The Builder
I'm Roman, active duty Guardian. I run BuildingRome, a one-person studio that ships real products on real timelines. Four live products across three platforms, zero vaporware. Not a side hustle. A system.
The Story
In 2025, I launched Salute to Suit, a native iOS app built in Swift, backed by a full web platform, and later ported to Android. Every platform, shipped in-house.
From there I kept building. Four live products, a shared infrastructure, and every new project ships faster than the last.
I don't just write code. I build complete products. Four live apps across three platforms aren't portfolio pieces. They're proof that when I say I'll ship, it gets done. No excuses. If you're tired of vaporware and half-finished promises, you're in the right place.
The Approach
Fixed-price. Mission-focused.
Scope creep is a choice, and I don’t make it. Every project is quoted upfront. I absorb the estimation risk because I trust my process. You get a finished product, not a growing invoice.
Direct comms. No middlemen.
You talk directly to the person building your product. No layers, no delays, no game of telephone.
The 40% head start.
I don’t start from zero. With four shipped products, the common hurdles like authentication, payment logic, and App Store approvals are already solved. This foundation means fewer surprises and a faster path to launch for your project.
30 days of post-launch support.
Every build includes 30 days of hands-on support after launch. I don’t disappear after the deploy. Your project stays supported until it’s running smoothly.

A note on service
I'm active duty. If you're military, veteran, police, or a first responder, you shouldn't have to pay a civilian tax on your ambition. Tell me who you are. I'll take care of the rest.
