Software studio · Metro Detroit
Software,made to measure.
We design, build, and rescue software for companies that notice the details. New platforms, legacy codebases brought forward, and the stubborn bugs, slow pages, and weak copy that quietly cost you customers.

The practice
Three ways we work. One standard.
When off-the-shelf stops fitting.
Custom web applications, customer portals, commerce, and internal tools, designed around how your business actually runs. Built so the next engineer can maintain it without calling us.
More on bespoke software- Web and mobile applications
- Commerce and customer portals
- Internal tools and integrations
- Fractional technical leadership
Legacy code, brought forward.
Your system works. It is just getting harder to change. We upgrade frameworks, add TypeScript and tests, and untangle the parts everyone is afraid to touch. No risky rewrite, and no frozen roadmap.
More on modernization- Framework and dependency upgrades
- JavaScript to TypeScript migrations
- Test coverage and CI/CD
- Incremental rewrites with no downtime
The details that cost you customers.
Some engagements take a week, not a quarter. We find and fix the bug, speed up the slow page, sharpen the copy, and make sure the right people can find you in search.
More on refinement- Bug triage and fixes
- Core Web Vitals and accessibility
- Conversion copywriting
- Technical and local SEO

Method
A quiet, exacting process.
You work directly with the engineer doing the work. No account managers, no hand-offs, no surprises on the invoice.
- 01
Diagnose
We listen first, then read the code. You get a written assessment of what is there, what is at risk, and what matters most.
- 02
Propose
A defined scope, timeline, and estimate, written in plain English and agreed before any work begins.
- 03
Build
Short cycles with working demos. You see real progress, not status reports.
- 04
Hand over
Documentation, tests, and a walkthrough, so your team owns what we built. Ongoing care is available if you want it.

Questions
Asked, and answered.
The things most teams want to know before the first call. Anything else, ask the founder directly.
What does Shumunov Solutions do?
Shumunov Solutions is a founder-led software studio in Metro Detroit. We build bespoke web and mobile software, modernize legacy codebases without a risky rewrite, and refine existing products: bug fixes, Core Web Vitals, accessibility, conversion copy, and technical and local SEO.
Who will I actually work with?
You work directly with the engineer doing the work. There are no account managers and no hand-offs between a sales team and a delivery team, so the person who scopes the project is the person who builds it.
Do you only work with Detroit companies?
No. We meet in person across Metro Detroit, including Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties, and work remotely with teams anywhere in the United States who want a partner in an Eastern time zone.
Will you rewrite our legacy application from scratch?
Rarely. Most aging systems are better served by upgrading frameworks and dependencies, migrating JavaScript to TypeScript, adding tests and CI/CD, and rewriting the riskiest parts incrementally with no downtime. Your roadmap keeps moving while the codebase improves.
How do projects start, and how is pricing set?
Every engagement starts with a diagnosis: we listen, read the code, and give you a written assessment of what is there, what is at risk, and what matters most. You then get a defined scope, timeline, and estimate in plain English, agreed before any work begins.
Can you take on a small fix instead of a full project?
Yes. Some engagements take a week, not a quarter: fixing a stubborn bug, speeding up a slow page, sharpening copy that is not converting, or making sure the right people can find you in search.
What technologies do you work with?
Day to day: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Laravel and PHP, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker, and React Native. We choose tools your team can maintain after we leave.
What happens after launch?
We hand over documentation, tests, and a walkthrough so your team owns what we built. Ongoing care is available if you want it, but you are never locked in.
