The Studio
A one-person app studio, run by an active duty engineer. Twelve products built since January 2025. iOS, Android, web. Fixed-price, in-house, end-to-end.
The System
The building started in January 2025. One thesis: real software, shipped fast, by one engineer, end-to-end.
In 2026, the work became BuildingRome. Twelve products built: ten on the App Store, ten on Google Play, one on the Alexa Skill Store, and all twelve on the web. Each one runs on a shared foundation that grows with every release. Authentication, payments, App Store submissions, deploys, monitoring. All solved once. Reused on the next build.
A system. Built to ship, built to last.
The Approach
Fixed-price. Mission-focused.
Scope creep is a choice, and we don’t make it. Every project is quoted upfront. We absorb the estimation risk because we trust the 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.
We don’t start from zero. With twelve products built, 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.
30 days of post-launch support.
Every build includes 30 days of hands-on support after launch. We don’t disappear after the deploy. Your project stays supported until it’s running smoothly.
Security is scope, not an upsell.
Third-party access uses official sign-in flows, so we never see or store your users’ passwords. Credentials stay encrypted and server-side, out of reach of the browser. Data collection stays limited to what a shipped feature actually needs. That is the default on every build.
The Tools

The Builder
Roman. Active duty US Space Force Guardian. Engineer. Program manager.
A decade of military discipline applied to software delivery: clear scope, fixed price, ship the thing. BuildingRome is what happens when that discipline meets a builder who refuses to ship vaporware.
When the studio says it'll ship, it gets done. Every product above is proof.
Let's schedule a call to see how the studio can help architect your vision.
