New York Software Engineering FAQ

Direct answers for New York founders, CTOs, and agencies looking to hire a senior software engineer.

How does hiring a freelance software engineer compare to NYC agency rates? ▼
New York digital agencies typically bill $200–$350/hour to cover expensive Midtown Manhattan leases, account managers, and executive salaries, frequently passing code execution to junior engineers. Working directly with Umer Malik gives you senior architectural expertise at transparent, value-driven rates with direct communication.
Are you available for remote collaboration aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST)? ▼
Yes. Development workflows and daily updates are fully synchronized with US Eastern Standard Time (EST), with real-time Slack, WhatsApp, and Microsoft Teams availability during your business hours.
How do you handle intellectual property ownership and confidentiality under US commercial standards? ▼
You own 100% of all intellectual property, source code repositories, design assets, and database schemas upon milestone payment completion. We operate under mutual NDA confidentiality and standard US commercial agreement terms.
What is the typical kickoff timeline for a New York project? ▼
Following initial scope alignment and architecture signoff, project setup begins within 24 to 48 hours. Staging environments and private Git repositories are provisioned immediately with active daily commits.
Which cloud infrastructure platforms do you support for US deployments? ▼
We deploy and manage infrastructure across AWS US-East (N. Virginia us-east-1 / Ohio us-east-2), Google Cloud (us-east1 / us-central1), DigitalOcean NYC data centers, and Cloudflare edge networks.
