A studio that builds software like it has to run on Monday.
Segovax is a senior engineering studio for production software. Founded in 2025, operating as a small team of senior engineers. Four products of our own keep us sharp. Client engagements span continents, run remote, and ship to the same standard.
Why this studio exists.
Most software studios sell a process. The process gets pitched, then the work gets done by whoever is cheapest in the staffing roster, and the result is a codebase the client owns but nobody wants to inherit.
Segovax sells the work directly. The engineer who scopes the work is the engineer who writes the migration. The same studio that ships LandingRoles ships your platform. There is no junior tier, no contractor swap-out behind a curtain, no transformation deck.
The wedge is simple. Most studios cannot show end-to-end products they fully own. We can. The four products on the home page are how we keep the craft sharp between client engagements. They run in production, on our own infrastructure, with real users and real bills. Whatever standard we hold them to is the standard your codebase gets.
The operating principles.
- Read the codebase before writing the proposal.
Estimates are guesses until we have read the actual code. We will sometimes ask for repo access in the first conversation. If we cannot read it, we will not pretend we can scope it.
- Ship the smallest defensible change first.
On rescue projects especially, the temptation is to rewrite. The discipline is to identify the one change that unblocks everything else and ship that, in production, before touching anything else.
- Document what we found.
Every engagement leaves behind a written record of what the codebase actually does, where the rough edges are, and what the next engineer will need to know. This is not optional and it is not billable as separate scope. It is part of the work.
- Treat operational concerns as features.
Logging, deploys, backups, observability, incident runbooks, LLM evals. These are first-class. A feature that ships without monitoring is half built.
- Decline contracts that do not fit.
We say no to projects we cannot do well. This protects the client from a bad outcome and protects the studio from work it will resent. The studio is small on purpose.
The four products as proof.
LandingRoles is a programmatic SEO job aggregator with over 100,000 active listings, indexed daily, served from server-rendered pages, distributed twelve times daily across social. DocGaze is AI-powered document analytics, built on TimescaleDB and a queue-driven LLM pipeline. CommitLore turns Git history into LinkedIn, X, and dev.to content with provider-agnostic LLM fallover. Tidspor is a Git-aware time tracker for developers, contractors, and AI coding sessions, currently in active development.
Each one is a different bet. Different stack, different operational profile, different audience. Together they keep us honest about what production software actually costs.
When a client asks how we would handle background jobs at scale, we have an answer because BullMQ is processing scrape and embedding jobs for DocGaze right now. When the question is about queue back-pressure or schema evolution under load, we have shipped both, in production, for ourselves. The products are the proof.
Engineers who scope, build, ship, and operate.
Founded by Aniefon Umanah, senior full-stack engineer with 7+ years of production experience across NestJS, Laravel, Vue, Nuxt, Next, PostgreSQL, Redis, Meilisearch, and modern AI integration patterns. Segovax now operates as a small team of senior engineers who collaborate on the work that needs more than one set of hands. No juniors, no offshoring tier, no contractor swap-out.
What we do not do.
We do not staff for headcount. We do not run a junior bench. We do not subcontract to teams the client never meets. We do not ship a transformation deliverable disguised as software. We do not sell hours; we sell shipped systems. We do not write proposals longer than the eventual statement of work. We do not pad estimates to absorb a junior tier.
If any of this sounds like a constraint we cannot afford, the studio is not the right shape for that engagement. Several other shops do that work well. We will recommend one.
Small by design. Senior only. Shipped by the same hands that scoped it.
