We ship software
for people who are

Litcode is a four-person engineering studio. We partner with founders to turn fuzzy ideas into shipped, load-bearing software — usually in under 90 days.

Services

Four ways we plug in.

We don't do “discovery phases.” We start writing code in week one and you have something deployable in week four.

MVP Engineering

Zero-to-one product build. React, Next.js, Postgres, and whatever it takes. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, no surprises.

AI Integration

LLM features that actually ship — evals, fallbacks, cost controls. We've built RAG, agents, and voice for YC-backed teams.

Platform Scaling

Your product works but it's falling over. We refactor, harden, and scale without shutting down delivery.

Fractional CTO

Technical leadership for pre-Series-A founders. We own hiring, architecture, and vendor calls — you keep your focus.

Process

Four weeks to first deploy.

We split every engagement into four phases. You see a working thing by end of week four — always.

01 · Week 1
Compile

Intensive kickoff. We audit your stack, spec the critical path, and line up the build.

Output
Tech spec · arch diagram · sprint plan
02 · Week 2–3
Build

Heads-down engineering. Daily async updates, preview deploys on every PR, Slack huddle twice a week.

Output
Working product · CI/CD · preview URLs
03 · Week 4
Ship

Production deploy, load tests, and founder training. You walk out with a running system.

Output
Live deploy · runbook · analytics
04 · Week 5+
Iterate

Optional retainer. We stay embedded as your fractional team while you hire full-time.

Output
Feature velocity · on-call rota
Tech we bet on

Boring where it matters.
Sharp where it counts.

We pick tools that have survived a decade — then layer in new capability (LLMs, edge, Rust) where it materially changes the product.

What founders say when
the calls end.

“They shipped in six weeks what our previous agency failed to in nine months. Half the team, triple the speed, and the code actually reads like a human wrote it.”

"Litcode replaced a 6-person team and still shipped faster."

CTO · Fovea Health
"They write the kind of code I'd be happy to inherit."
