One developer,
end-to-end ownership

I'm Dorian Kestrel — the designer and engineer behind Kestrelbyte Freelance Lab. For eight years I've helped startups, retailers and SaaS teams turn rough ideas into fast, accessible, revenue-driving websites.

Why clients hire the lab

Agencies hand you between account managers, designers and contractors. Here you talk to the person doing the work — from first sketch to launch day and beyond.

  • Research-first: every build starts with user evidence, not assumptions.
  • Design and code from one brain — nothing lost in handoff.
  • Performance budgets and accessibility checks on every project.
  • Honest timelines, weekly demos, and documentation you keep.
8+Years shipping for clients worldwide
120+Projects launched across retail, SaaS and fintech
100+Happy clients on four continents

How I work

Small, senior and async-friendly. You'll always know what's happening, what's next, and what it costs.

  • Fixed-scope proposals with milestones — no hourly meter-running.
  • Weekly video walkthroughs plus a shared board you can check anytime.
  • Launch support and a 30-day fix window included in every build.
