ECITech
Studio · Founded 2024

An independent
digital studio,
intentionally small.

ECITech is an independent digital studio. We build sites, workflow automation, and AI integration for mid-market businesses — about three to five projects in flight at a time, all run personally by the founder.

A note from the founder

I've been writing code for a decade.
I want to write it for fewer, better clients.

Before ECITech I shipped systems inside BCG Gamma, Juniper Networks, Cisco, and Google. The work was big and the calendars were rigid. I wanted to bring that engineering discipline somewhere smaller — close to actual operators, where a single weekend of work still moves the business on Monday.

So ECITech is a studio of one, plus a trusted network. Designers, copywriters, devops engineers — activated when the scope asks for them, not held on payroll because they fit a slide. Every project gets the founder, and every founder is mine to disappoint.

We don't take every project. We choose work where the trajectory is clear: from a site, to the systems that run it, to the agents that scale it.

How we work

Four principles.

Not a manifesto. The four rules we actually live by when scoping a project, choosing a stack, and saying no.

  1. IPRINCIPLE

    Founder-led

    Every project is run by the person who pitched it. No account managers, no junior handoffs, no sales floor.

  2. IIPRINCIPLE

    Intentionally small

    Three to five projects in flight at any time. We turn work down when the calendar is honest.

  3. IIIPRINCIPLE

    Honest scope

    Fixed fees, written scope, weekly demos. If AI is not the right tool, we say so — and point you elsewhere.

  4. IVPRINCIPLE

    Bilingual delivery

    English, Russian, Arabic. We build the same quality for every client, regardless of language or sector.

We'd rather end a call honestly than start one with theatre.
