The Journey Behind Qelos
A solo developer's mission to make SaaS creation accessible to everyone.
My Story
Hi, I'm David Meir-Levy, the creator of Qelos. With over a decade of experience as a Tech Lead and Senior Developer, I've witnessed a frustrating pattern across the tech industry: talented teams wasting precious time rebuilding the same infrastructure over and over again.
My journey began in web development in 2009, and as I progressed to technical leadership positions, I kept seeing the same story play out. Every new project started with months spent building authentication systems, multi-tenant architectures, database schemas, and admin panels—infrastructure that had been built thousands of times before.
The pattern was maddening: teams would spend 80% of their development time solving these same foundational problems instead of focusing on what made their products unique. By the time they got to their actual product differentiators, they were often behind schedule, over budget, and exhausted.
Qelos was born from this frustration. After years of watching teams struggle with the same challenges, I decided to create a solution that would eliminate this wasteful cycle. My expertise in TypeScript, JavaScript, Vue.js, Node.js, and MongoDB has informed every aspect of Qelos's architecture.
Today, Qelos represents my vision of liberating development teams from repetitive infrastructure work. It provides the multi-tenant foundation, authentication, database connections, and admin interfaces out of the box, so teams can immediately focus on building what matters—the unique features that make their products valuable.
