Engineering-Led Studio
We combine deep engineering experience with a background in behavioral science to build software your team actually uses — and technology that grows with your mission.
Principal
Every Viname project is personally architected and executed by the same person — no hand-offs to junior staff, no agency layers, no delegation. You get direct access to a senior engineer — across the full stack, from cloud infrastructure to UI — from the first conversation to final delivery.
With over a decade of enterprise architecture experience, a foundation in Psychology and Sociology, and years building community organizations from the ground up, we approach every engagement differently: understanding how your staff, volunteers, and clients actually work comes before a single line of code is written. The result is software your team genuinely adopts — intuitive enough to use without training, solid enough to trust with operations.
We work exclusively with small businesses and non-profits — not because it's a niche, but because it's where the work genuinely matters. That's a personal conviction shaped by years of community organizing, not a positioning strategy — and it means you get an engineer who actually cares about your mission, not just your budget.
Selected Impact
Architecture
Architected an omni-channel IVR and chat platform from greenfield concept to production in 12 months — enabling non-technical teams to deploy live workflows in minutes instead of weeks, and ultimately cited as the primary technical catalyst in the company's successful acquisition.
CI/CD
Built local build pipelines and dependency management that collapsed release cycles from six months to six weeks — without adding headcount — cutting production incidents and measurably improving user satisfaction.
Modernization
Migrated a regional non-profit's mission-critical ASP.NET 2.0 monolith — a live system handling financial transactions with zero permitted maintenance windows — into a modular microservices architecture, carved out module-by-module without losing a single transaction.
Leadership
Directed two cross-functional teams simultaneously as Technical Lead and Agile Scrum Master — a 5-person development squad and a separate production infrastructure team of DBAs, analysts, and support staff — while serving on the organization's funding board. Recognized multiple times as Employee of the Month for cross-departmental execution.

Every engagement starts with a 15-minute discovery call — no pressure, no pitch deck.
