Principal engineering on every build
No staffing a junior and slipping the work past a code review. The engineer scoping the architecture is the engineer writing the code.
Principal-led software studio
Software that ships.
Software that ships.
Engineering that stays.
We build web platforms, mobile apps, and AI features for companies who'd rather work directly with a senior principal engineer than a bloated, account-managed agency. Fixed scope. Direct engineering. No handoff drama.

About Artistech
A principal-led studio across Europe.
Artistech is a principal-led software studio founded in 2019. We operate deliberately lean: every project is architected and built directly by a senior principal engineer, eliminating account managers, sales intermediaries, and coordination bloat.
Every project is led hands-on from initial scoping through production deployment. When an engagement calls for dedicated design, niche domain expertise, or extra capacity, we bring in trusted senior collaborators from our European network. You get the agility and personal accountability of an independent lead with the collective capabilities of a studio.
We've shipped booking engines, real-time data pipelines, internal operational platforms, compliance systems, and fintech payment flows. You work directly with the engineer building your product - no junior handoffs, no middle-management markup.
We tell you what we actually think
If a feature is going to cost more than it returns, we say so. If your timeline is unrealistic, we say so on day one, not week six.
Modern stack, no legacy baggage
We build on well-supported, current technology. The code we hand over is something your team can maintain in three years.
We don't disappear after launch
Every project includes a support period. Many clients keep us on a small retainer for monitoring, iterations, and the next thing.
Six service areas. One standard.
We don't subdivide into practice heads and offshore teams. Every project is guided directly by senior principal engineering across all of these areas.
Enterprise Software
ERPs, CRMs, internal tools, dashboards. We build to fit your actual workflows, not generic templates.
Learn moreWeb Development
Marketing platforms, web applications, and e-commerce. Sub-second loads, built to be handed off cleanly.
Learn moreMobile & Native Apps
Native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin), alongside cross-platform React Native and Flutter. Built to feel native, submitted, approved, and supported.
Learn moreAI & Local LLMs
From frontier APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) to private, self-hosted local LLMs and open-source models (Llama, Mistral, vLLM). Privacy-first, local, and cost-controlled.
Learn moreCloud & Self-Hosted
Self-hosted bare metal, Cloudflare edge networks, and major clouds (AWS, GCP). High-throughput, sovereign, and cost-controlled.
Learn moreData & Analytics
Dashboards, reporting pipelines, data infrastructure. We turn raw data into something your team will actually use.

Every engagement follows the same shape. It keeps things predictable for you and accountable for us.
- 01
Discovery
1–2 weeksWe get on calls with you, your team, and your users. We map the problem, the constraints, and the risks.
Deliverable A scoped proposal with timeline and fixed price. - 02
Build
4–14 weeksDirect principal-led execution in weekly increments. You see real, working software tested and deployed every Friday.
Deliverable Production-ready code in your repository. - 03
Ship
1–2 weeksWe handle the cutover, the migrations, the launch comms. We sit with you when it goes live.
Deliverable A live system, a runbook, and a handover. - 04
Support
OngoingWe stick around. Most clients keep us on a small retainer for monitoring, iterations, and the next thing.
Deliverable Direct engineering continuity from the builder who knows your code.
Systems we design and ship.
Most of our work sits behind logins and NDAs - here’s a sample of the kinds of systems we build.
Booking & floor management
Real-time reservations and table management.
Guest reservations, slot allocation, live floor plans and automated reminders - booking systems we’ve shipped to production more than once.
Data pipelines & analytics
From raw events to dashboards people actually open.
Booking-system and website events flowing through ingestion and scheduled transforms into live dashboards - pipelines we build and still run today.
Compliance & DPA tooling
DPA management, built as a product.
We build and run our own DPA management SaaS - contract generation, sub-processor tracking, audit trails - with a GDPR specialist one call away.
Payments & invoicing
From card terminal to invoice.
Integrations that connect POS systems, payment providers and invoicing into one flow - sales, charges and receipts kept in sync.
Internal tools & HR
HR and operations in one portal.
A Factorial-style HR platform built for a company’s internal operations - scheduling, time-off, approvals and documents, all role-based.
Mobile & cloud delivery
Cross-platform apps with automated releases.
iOS and Android apps backed by containerized services, release pipelines and zero-downtime deployments.

Discuss your systemWhere we've done this before.
Six verticals we've shipped production systems in. Each card opens a dedicated playbook - the typical builds, timelines, and pricing for that domain.
Hospitality & Dining
Booking engines, live floor plans, multi-venue ops - zero double-bookings.
FinTech & Billing
Automated invoicing, payment flows, and reconciliation with full audit trails.
SaaS & Internal Tools
New products, v2 rebuilds, internal tools - you keep the code and the docs.
Logistics & Supply Chain
Dispatch systems, shipment tracking, and carrier & warehouse integrations.
E-commerce Operations
Order management, inventory sync, and returns without the back-office chaos.
Gyms, Fitness & Nutrition
Member apps, class booking, training plans, and nutrition coaching tools.
And across all of them: automation & AI that removes manual work →
What we build with.
From native iOS & Android to self-hosted infrastructure, Cloudflare, local LLMs, and high-performance Go & Rust systems. We pick what fits the project, not what happens to be on a conference slide.

Questions we get on every call.
What types of projects do you take on?
Web applications, mobile apps (iOS, Android, cross-platform), booking engines, internal tools, data analytics pipelines, and DevOps infrastructure. We routinely build for hospitality, SaaS, payments, compliance, and data-intensive businesses.
How long does a typical project take?
A simple website takes 2–4 weeks. A custom web app typically runs 6–12 weeks. Enterprise systems vary. We give you a realistic estimate after a discovery call - not before.
What does a Discovery Sprint actually deliver?
A one-to-two-week engagement that ends with a technical architecture, wireframes or a clickable prototype, and a fixed-price proposal for the build. Most projects start here.
What size of company do you work with?
Mostly seed-to-Series-B startups and mid-sized companies (10–500 employees). We've also done larger enterprise work.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. Every project includes a support period (30–90 days). We also offer monthly retainers for ongoing development, monitoring, and the next thing on your roadmap.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. We integrate with your existing infrastructure, modernize legacy code, and build APIs that connect your tools. We'll assess what you have before recommending anything.
How do you handle security and compliance?
We follow secure coding standards, implement proper authentication, and handle data with care. For regulated industries, we're familiar with GDPR and can scope HIPAA / SOC 2 work during discovery.
What are your pricing models?
Fixed-price for well-scoped projects, time-and-materials for exploratory work, and monthly retainers for ongoing teams. We recommend the right model after understanding your project.
Still have questions?
Book a 30-minute call. We'll talk through your situation and tell you honestly whether we're a fit.
