I'm Shakeera. I built PayAnchor, a paycheck first budgeting app, on my own and shipped it to the App Store and Google Play. This is where I share what I'm building, what I'm figuring out, and how we can work together.

About
Still building.
Still learning.
I spent 7 years in healthcare, where nothing works unless the process works. That habit followed me into building.
PayAnchor started as a problem I kept seeing: people paid weekly, biweekly, or semi monthly trying to use budgeting apps built around the calendar month. So I built one around the paycheck instead. Solo, while working full time, and shipped to both app stores.
I'm open to part time and contract work with founders and teams who need someone who can plan a product, build it, and get it out the door.

Ways we can
work together.
I'm open to part time and contract work, and I take on fixed scope projects too. Not sure which fits? Start with a Clarity Call.

- Website revamp
- Website build
Part time or contract
Need someone on your team for a few months, or a few hours a week? I can own a product from planning to launch, the same way I took PayAnchor from idea to both app stores.

FAQ
Questions you
probably have.
How does the process work?
For project work, fill out the contact form and I come back within 24 hours with a scoped proposal and a clear quote, written for your situation. For part time or contract work, reach out through the same form and we set up a time to talk through the role. Not sure which you need? Start with a Clarity Call.
Do you require a deposit?
For project work, yes. A 25% deposit is required before work begins. The remaining 75% is due upon completion before final deliverables are transferred. This protects both of us. Part time and contract work is billed on terms we agree on together.
How long does it take?
For fixed scope projects: a Product Strategy Audit takes about a week, a Creator Storefront 1 to 2 weeks, a Website Revamp 2 to 3 weeks, and a Website Build 4 to 6 weeks. I build around a full time role, so before we start I confirm a real delivery date with you based on what’s actually on my plate that month.
For part time or contract work, we agree on hours and cadence up front, whether that’s a few hours a week or owning a product for a few months.
Do you work with clients outside of Dallas?
Yes. All my work is done remotely, so I work with clients and teams anywhere.
What if I am not sure what I need?
Book a Clarity Call. That is exactly what it is for. We figure out what you need together and you leave with a clear next step.
Can I see more of your work?
PayAnchor at payanchor.app is my primary case study. A fintech app built solo while working full time. More case studies are coming as client work is completed.
