Gustavo Benito Silva

I've spent 25 years building software — most of them as a solo developer, shipping production systems end to end and answering for every line myself. That craft is now DoTheCode, the studio I founded to focus on the work I do best: multi-tenant SaaS, built to last years rather than to demo well for a week.

I design tenant isolation, licensing, and entitlement systems the right way — a capabilities layer backed by data, running fully server-side — so a product scales across customers without forking codebases or leaking data between tenants. Backend in Django and Django REST Framework, web in React and SvelteKit, mobile in React Native or svelteKit with capacitor. One engineer owning the whole stack, or a small senior team when the scope calls for it.

What sets my work apart is discipline. I apply test-driven development where it actually matters — payments, multi-tenancy, access control — and enforce architecture rules through tooling (linters, tests, pre-commit hooks) instead of hoping documentation gets read. The result is code that's still maintainable two years in, not a prototype that buckles under its first real customer.

I typically deliver turnkey products end to end: SaaS platforms, mobile apps with payment integrations, and rescues of legacy systems weighed down by technical debt. You talk directly to the engineer building your product — never an account manager. I work fluently with English- and Spanish-speaking clients.
