About & founders

Built by engineers who've been shipping production software for years.

Before founding Kryeo, our founders worked as freelance and contract engineers, embedded inside established development teams and agencies, delivering production software across ecommerce, SaaS, mobile, and custom platforms. Today we bring that experience directly to the companies we work with. No account managers, no bench of juniors, no layers in between.

How we got here

The experience is the founders', not a fabricated company history.

Years writing production code

Not managing headcount, not sitting in status meetings. Years actually shipping the software that runs a business.

Behind established teams

Freelance and contract work embedded inside product teams and agencies, building live ecommerce, SaaS, and custom platforms for other people's clients.

Learned how it's really delivered

The architecture calls, the on-call reality, the handovers that succeed or fail: the parts a portfolio page never shows.

Founded Kryeo, work directly

That experience now goes straight to our own clients. No account manager, no bench of juniors, no layers in between.

Why we exist

Kryeo is a software development agency that builds headless commerce, custom CMS platforms, and web & mobile apps, specializing in Medusa, Directus, and Next.js.

After years building software behind other people's teams, we kept seeing the same two broken paths for a client trying to get software built. Hire a team, and you wait months of interviewing and onboarding before you see anything work. Sign with a typical agency, and you end up renting your own product back on a proprietary platform that takes a cut of every sale.

The alternative we bet on is open source. Medusa for commerce, Directus for content, Next.js for the front end, all running in your accounts, none of them able to raise your rent or sunset your roadmap. You get an agency's speed without an agency's lock-in.

We are small on purpose. The people who architect your system are the people who write it, and the people who hand it over.

What we optimise for

Three commitments we hold to.

Proof over promises

Every claim on this site is meant to be checkable. Where we quote a number, it comes from a real project. Where we can't yet, we say so instead of rounding up.

Open-source native

Medusa, Directus, and Next.js: no proprietary platform in the critical path, no percentage of revenue, no vendor deciding when your roadmap ends.

Own your stack

Repositories, database, and hosting are in your name from day one. We document the architecture, walk your team through it, and leave you able to run it.

Who builds it

Two founders. Both still write the code.

8+ years of engineering experience between them, most of it spent behind other teams. No account managers relaying messages to a delivery team you never meet: you work with the people who architect and ship the thing.

4+ years experience

Co-founder · Engineering

Leads architecture and delivery, from data model to production. Spends most of his time in Medusa internals, Postgres query plans, and Next.js render paths.

Before Kryeo, spent 4+ years as a freelance and contract software engineer, embedded inside established product teams and agencies on ecommerce and high-traffic platform work. That's where the instinct for production-grade architecture comes from; now it goes straight into client projects, with no layers in between.

Co-founder · Product & Delivery

Runs discovery, scoping, and the client relationship. Turns a vague brief into an architecture doc and a staging URL you can click through in two weeks.

Before Kryeo, spent 4+ years freelancing and contracting for agencies and product teams, running discovery and delivery on content platforms and integration-heavy builds. Now runs that same process directly with Kryeo's clients, with no account manager relaying messages in between.

How we work

What every engagement includes.

Fixed scope and a fixed fee, never a percentage of revenue.
A clickable staging URL inside the first two weeks of the build.
Small, reviewable pull requests against a typed codebase.
A real handover: architecture docs, a walkthrough, infra in your name.
An optional retainer, kept because it helps, not because you're stuck.
