Two senior engineers, one backend and one frontend. We build the web app, internal tool, website, or AI product you need, and you talk to the people building it.
Taking new projects. You'll hear back from one of us, usually the same day. No forms, no sales call required.

We use AI to build fast. We spent years building by hand, so we know when it's wrong.
Two very different problems, two very different answers.
A tool for one question: are you spending enough for the life you want? Enter your numbers, change one decision, and see the range of where it leads. It started because one of us didn't want to keep looking at a spreadsheet.

You get a written scope, a timeline, and a price before anything is built. No surprises later.
You see a working version early, not at the end. You react, we adjust.
We deploy it, hand over everything, and stay available for the next round of improvements.
Melru is a husband and wife team. We're both senior software engineers who spent years at large software companies, one of us on the backend and one on the frontend, and we came away with a lot of experience in how big companies build software. AI writes a lot of our code now. What it can't do is tell you whether the code is any good. We can, because we spent years writing it ourselves.
We're problem solvers by habit. When something at work or at home isn't as easy as it should be, one of us ends up building the fix. It's the same habit we bring to your project. We build the smallest thing that fixes it and grow from there.
"Melru" is the name of our street. It's short, easy to say, and it's where we work.
Thinks in systems and wants to understand exactly how things work, all the way down. Holds every detail in his head. Loves a spreadsheet.
Sets the vision and pushes it through to done. Has no patience for bad user experience. Thinks spreadsheets are an app waiting to be built.
You'll talk to the people building it. There's no one else.
Describe the problem in a few sentences and we'll start imagining the fix with you.
You'll hear back from one of us, usually the same day.
