Senior engineers who like fixing what others broke.
Shpatik Studiois a Moldova-based software studio. We build our own products — live, paying, in production — and we take that same discipline to rescue the projects other developers left broken. Same stack, same standards, whether it's ours or yours.
Too many good ideas die on bad code.
We kept meeting founders in the same spot: a developer had vanished, an agency had ghosted, or an AI tool had produced something that demoed beautifully and then fell apart in production. The idea was sound. The execution had failed them. And most agencies just wanted to sell them a rebuild.
So we leaned into the harder, more useful work: taking over someone else's broken project, being honest about what's salvageable, and getting it shipped. It's not glamorous. It's exactly what a founder in trouble actually needs.
We do it with the same senior engineers who build our own products — GazetAI, CarVinVin, Bank-Lift — on the same Next.js, React Native and Node.js stack. When we say we can rescue your app, it's because we run apps just like it.
Four principles we don't bend.
Honesty over upsell
We'll tell you if it's a rescue, a refactor, or a rebuild — even when the honest answer means less work for us. Trust is the only thing that compounds.
Senior hands only
No junior bench learning on your emergency. The engineers who assess your code are the ones who fix it.
Own the outcome
We measure ourselves by whether you ship — not by hours billed. A rescue that doesn't reach production isn't a rescue.
Leave it better documented
You should never again be hostage to one developer's head. We hand back a codebase your next hire can read.
Moldova is the advantage, not the caveat.
You get senior, EU-timezone engineering with GDPR-aligned practices — at a fraction of Western agency rates. That's not a compromise. It's the whole point.
EU timezone
We work in CET, with strong overlap across the EU and UK. Same-day answers, not overnight ping-pong.
GDPR-aware
EU-aligned data practices and security-first engineering, visible in the hardened products we run.
Top-tier region
Moldova ranks among Eastern Europe's strongest engineering hubs — senior talent, EU-adjacent.
~40% below Western rates
The same senior engineering, without the London or Berlin price tag. Arbitrage, in your favour.
