COO & Design Lead, Wolfpixel, with a senior team behind me
The development problems Estonian founders bring to me
Estonia is digital by default. Users expect products to be as smooth as their state services.
Problem 01
Users expect digital identity
In Estonia people sign in and sign documents with Smart-ID, Mobile-ID or their ID card, and expect your product to support it.
Problem 02
Three languages in one product
Estonian, Russian and English users all expect the product in their language, with correct formats.
Problem 03
GDPR from day one
As an EU company you need privacy built into the architecture, not patched on before an audit.
Problem 04
A small team, a big roadmap
Estonian startups run lean. Hiring senior front-end developers locally is slow and competitive.
What you get when my team builds your web app
Front ends built for Estonian users and EU rules.
Smart-ID and Mobile-ID sign-in
Login and signing journeys integrated through your identity provider, with clear states for every step.
Multilingual apps
Estonian, Russian and English with proper formats for dates, numbers and currency.
GDPR by design
Consent, data minimisation, access and deletion built into the app's structure.
EU hosting
Deployment in EU regions, with edge delivery so the app is fast across Europe.
Your design system in code
Reusable React components that match the design, documented for your team.
Tests and a clean handover
Readable code, sensible tests and a walkthrough for your developers.

What founders say about working with me
Working with Jubayer and the team has been a blast. Their creativity has honestly taken our platform to new heights. Incredibly professional and so proud to work with, we’re over the moon with their results, and we can’t wait to team up with them again.
It’s great that I can work with just Wolfpixel to get every aspect of what I need completed.
I highly recommend Jubayer for any design project. He quickly grasps complex concepts, excels in standard design practices, and responds promptly.
Working with Jubayer on our website was fantastic from start to finish. He took the time to understand our vision and provided valuable insights.

Development in Tallinn: frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what founders ask before they start.
How much does web development cost in Estonia?
The first step is a $1,500 trial week, about EUR 1,320: one working feature in your codebase, reviewed by your team. Compared with a Tallinn hire it is far quicker to start, and the fixed quote that follows covers the rest.
Can you integrate Smart-ID and Mobile-ID?
Yes. We build sign-in and signing journeys through your identity provider, with clear states for pending, approved and failed steps.
Can you build in Estonian, Russian and English?
Yes. We set up internationalisation from the start, with correct formats for dates, numbers and currency in each language.
How do you handle GDPR?
We build privacy into the structure: collect only what is needed, record consent, and support access and deletion requests. Your data protection lead confirms the policies.
We are an e-Residency company. Does that change anything?
Not for the build. We work with founders wherever they live, and plan hosting and data handling for an EU company.
When is my team online for Tallinn?
Dhaka is three hours ahead of Tallinn in summer and four in winter. Your morning is our afternoon, 7 hours of your day, which is when we review pull requests together.
Can you build digital signing into our app?
Yes. Alongside sign-in, we build document signing flows with Smart-ID and Mobile-ID through your provider, with a clear status for every signer.
How do we start the build?
Book a free 30 minute call in Tallinn time. Give my team access to a branch, and the trial week delivers one working feature, often the Smart-ID sign-in, through a pull request you review.
