Independent software studio

Software products, built for you to own.

I help founders and small teams turn ideas into production-ready software, and hand it over complete.

The Movar popup open over a news article: the page is in English, and the preferred order is English, then Ukrainian.
  1. Detects the page’s language
  2. Applies your preferred order — English, then Ukrainian
  3. Filters blocked-language content: blurred, or removed from the feed
  • Direct collaboration

    You work with me — no middlemen to pay

  • No lock-in

    The code, the docs and the accounts are yours

  • Focused on impact

    Quality over quantity

Products from the studio

Building useful things.

Products and open-source libraries I build and ship myself.

  • Movar Audit’s Detector tab on macOS: the result, Ukrainian, with what gave it away and why Russian and English were ruled out.

    Keep the internet in your language.

    1. Detects among a set of candidates — here Ukrainian, English and Russian
    2. Names the result — Ukrainian, by its distinctive letters
    3. Explains why each other candidate was ruled out
  • StitchAPI’s demo: a streaming stitch declared in a few lines of code, and its result rendering as it streams.

    Turn any API into a typed, resilient function.

    1. The chat endpoint, declared once as a stitch
    2. Its reply renders as it streams in
  • Tell me the language.

Three ways we can work together.

Different starting points. Same goal — a successful product.

  • Build

    You have an idea or a validated concept.

    I turn it into a production-ready product — from architecture to deployment — and hand it over complete.

  • Take over

    You already have an MVP or an existing product.

    I take responsibility for it, stabilise it and move it forward. It stays yours.

  • Rebuild

    The product works, but the technology is holding it back.

    I modernise the architecture, performance and infrastructure — without blindly rewriting everything.
