Web Apps for Startups and Teams

Ship working software. From week one.

Lean Code Studio builds web apps for startups and teams. Iterating fast, getting real feedback early and never leaving you waiting to see something working.

The Mission

Web apps built on real feedback. Not assumptions.

I started Lean Code Studio because I kept seeing the same thing. Months of work, a long requirements list, a finished build and a client who wanted something different. Nobody wins. The traditional approach treats software like a construction project — agree everything upfront, build it and reveal it all at the end. That works for buildings but it rarely works for software.

The fix isn't better planning. It's getting working software in front of you as fast as possible and building from there. Every project starts with the single most important thing and nothing else. It gets built, you use it, we learn and move forward. It's the 80/20 principle applied to software meaning build the part that matters and cut everything that doesn't.

In practice what you get is a direct line to the person writing your code. No project managers, no handoffs and no loss of context between people. You know exactly where your project stands at every stage. I'm not afraid to push back when something isn't right either. You're not hiring me to say yes. You're hiring me to get it right.

The Process

A simple process. Built to iterate.

01

Discovery

Every project starts with a conversation. We get to the bottom of what you actually need, who's going to use it and what the first version should do. Nothing gets committed to paper that doesn't need to be. You walk away knowing exactly what we're building first and why.

02

Build

This is where the work happens, one feature at a time. Every piece follows the same loop: plan it, build it, test it, get your feedback and repeat. You have something real to look at from the first week rather than waiting until everything is finished.

03

Ship

When you're happy with what's been built we make it live. Everything is handed over cleanly — the codebase, the infrastructure and anything you need to run it going forward. If new features come up later or the product needs to grow, we treat it as a fresh piece of work and start the process again.

The Solutions

From first idea to fully shipped.

Whether you're a startup with a concept or a business with a problem to solve, here's where I can help.

Startup MVPs

You have an idea and need to prove it works. I build the leanest possible version of your product fast enough to get in front of real users before the budget runs out.

SaaS Products

Subscription-based web apps built to grow. From early prototype to paying customers, I help you build a product that scales without the architecture headaches.

Internal Tools

Your team has outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf software. I build custom tools that fit exactly how your business works with just the things you need.

Customer Portals

Give your clients a place to log in, manage their account, track progress or access your services. Clean, reliable and built around your specific user needs.

Marketplaces

Two-sided platforms that connect buyers and sellers, providers and clients. Built with the logic, payment flows and user journeys that hold everything together.

Workflow Automation

Repetitive manual processes slowing your team down? I build tools that automate the boring parts so your people can focus on the work that actually matters.
