We Build Web Apps That Solve Real Problems
From idea to production in 8-12 weeks. No agencies. No overhead. Just working code that scales.
What We've Built
Three real products. Solving real problems. Used by real people.
From healthcare data pipelines processing 100GB+ daily to AI-powered education platforms serving thousands of users - we build production-grade systems that handle real-world scale. Each project showcases our expertise in complex backend architectures, modern frontend development, and turning ambitious ideas into reliable, maintainable software.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with us
How long does it take to build a healthcare DICOM/PACS system?
For a production-ready DICOM routing platform, we typically need 12-16 weeks. This includes Orthanc configuration, custom plugin development, S3 integration, and comprehensive testing with real medical imaging data. Our DICOM Routing System handles 100GB+ daily and has 99.9% uptime.
Do you handle HIPAA compliance for healthcare applications?
Yes. We implement HIPAA-compliant architectures including encrypted data storage, audit logging, role-based access control (RBAC), and secure DICOM transmission. Our healthcare projects follow industry best practices for PHI (Protected Health Information) handling.
What is your pricing for MVP development?
MVP development starts at $9,900 for an 8-12 week project. This includes user research, wireframes, core feature development, and production deployment. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden costs and milestone-based payments.
Can you integrate AI/ML models into existing applications?
Absolutely. We specialize in integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and custom ML models into web applications. Our AI Education Platform serves 8,000+ users with real-time speech recognition and AI feedback. We handle API integration, rate limiting, cost optimization, and fallback strategies.
Do you provide ongoing support after project completion?
Yes. All MVP packages include 2 weeks of post-launch support. For ongoing needs, we offer monthly maintenance packages starting at $2,500/month, covering bug fixes, security updates, performance monitoring, and feature enhancements.
What technologies do you specialize in?
Backend: Python/FastAPI, NestJS, Node.js. Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript. Healthcare: Orthanc, pydicom, DICOM protocols (C-STORE, C-MOVE, WADO-RS). Infrastructure: Docker, AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda), PostgreSQL, Redis. We choose the best stack for each project based on requirements.
Can you help migrate from legacy PACS to modern cloud solutions?
Yes. We have experience migrating legacy PACS systems to Orthanc-based cloud architectures. Our migration strategy includes data validation, performance optimization (from 3-4 studies/second to 100 studies in <2 seconds), and zero-downtime cutover strategies.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. We serve clients worldwide and work across all time zones. Our team is fluent in English, Russian, and Korean. We use async communication for efficiency and schedule regular video calls for alignment.
