Services
Six areas of work, one way of working: understand the process first, build the smallest thing that fixes it, and hand over something you own outright.
One system that matches your real process, instead of four tools and a spreadsheet holding the gaps together.
A portal takes the ten repeated questions off your phone and puts them behind a login, answered accurately, at two in the morning.
Cross-platform apps in React Native and Expo — including the background, permission, and store-review work that decides whether an app actually ships.
Connect the tools you already pay for, and let the handoffs happen without someone remembering to do them.
A first version scoped to answer the one question your idea actually depends on — built to ship, not to demo.
Ongoing maintenance for software we built or inherited — security updates, platform changes, fixes, and steady improvement.
How engagements work
You are never committed to the next stage by having done the previous one.
Where almost everything starts.
One to two weeks, priced on its own. We map the workflow you actually run, agree what the software has to do, and produce a scope with fixed-price milestones. The output is yours whether or not you build with us — including if the honest recommendation turns out to be a configured off-the-shelf tool.
Fixed-price milestones, not an open meter.
Development runs in milestones you approve one at a time, each ending with working software you can use rather than a progress report. Weekly updates, and a written change process so scope moves deliberately instead of drifting.
Monthly, and cancellable monthly.
Security and dependency updates, mobile platform compatibility, monitoring, and a defined route for reporting problems. Small improvements land continuously. Larger features are quoted separately so they cannot silently consume the allowance.
The discovery sprint. It exists precisely for that. It is priced separately and produces a written workflow map and scope, so you end up with something useful even if you decide not to build.
Yes. The studio is based in Madison, New Jersey and works with clients remotely. Discovery works well over video calls, and in-person time is straightforward for anyone in the region.
Discovery is a fixed fee. Build work is quoted as fixed-price milestones from the discovery output, so you are approving a known number rather than an hourly estimate. Support is a monthly plan.
You do — the code, the repository, the cloud accounts, and the developer accounts, all in your name from the start rather than transferred at the end.
Often. It starts with a paid review of the codebase and infrastructure. Sometimes the honest answer is that rebuilding costs less than maintaining what exists, and that is worth establishing before committing to either.
It is a founder-led studio. Philip Rodriguez does the discovery and writes the code. That is the whole model — it means direct access and no handover losses, and it means we scope honestly rather than promising more capacity than exists.

Let's turn it into a clear, buildable plan. A first call is a conversation about your workflow — not a sales pitch, and not a commitment.
