Hire an AI developer from India who works your hours
I’m based in Delhi and work remotely with clients in the US, Japan, Australia and India. I overlap US working hours, my English is certified C2, and I contract through Upwork or directly, so hiring offshore does not have to mean slow replies or lost context.
- Overlaps US working hours
- English C2 Proficient (EF SET)
- Clients in US, Japan, Australia
Time zones without the overnight lag
The usual worry with an offshore developer is the overnight gap: you ask a question, wait a day, get half an answer. I organise my day to overlap US working hours, so calls, quick decisions and urgent fixes happen while you are online. Work that does not need you happens outside that window, so progress can already be waiting when your day starts.
Communication you do not have to decode
I hold an EF SET English Certificate at C2 Proficient (73/100). In practice that means specs, status updates and bug write-ups you can forward to your team without rewriting. When I inherit a codebase, I reproduce a bug, isolate it and write up the cause before fixing it, so you always know what changed and why. Weekly demos on real data replace long status reports.
Clients across four countries
I have supported 13+ businesses across the US, Japan, Australia and India. In the US that includes a sales operations portal for PowerSmith Energy, a veteran-owned solar company in San Diego; Python automation and data pipelines for Axiom Realty Solutions in Chicago; and voice AI agents and a lead-qualifying assistant for California businesses. I am used to async handovers and to clients many hours away.
Lower cost, same standard, simple contracts
Rates start from $20/hour, with fixed-price quotes for defined projects. The lower cost comes from where I live, not from cutting corners: a 100% Job Success record on Upwork across 11 jobs, a proctored Claude Certified Developer – Foundations credential (896/1000), and production systems with real test suites behind them. Contracting is straightforward:
- Upwork — milestones and payments handled on the platform
- Direct — a contract with Charyx Labs, my studio, with a written scope
- Either way — a free intro call first, and nothing starts before the scope is agreed
Rates from $20/hour
Hourly for open-ended work, fixed price for defined projects. The first call is free and there's no obligation.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work during US business hours?
Yes. I overlap US working hours for calls, reviews and urgent fixes, and I work with clients in San Diego, Chicago and elsewhere in California. Tell me your time zone on the intro call and we will agree a regular meeting slot that suits you.
How do contracts and payments work with a developer in India?
You can hire me through Upwork, where the contract and payments run on the platform, or contract directly with Charyx Labs. Rates start from $20/hour, and defined projects can be quoted at a fixed price before work begins.
Is there a language or communication barrier?
No. My English is certified C2 Proficient on the EF SET, and written clarity is part of how I work: scopes, updates and bug write-ups in plain language. One client, in a testimonial published on charyxlabs.tech, described me as “incredibly responsive”.
Why hire from India instead of a local developer?
Mainly cost and coverage. Rates start from $20/hour, and the time difference means work can move forward outside your day as well as during it. The usual concern, weaker communication or quality, is exactly what the proof on this page is meant to answer.
