// who_we_work_with

Sound like you? We should talk.

We work best with people who have a clear goal and need someone to make it real. Here's who we typically partner with.

Non-technical founders

You have the vision — we turn it into a real product. From napkin sketch to App Store, without you needing to learn a single line of code.

Startups that need to move fast

Your runway is short and you need a technical partner who ships — not one who bills for meetings. We plug in, build, and deliver.

Companies modernizing their tech

Legacy systems slowing you down? We audit what you have, build a migration plan, and help you modernize — without breaking what already works.

Teams that need reinforcements

Already have developers? We fill skill gaps, provide technical leadership, or step onto an existing project and ramp up fast.

Businesses ready to integrate AI

You know AI could make your team faster — but you need someone to figure out where it fits, build it right, and make sure your team actually uses it.

Don't see yourself here? If you've got a problem that software can solve, let's talk.

// how_we_work

A process built on transparency.

No bloat. No surprises. Here's exactly what working with us looks like.

01

Discovery Call

Free. 30 minutes. No strings attached.

  • We learn about your goals, timeline, and budget
  • You get honest feedback on feasibility and approach
  • No commitment — just a conversation to see if we're a fit
02

Scope & Proposal

Clear deliverables. Honest estimates. No surprises.

  • A detailed statement of work with defined milestones
  • Transparent estimate ranges so you know what to expect
  • No work starts until you're comfortable with the plan
03

Build & Ship

Milestone-based delivery. Regular updates. Full transparency.

  • Work is structured around milestones — you see real progress at every stage
  • Weekly updates so you're never guessing where things stand
  • Direct access to your engineering team, not a project manager
04

Launch & Support

We don't disappear after deployment.

  • We help you deploy, test, and get real users on the product
  • Bug fixes and iterations included in the initial engagement
  • Ongoing maintenance contracts available — we stay reliable for months and years after launch

The people behind the product.

Founded by Katia and Darius — a husband-and-wife team with a combined 18+ years in tech, with backgrounds at some of the largest companies in the world.

Katia

// since 2018

Started at Fluentstream, a telecommunications startup, before spending five years as a software engineer at Microsoft, working across a diverse range of products, languages, and architectural decisions.

Full-stack development expertise, a sharp eye for design, and deep experience shipping products from concept to the App Store. Also an AI and tech content creator — always thinking about how to make complex technology feel approachable.

Darius

// since 2015

Experience spanning Bank of America, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, and Emory University and Hospital. Holds a software engineering degree and a Master's in Cybersecurity.

Worked as a software engineer, technical program manager, and cybersecurity analyst. Exceptionally strong at planning, execution, auditing security risks, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. If there's a vulnerability in your system or a gap in your process, he'll find it.

Darius — Co-Founder & Technical Director

US-based. We do not outsource overseas. Every line of code, every design decision, every conversation — that's us.

You're probably
wondering...

Every project is different. We offer both project-based pricing and hourly consulting. Book a free call and we'll give you a straight answer.

Absolutely — that's a huge part of what we do. We translate your vision into a technical plan and handle the build so you don't have to learn to code.

Yes. We regularly pick up projects mid-stream, audit existing code, and improve what's already there.

Yes. We can step in alongside your existing team, fill skill gaps, provide technical leadership, or audit what's been built so far and recommend a path forward.

Typically within 1–2 weeks of signing a statement of work. For urgent projects, we can sometimes move faster.

No. We build apps, automation tools, AI-powered internal tools, dashboards, scrapers — if it involves software, we can probably help.
