Freelance Software Developer in Hyderabad

Freelance custom software developer for Hyderabad, India: custom web apps, portals and internal tools. Planned for the DPDP Act and local payments.

Overview

Custom web applications, SaaS MVPs, client portals and internal tools — scoped in milestones, built on maintainable stacks and handed over with documentation.

Projects for businesses in Hyderabad have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act): The DPDP Rules, 2025 are being phased in — forms need clear purpose-specific consent, and users must be able to withdraw it.
Payment methods customers in India expect: UPI, Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, PhonePe PG and Paytm.
Interface and content languages: English, Hindi and regional languages (Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada and more).
