Software,quietly & well-made.

I’m Andrii — known online as igyVigy. For twelve years I’ve been shipping apps that founders and operators actually keep using: mobile, web, backend, and the occasional multiplayer game server. I take on a handful of projects each year and treat each one like my own.

What I do.

Six things, done with care. Pick one or stitch them together — most projects need a few at once.

01

Mobile apps

iOS, Android and cross-platform. Native feel, offline-first, ship-fast.

  • Swift / Kotlin
  • React Native
  • Expo · EAS
02

Web apps

From marketing pages that convert to dashboards that scale to a million users.

  • Next.js · Remix
  • React · Svelte
  • Edge runtimes
03

Backend & APIs

REST, GraphQL, gRPC. Designed to grow with your team, not against it.

  • Node · Go · Rust
  • Postgres · Redis
  • Event-driven
04

Game servers

High-throughput multiplayer infra. Authoritative tick, anti-cheat, persistence.

  • UDP · WebTransport
  • Rust · C++
  • K8s · bare-metal
05

MVP builds

0-to-1 in 8 to 12 weeks. From scribbled napkin to revenue-ready product.

  • Discovery sprint
  • Weekly demos
  • Hand-off ready
06

Architecture review

Audit, scale, untangle. A senior set of eyes on your gnarliest problems.

  • Codebase audit
  • Performance
  • Hiring & onboarding

The toolkit.

Pragmatic choices. I’ll use what fits, not what’s trending. These are the tools I reach for most.

The person
behind the
handle.

Not a developer at an agency. Not a freelancer between gigs. A senior engineer who chooses his work carefully and finishes what he starts.

I grew up tinkering with private game servers in eastern Europe — figuring out how to keep a hundred players in sync over a 56k modem turned out to be a surprisingly good foundation for everything that came after.

Twelve years in, I’ve built apps that get used every morning by yoga instructors, infrastructure that runs while gamers sleep, and tooling for teams of two and teams of two hundred. The throughline is the same: I sweat the details no one asked me to sweat.

I work directly with founders and tech leads, take a maximum of three projects at a time, and bill weekly in plain English. No agency overhead, no pre-sales theater, no hidden subcontractors.

Kind words.

A few of the people I’ve worked with recently. The full list is longer — happy to make introductions when it gets serious.

Andrii rebuilt our auth and payments layer in three weeks. The old team had been on it for nine months.

He treats your codebase the way a luthier treats a violin. Tight, careful, deeply considered.

Daniyar Beksultanov

Our server hardware bill dropped 62% after his rewrite. The community noticed before we announced it.

Most contractors disappear after delivery. Andrii stayed available — answered three product questions last week.
