From git init to millions of users.
Software engineering for products that have to scale. We pick the technology for the problem, bring AI into the whole cycle and deliver code your team can maintain.
Per-organization isolation, per-customer caching and recurring billing. Ready to grow from 10 to 10,000 companies.
The whole cycle, in a single team.
Each service has its own page with scope, stack and frequently asked questions.
#Web platforms and SaaS
We build complete web products: from the MVP that validates your idea to the multi-tenant platform that bills every month. An architecture designed to grow without a rewrite.
- Product discovery and clickable prototype
- Frontend with Next.js, React, Angular or Vue
- Backend and APIs with NestJS, FastAPI or Spring Boot
- Authentication, roles, payments and multi-tenancy
- Analytics and monitoring from day one
- Automated tests and continuous deployment
Software in production, with real users.
Products we have designed, built and launched. Each one has its case study with the challenge, the solution and screenshots.
zenwash.appManagement software for car washes, detailing, light mechanics and express body shops: orders by license plate, point of sale, inventory, commissions and reports.
estadia.appAll-in-one software to manage bookings, guests, payments and the daily operation of hotels, hostels and cabins.
subbito.appA QR code digital menu platform that translates menus automatically, generates dish images and creates social media content with AI.
rewly.appA platform that replaces paper loyalty cards so local businesses can increase customer loyalty and repeat visits.
beta versionAn app for golf rounds among friends: live scoring, hole-by-hole handicaps and the group's bets calculated instantly.
beta versionAn app for TUB buses in Braga: a map with buses in real time, arrivals by stop, lines, a route planner and the fleet. Available as a native app for iOS and Android and as an installable web app.
Built to handle spikes.
Caching, queues and real time from the start: the difference between a product that crashes and one that grows.
Tools chosen for the problem, not for the hype.
We work with a broad stack so we never force your product into a single technology. Every project gets the decision justified in writing.
export const stack = { frontend: ["Astro", "Next.js", "React", "Angular", "Vue"], mobile: ["Flutter"], backend: ["Node.js", "NestJS", "Python", "FastAPI", "Spring Boot", "Laravel"], data: ["PostgreSQL", "MySQL", "Supabase", "Redis"], realtime: ["WebSockets", "BullMQ", "RabbitMQ", "SQS"], ai: ["LLMs", "RAG", "pgvector", "Agents"], cloud: ["AWS", "GCP", "Vercel", "Docker", "Terraform"], } // chosen for your problem, not for the hype
AI on every pull request. Human judgment on every merge.
AI reviews, suggests and writes tests. A senior engineer decides what goes to production. More speed, without losing control.
@@ src/notifications/notifications.gateway.ts+ @WebSocketGateway({ namespace: 'notifications' })+ export class NotificationsGateway {+ async send(userId: string, event: Event) {- const profile = await this.db.profile(userId)+ const profile = await this.cache.remember('profile:' + userId, 300,+ () => this.db.profile(userId))+ this.server.to(userId).emit(event.type, event)+ await this.queue.add('push', { userId, event })
The profile query ran on every event. Suggestion applied: Redis cache with a 5-minute TTL.
Good. The push goes to the queue so it doesn't block the socket, and it retries. Approved.

Frequently asked questions.
What technologies do you use?
We choose per project: Astro, Next.js, React, Angular and Vue on the frontend; Node.js, NestJS, Python, FastAPI, Java and PHP on the backend; Flutter for mobile; PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase and Redis for data and caching; queues and WebSockets for asynchronous and real-time processes; AWS, GCP and Vercel in the cloud.
How do you use AI in development?
Across the whole cycle: requirements analysis, prototypes, code review, test generation and documentation. AI speeds things up; a senior engineer makes and reviews every decision.
How do you ensure quality?
Unit, integration and end-to-end tests, code review on every change, continuous deployment and monitoring in production.
How do you run a custom project?
We start with a discovery phase, define scope and budget, and work in two-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each one.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on the scope. After a first call we send you a proposal with scope, timelines and a budget broken down by phase.
Can you integrate with our current systems?
Yes. We integrate ERPs, CRMs, payment gateways, cloud services and third-party APIs so all your platforms work together.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes: maintenance, monitoring, updates, new features and training for your team.
