A small studio with a single, uncompromising bar.

CodeVix Labs is a founder-led engineering studio. We don't scale by adding juniors — we scale by raising the bar. Every engagement is reviewed, shipped, and supported by a senior engineer who owns the outcome end to end.

Founder-led delivery, by design. Not by accident.

The biggest risk in agency work isn't price — it's the silent hand-off from the senior who sold you to the junior who builds for you. We removed that hand-off entirely.

I personally review every architecture decision, run weekly demos, and ensure zero-regression releases. That is the bar.

  • 01ArchitectureEvery schema, API surface, and infra decision passes my review before it ships.
  • 02CadenceWeekly demos. Working software. Honest progress — including what didn't work.
  • 03Quality gateNo release ships without contract tests, perf checks, and a rollback plan.
  • 04OwnershipOne throat to choke. You always know who owns the outcome — me.
[ 02.0 / METHODOLOGY ]

The CodeVix Standard. Documented, not branded.

Four phases, written down, used on every engagement. Same artifacts we use internally — you see all of them.

PHASE 01

Technical Audit

15-min call. We probe scope, risks, real constraints. You leave with a written assessment — even if we don't work together.

Δ Audit memo (PDF)
PHASE 02

Architecture Spec

Schema, API contracts, infra plan, risk register. Founder-reviewed, signed off by you, before production code is written.

Δ Spec + diagrams
PHASE 03

Build · Weekly demos

Working software every Friday. Branch previews, contract tests on every PR. Progress as it happens, not at the end.

Δ Demo + changelog
PHASE 04

Hardening + Handover

Perf budgets, alerting, runbooks, on-call playbook. We hand over a system you can operate without us.

Δ Runbook + handover
[ 03.0 / OPERATING_PRINCIPLES ]

Five things we believe. Borderline aggressively.

PRINCIPLE 01

Precision over speed

Speed without precision is debt. We optimize for the second year of production, not the first launch tweet.

PRINCIPLE 02

Boring tech, well used

Postgres, TypeScript, Next.js. No exotic stack of the week. Boring tech in the right hands is the highest leverage there is.

PRINCIPLE 03

Tests are the contract

If it's not tested, it's not shipped. Type-check, contract, e2e — all real, all in CI, all blocking.

PRINCIPLE 04

No black boxes

We work in the open. You see the spec, the diagrams, the PRs, the test runs. No mystery, no ceremony.

PRINCIPLE 05

Hand it over, then go

Lock-in is failure. Every engagement ends with a runbook, an on-call playbook, and a team who can operate without us.

PRINCIPLE 06

Honest scope, honest no

If we're not the right fit, we say so on the first call. You'll get an honest referral, not a rebrand of the same pitch.

Want the long version? Book a call.

15 minutes, engineer-to-engineer. We'll talk through your system, the risks we'd flag, and whether we're the right team to help.
