Apps without
borders.

Five senior engineers in Heinsberg. Twenty years collective experience. Mobile, web, Shopify.

What we build.

Mobile

iOS and Android, native.

Swift and Kotlin. Push, background work, offline-first. Store-ready by handover, with the release notes already written.

Web

Production-grade web apps.

React, Astro, and Next.js. Static where it can be, server-rendered where it must be. Built to load in tenths of a second.

Shopify

Themes, apps, checkouts.

Shopify Plus-grade engineering. We rebuild themes that won't slow down at scale and apps that pass review the first time.

Approach
01

Scope, honestly.

Two senior engineers spend a week understanding your product. We come back with a written plan, a budget, and what we recommend against.

02

Ship in weeks, not quarters.

One team, one timeline. We work in two-week increments, deploying to your staging environment from day one.

03

Hand off without you watching.

Code, tests, infra, runbooks. We document everything and stay on retainer for the first six months — quietly.

What we believe
  1. 01

    Senior-only teams. Five senior engineers, zero juniors on your build. You get the people who've shipped before, not the ones learning on your budget.

  2. 02

    Two-week cycles. We deploy to your staging on day one and iterate every two weeks. No quarterly delivery dates.

  3. 03

    Code you can read after we leave. Documented, tested, idiomatic. Your future hire should pick it up without us.

  4. 04

    Honest scope. We tell you what to build less of, before we tell you what to build.

How we work together
Audit 1 week

Read your code, then your roadmap.

A senior pair reviews your codebase, infrastructure, and plan. You get a written report and a 30-minute call.

Request an audit
Sprint 4–12 weeks

Fixed scope, fixed price.

One team, one timeline, one shipped deliverable. We bid the work, we ship the work.

Plan a sprint
Embedded 3–6 months

We join your team.

Shared standups, our engineers under your tickets, two-week cadence. Your roadmap, our hands.

From the studio
An app earns its place on the home screen, not in a portfolio. We build the ones people open on day two — and still open a year later.

Common questions

Before you write to us.

What if we already have an engineering team?
We work alongside them. Many engagements start as augmentation or audit, not replacement.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full transfer on delivery, including infrastructure, runbooks, and CI.
How do you bill?
Sprints are fixed price. Embedded work is monthly. Audits are flat-fee. No retainers we don't earn.
Will the same engineers stay on the project?
Yes. Sequator only assigns senior engineers, and we don't swap them mid-engagement.
