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 code, the docs and the accounts are yours.

  • Direct collaboration

    You work with me directly

  • You own everything

    Code, docs and accounts — no lock-in

  • Focused on impact

    Quality over quantity

Products from the studio

Building useful things.

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

  • Movar

    Keep the internet in your language.

  • StitchAPI

    Turn any API into a typed, resilient function.

Open-source libraries

  • Tell me the language.

    Evidence-fusion language detection for short strings, with an auditable confidence trail.

  • Keeps the machine awake while long jobs run.

    A cross-platform sleep and display-sleep inhibitor for Node — zero dependencies, no native addons.

  • Pin your docs to the truth so they can’t drift.

    A drift-prevention framework: it tracks every place the same fact lives — code, docs, generated files — and reconciles them when one changes.

  • Tessellum

    Design phase

    Atomic configuration.

    Every config value is an inert, importable, validated descriptor, bound explicitly per runtime.

How we can work together

Three ways to move forward.

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.

About

I’m Oleksandr Zhuravlov.

I’ve spent 10+ years building software — from frontend and backend development to infrastructure and engineering leadership. Oleks Crane is my way of working directly with founders and small teams, focusing on what matters most: building great products.

Zhuravlov comes from журавель, Ukrainian for “crane” — Oleks Crane is simply my name in English.
