Engineering with heart.

Independent software engineering studio. We build applications, systems, and infrastructure — from mobile apps to distributed systems and performance-critical code.

Engineering, products, and knowledge.

01

Engineering Services

We design and build production-grade software across the stack.

Applications

  • Mobile (React Native, iOS, Android)
  • Frontend systems (React)

Backend & Infrastructure

  • APIs and distributed systems
  • Real-time systems
  • Cloud and self-hosted infra

Systems Programming

  • C++ and performance-critical code
  • Media pipelines (audio/video)
  • Memory and perf optimization

Specialized Domains

  • WebRTC and real-time comms
  • Peer-to-peer systems
  • Cryptography and security

We work on problems where architecture, performance, and correctness matter.

02

Products

We build our own technology — applications, developer tools, infrastructure systems, and experimental products.

Products let us explore new ideas and push beyond client constraints.

03

Technical Writing

Deep engineering content based on real systems we build — distributed systems, mobile architecture, React Native internals, and P2P architectures.

We write to explain how systems actually work.

04 Coming 2026

Teaching & Webinars

Live sessions and workshops on systems engineering, P2P architectures, React Native internals, and performance optimization.

We teach the concepts we use every day — from fundamentals to advanced system design.

We are not limited to a specific stack or domain — we choose the right tools for the problem.

Built to explore.

heartIT is an independent engineering studio focused on building serious software without compromise. We work across the stack — from user-facing applications to backend systems and low-level performance-critical code.

We have deep expertise in areas like real-time systems, peer-to-peer architectures, and distributed systems, but we are not limited to any single domain.

Inspired by the Heart Pirates, we operate as a small, independent crew: exploring new technologies, building original systems, and sharing knowledge openly.

No unnecessary complexity. No shallow engineering. Just well-designed systems.
