Custom web, mobile, and desktop software for businesses that run on their product. Two ex-enterprise principals design the architecture and write every commit. Fixed price, fixed outcome, live in 2 to 4 weeks.
Map your relational schema, API contracts, stack choices, and risk boundaries before spending build capital. Includes an interactive clickable wireframe in 5 business days.
Real software with measured performance and operational data. Built and operated by the founding pair.
Automated risk classification, code-level regulation monitoring, and obligation mapping across 113 articles of the EU AI Act. Built on Cloudflare Workers and TypeScript with sub-second edge response and sovereign EU data residency.
Automated deal intake, document checklist extraction, and multi-party milestone tracking from contract to close. Replaced a $400/deal human coordinator with automated edge coordination, dropping the missed-deadline rate to zero.
AI tools generate boilerplate in minutes. Two ex-enterprise engineers make sure the application survives traffic spikes.
AI-generated prototypes frequently treat databases as dumb JSON dumps. We design normalized schemas with foreign key constraints, unique indexes, and ACID transactions so your user records, billing states, and core data never corrupt under load.
We use modern AI tooling to generate boilerplate, scaffolding, and test fixtures in minutes instead of days. Two ex-enterprise principals design the architecture, review every commit, enforce security boundaries, and sign off on every deployment.
Critical views render at the edge in under 100 milliseconds. Relational queries are indexed and connection-pooled. Heavy computational tasks, emails, and third-party webhooks are offloaded to Redis and Sidekiq queues that absorb traffic spikes cleanly.
You own every line of code from commit number one. No proprietary studio wrappers, no runtime licensing fees, and no hostage code. Your repositories, your Docker pipelines, and your cloud infrastructure.
Direct implementations without framework churn. We pick the simplest stack that fulfills your production requirements.
Multi-tenant platforms, client portals, and revenue-generating dashboards. Fast initial edge loads, reactive island components, and transactional APIs.

Continuous engineering on your production platform. Two founding principals ship features every 14 days, optimize queries, and provide emergency SLA on-call cover.
Compare delivery models before spending months in hiring pipelines or signing open-ended agency retainers.
2 to 4 weeks. We ship a working production MVP.
3 to 6 months of recruiting, vetting, and onboarding.
8 to 14 weeks of slide decks and kickoff meetings.
Two ex-enterprise principals write every commit.
Single hire with blind spots in frontend or infra.
Pitched by senior directors, built by junior contractors.
PostgreSQL constraints, Redis queues, and edge caching standard.
Depends on whether the hire has high-concurrency experience.
Happy-path code that fails when transaction volume surges.
Fixed outcome or flat €10,000/month pod. Zero surprise hours.
€25,000–€30,000/mo salary, taxes, recruiter fees, and benefits.
Unpredictable time-and-materials with billable scope creep.
100% yours in your repositories from commit one.
Yours, but dependent on undocumented institutional knowledge.
Often tied to proprietary templates or complex handover fees.

Plain answers about code ownership, team handover, and how we write software.
The two founding principals. We are ex-enterprise systems engineers with background in high-concurrency platforms, banking infrastructure, and distributed systems. We do not employ junior developers, account managers, or outsourced contractors. Every line of code and infrastructure configuration is authored by us.
We use modern AI generation to draft repetitive code, write unit test suites, and scaffold components in minutes. The difference is the guardrails: we design the relational database schema, specify the API contracts, enforce security boundaries, and verify every commit. You get 5x the speed without brittle code.
Yes, completely. All code is committed directly to your private GitHub or GitLab repository from day one. Deployments run on your Cloudflare, AWS, or Kamal host accounts. There are zero proprietary runtime locks or licensing fees.
Yes. We deliberately build on standard, well-documented technologies: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React Native / Expo, Astro, and Docker. We document data schemas, write automated test suites, and provide clean architectural blueprints so any competent senior engineer can step in seamlessly.
You have two paths: either take full ownership of the documented, tested codebase with no further fees, or retain our Dedicated Systems Pod (€10,000/month flat) for continuous bi-weekly feature sprints, query optimization, and SLA incident response.
Skip account managers and junior relays. Book 15 minutes directly with the two senior principals to discuss your requirements, tech stack, and timeline.
