We don't build toy MVPs or bill endless agency hours. Choose the specialized sprint built for your exact business model:
Production RAG, Supabase pgvector semantic search, frontier LLM tool calling, prompt caching discounts (90% savings), and zero-latency SSE token streaming.
Connecting buyers and sellers without custom escrow nightmares. Automated Stripe Connect Accounts v2 onboarding, commission split take rates, faceted search, and dispute resolution.
Eliminate brittle spreadsheet band-aids and extortionate $50/user/mo Retool licensing. Bespoke operations portals, client deliverable sign-offs, and field audit tools with strict PostgreSQL RLS.
Stuck at the 80% wall in Lovable, Cursor, or Bolt? We salvage your UI, enforce strict Supabase Row-Level Security, normalize messy database schemas, set up CI/CD, and fix Core Web Vitals.
From evaluating LLM feasibility to enterprise multi-tenant architectures, we provide honest, hands-on engineering consulting for ambitious teams.

Hi, I'm Tudor Barbu, founder of Tessellate Labs. When you hire a typical agency, you pay high retainers for junior developers learning on your dime while an account manager relays messages.
With our $5,000 sprint, I personally architect and build your product. We collaborate directly via a dedicated Slack channel. Architectural questions and edge cases are resolved in minutes, not next week's steering committee.

Answer a few quick questions. I'll reply with a scoped MVP plan (what to build first, what to cut, and next steps). No calls unless you want one.
Prefer async? That's perfect. You can keep everything over email.
