code, and I use AI throughout the process to deliver faster without cutting corners on quality. Every build prioritises scalability and security from day one.

Fractional Technical Partner

Automate your business and free up your time.

Your business is growing but technology is a bottleneck. You know there's a better way to run things, but you don't know where to start. That's where I come in.

On a retainer basis, I'll sit down with you, map out your workflows, find the bottlenecks and time sucks, and then build custom solutions to eliminate them. One by one.

How it works:

  • Audit your current workflows and pain points
  • Design a technology roadmap for your business
  • Build custom mission control dashboards
  • Automate repetitive admin tasks
  • Free up your time for the work that actually matters
  • Iterate month by month as your needs evolve

Think of it like having a technical co-founder, without giving up equity. I become an extension of your team, steadily transforming how your business runs.

Why work with me?

If I'm honest, most of my clients have already been burned by another developer or agency. Here's why the second time around goes differently.

Designer + Developer in one

No more hiring a design agency, then a dev agency, then playing translator between them. I do both. Your product gets built with great UX baked in from the start, not bolted on afterwards.

10+ years of product experience

Product development, design, and management for apps serving tens of thousands of users. I've launched over 20 SaaS products and many more tools, templates, and platforms beyond that. I've seen what works and what doesn't.

I think like a founder

I'm not just a pair of hands. I've built and sold my own products. I co-founded Typoro, built and sold Yep.so, and created Bullet Launch. I understand the business side, not just the technical side.

AI-accelerated delivery

I use AI tools throughout my builds. Not as a gimmick, but to genuinely deliver faster and at higher quality. The same project that might take an agency weeks, I can often turn around in days.

One person, zero overhead

No project managers. No account managers. No junior devs secretly doing the work while a senior takes the meetings. When you hire me, you get me. Every conversation, every decision, every line of code.

Built for scale and security

I don't build throwaway prototypes (unless that's what you need). Every production build is architected to scale and secured properly. Because nothing kills a growing product faster than having to rebuild it from scratch.

Track record

I'm not a developer who learned product. I'm a product person who learned to build. There's a difference.

Users across my products

I built and sold Yep.so, a landing page builder used by thousands. I co-founded Typoro, a LinkedIn writing tool. I created Bullet Launch, a SaaS boilerplate that helps other developers ship faster. I co-founded Create With, a media company with a newsletter, podcast network, and annual conference.

I've spent thousands of hours in the trenches building products, talking to users, iterating on feedback, and figuring out what actually makes software work for real people. That experience goes into everything I build for clients.

I build products people love

My SaaS boilerplate, Bullet Launch, is 5-star rated and loved by 300+ founders. Here's what leading Bubble developers had to say about it.

"This template is incredible. A huge time saver. There's so much value in here, not just the interfaces but the functionality and all the little details which would take tens of hours to do myself. This is a no-brainer purchase for anyone looking to build a SaaS with Bubble."

Neil Pierce

Solopreneur, CIO and NoCode Bubble Developer

"I don't normally use templates, but this one is a thing of beauty. Kieran has thought of everything. It's well-designed and well-structured, and there's no question it will cut daaaaaays off of your build time because all of the basics (and even the non-basics) are already there. Highly recommended!"

Kelly Claus

Pro Bubble Developer and Designer

"There's a huge opportunity to build a micro-SaaS or SaaS that generates $5k to $10k MRR on Bubble. Kieran's the most prolific Bubbler maker + teacher combo and I'm so happy he's sharing a blueprint for others to follow here. Highly recommend Bullet Launch."

"This is awesome! It's not just for beginners, it's for experts too. It will save you hundreds of building hours. I wish i had had this when i was starting out, it's insane value."

@vince_builds

Founder at NoCodeFamily

"Pro Bubble devs should take 5 and look at this Saas boilerplate. Look & feel is best in class. Structurally: Reusables, Workflow efficiency, Naming conventions, Styles. Documentation/Youtube videos is a FREE course in itself."

Matt Roberts

Pro Bubble Developer

"Imma give you a 10/10 for the docs. Really nice Kieran! You're setting a new standard with Bullet Launch."

Gregory John

Buildcamp Founder, Bubble Educator

People love learning from me

I've taught thousands of people to build apps through my Zero To Pro course and coaching. The same clarity and patience goes into every client project.

"Kieran is an absolute genius when it comes to Bubble. He creates apps that you'd have no idea he wasn't coding them. And he's making a course on how to create real actual apps that you can charge for (he does!) with real customers (he has them!) - not just projects to learn."

Cath Raffaele

Founder, Brillup

"Kieran is an awesome Bubble teacher and coach. He is incredibly skilled and regularly launches cool products. He is able to translate complex ideas into actionable exercises for beginners. Definitely take this course!"

David Lobo

No-Code Advisor

"I honestly wasn't expecting much but a few lessons in and I was blown away by the sheer possibilities. Kieran explained everything so clearly it made even complex things seem achievable."

Chad Sakonchick

Entrepreneur

"Powerful tools need powerful teachers. Learning how to use Bubble can feel like climbing a mountain. Kieran makes it feel like a breeze and unlocks its full potential step by step until you unlock yours."

Sarkis Buniatyan

Webflow Developer

"Easily one of the highest ROI purchases I've made in my life. If you're looking for a friendly entry into the Bubbleverse, this course is a no-brainer."

Louis Pereira

Founder, AudioPen

"I started your course in March and am launching with customers this week. People LOVE what we have built."
