First we understand the problem. Then we build a working sample so you can see what it can do. If you like it, we build it for production. At the end we hand it over and help you run it.

Your involvement: 1–2 hours per week. We handle the rest.

Why us

Boutique studio. Science-backed methodology.

We are not a slow corporate shop — 25+ senior experts working in teams of 4–8 per project. Our owners personally oversee every engagement.

What sets us apart

AI does not replace the senior developer. We use both — and that is exactly why we are up to 5x faster than traditional software development companies.

01

Seniors only

Every developer on our team has at least 8 years of experience. AI agents do the junior work, seniors make the decisions — so you get senior output without junior overhead.

02

Your data never leaves

We work with AI tools that do not store, train on or publicly share the data they process. Your codebase and business information never end up in public AI models.

03

Research-based methodology

Our team built its risk framework for AI-assisted development on published literature and real-world project experience. We arrive with a structured methodology.

04

Security-by-default and EU compliance

We assess security risks at design time, filter them automatically, and review manually before go-live. EU AI Act, GDPR and NIS2 are part of the process, with audit-ready documentation.

05

Weeks, not months

The first working prototype can be ready within 2–6 weeks, the production system within a few months. With our AI agents we deliver at a pace no traditional dev team can realistically match.

06

Fixed price, fixed deadline

No hourly billing — a fixed price and deadline for each phase. After Discovery you know exactly what the full project will cost. No surprise invoices at the end of the quarter.

Rewriting a mobile app. Two decisions you can measure in numbers.

2026 · React NativeAnonymizedUpdated: April 26, 2026

We rewrote an industrial client’s mobile app on an agent-based stack in 50 days — the native baseline took 30 months.

The native Kotlin version was twice the codebase, the result of three years of iteration. The agent-based reimplementation started from the final product specification, with controlled scope and an AI-DevSecOps pipeline.

Static code-quality metrics are A-grade in both versions — yet the nature of the defects differs significantly; that is exactly the gap our security review protocol addresses.

What does this mean for you?

If you want to refresh a 5+ year-old application or shorten a 30+ month roadmap — this is exactly the process we run on your codebase. The first step is a 30-minute call.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get asked most.

After a 30-minute call we send a 1-page proposal within 24 hours (scope, risks, estimated timeline, price range). If we move forward, the detailed proposal arrives within 48 hours: technical design, team composition, milestones, fixed or T&M pricing.
In an agent-based development environment (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) a senior engineer works on several parallel threads at once: code generation, test generation, refactoring and documentation together. A mandatory human security review, static analysis and end-to-end tests are part of it — this combination delivers the speed without sacrificing control.
We use enterprise AI subscriptions with EU data residency and zero-data-retention. The client codebase and data never enter the training sets of public models. If a self-hosted LLM is required, we handle that too (Mistral, Llama, on-prem deployment).
For high-risk AI systems (healthcare, HR, credit scoring, critical infrastructure) Articles 9–14 of the EU AI Act require a risk management system, data governance, technical documentation, logging, transparency and human oversight. We do not bolt these on afterwards — they are part of our process, aligned with the NIST AI RMF and MITRE ATLAS frameworks.
A typical engagement is custom software development in the €15–100k range, or a €5–20k PoC. Below that (under €2.5k) it is not worth it — a freelancer serves you better. We are also not the right partner for multi-team programs above €250k — there an enterprise integrator is a better choice.
Most of our clients arrive with a 2–3 page idea outline or the pain points of an existing system — that is exactly why we have a discovery/scope phase. Within 1–2 weeks we get to the use-case matrix and control gates, and from there fixed pricing can be given.
Before every release there is a mandatory human security review by an engineer with 8+ years of experience (not from the perspective of whoever generated the code). SonarCloud + static analysis + automated end-to-end tests on every CI run. A SonarCloud A·A·A rating is a release condition.
We contract through a Hungarian Ltd. in EUR or GBP. With EU member-state companies reverse-charge VAT applies; with UK companies a net invoice all the same. NDA, MSA, DPA, SCC package ready on request.
Yes — legacy rewrites are a standalone service (4–39 weeks, €2.5–75k, sprint-based). We map the existing system with AI-assisted code analysis, then rewrite it to a modern stack with a controlled migration. Reference: we rewrote a 30-month native development baseline in 50 days on an agent-based stack, with a SonarCloud A·A·A rating and 0 security vulnerabilities.
Handover is not the end of the relationship: on a monthly retainer (from €750/month) we handle operations, bug fixes and further development, with a written SLA. The retainer is a monthly budget — whatever a given month does not use for fixes can be reallocated to development.
You do. Every handover includes the full source code, infrastructure definitions and documentation — with no license restrictions. There is no vendor lock-in: any other team can take the delivered system forward, and you decide freely how to continue.
Frontend: React, React Native, TypeScript. Backend: Node.js, Python, Go. Database: PostgreSQL. Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure. AI: LangChain, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, plus self-hosted LLMs (Llama, Mistral) with a private RAG architecture. The stack recommendation always adapts to your existing systems and team — not the other way around.
A professional second opinion on your plan either way — even if we are not the right partner. We do this because most failed AI projects stem from the wrong scope, not the wrong team.
