the code witches

Software engineering & technical partnership

we partner with smes, technical teams, and founders
building software that serves people, not the other way around


A pioneering vision with no clear path yet

Processes that are 80% workarounds

A legacy system everyone wants to rewrite with AI

we hold the complexity, so you can lead


services

We offer fully integrated hands-on software engineering and technical consulting from a single source.

We work with AI where it genuinely helps — and we'll tell you when it doesn't.

We hold the complexity so you can stay in a position to act. Every question moves things forward. The messier the problem, the more we want to dig in. We bring contagious enthusiasm, promised.

product development

You have an ambitious vision, maybe a vibecoded start and you need someone to turn it into stable tech while iterating fast.

We're at home in unknown waters and will go with you through the full cycle, all the way to stable software without lock-in or black boxes.

maintainer contract

You have a massive legacy system that needs to be changed, modernized or maintained, but you have no one that understands what do with it.

We stay in your system, stay reachable, and move fast when things break. You get a commited, long-term technical partner who knows you and your software.

process digitization

Your operations run on spreadsheets, manual handoffs, and tools that don't talk to each other.

We map the full process, identify where software or ai actually help, and build something that fits how your team works (not the other way around)

1h sparring

Bring your situation, your stuck point, your half-formed idea. You leave with clear thinking and concrete next steps.

deep dive

tailored workshop for your most pressing pain point. we develop solutions together — architecture, roadmap, technical direction. you walk away with an actionable plan.

1 dev cycle

a full cycle together: discover, plan, implement, test, deploy, review — plus one feedback loop after your review. something real to build on, and a clear sense of how working together feels.

Together we'll get you moving forward!

current projects

What we build belongs to those who work with it: decentralized, open, designed for the long term. No lock-in, no black boxes, as little platform dependencies as possible.

A custom internal tool that replaces five spreadsheets. An algorithm that automates a painful manual process. A data pipeline that brings your analytics into one live view. A platform that handles your full operational workflow end to end. Whatever the scale, we come with the depth to do it right.

build & maintain

Custom ERP

Skyseed's processes are too specialized and too niche for any off-the-shelf solution. We built their system from scratch: a single source of truth that replaced five Excel sheets per project, covering seed purchasing, production, tour planning, and drone logistics. Over the years the system grew to include a lead generator and more. Four years in, we're still their technical team. Committed for the long run, jumping in fast when things are urgent, and keeping everything healthy as they grow.

Legacy Booking System

The Freie Kunst Akademie Augsburg's booking platform had been running for over ten years, handling around 100 courses, 150 teachers, and 7,000 students a year. When new leadership took over, they wanted a fresh look and feel, without disrupting a team whose workflows had grown around the existing system. We redesigned and extended what was there, and have stayed on as their reliable, committed technical partner ever since: updates, small features, and jumping in fast when something is urgent.

Drupal, PHP, Javascript, MySQL, SCSS

about

rebels by heart, coders by craft. We partner up with changemakers and teams who want to support their work with the right digital tools or want to build their own tech product. Our passion lies in understanding complex systems, writing clean code, and creating clear communication that builds bridges.

We are two experienced developers with 20+ years of combined practice in building software and data products across industries, stacks, and scales.

We work as a tandem: a well-established powerhouse team of two giving you the service and reliability of an agency, with the flexibility and direct communication of working with individuals. If one of us is unavailable, the other knows your system and can keep things moving.
