    Build something new

    From a rough idea to production software. We help you decide what to build, then ship it in weekly sprints with working demos, not status decks.

    Start a build

    AI-built app audit

    Built it with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or Replit and it keeps breaking? Senior engineers review your real code and hand you a written plan: what's broken, what's a security risk, and what to fix first.

    Explore the code audit

    Finish & ship an AI-built app

    Your app works in the demo but isn't ready for real users. We fix what's broken, make it production ready, and launch it, against a written scope agreed before work starts.

    You work with the founders, not an account manager

    We're both senior engineers. We're on your calls, in your code, and accountable for what ships. When a project needs more hands, we bring in senior specialists from a network we've vetted ourselves.

    Modern, accessible interfaces built for performance and scale.

    Back-end development

    Secure, scalable backends and APIs that hold up under real load.

    AI & machine learning

    LLM features, agents, and automation wired into your product.

    Mobile development
