What we do
A team you can hand a whole platform to.
Not a staffing shop — a studio. We take the ambiguous idea, shape the plan, and ship the product. Bring us a napkin sketch or a stalled roadmap.
- 01
Planning & product strategy
기획 first. We turn a vague ambition into a scoped, sequenced plan — the problem, the users, the wedge, the roadmap, and the metrics that prove it is working.
- 02
Full-solution software platforms
Web, mobile and backend as one system. Next.js and native apps, APIs, databases, geospatial and realtime — architected to grow, not just to demo.
- 03
AI platforms, done responsibly
Agentic and generative features that ship: retrieval, tool-calling, evaluation, and on-device / bring-your-own-key options so intelligence is private and affordable.
- 04
Design & launch
Interface, motion and story — through app-store submission and go-live. We sweat the last mile because that is where products win or stall.
Selected work
Platforms we are building.
Each of these is a bet on the same idea: intelligence belongs where people, places and data already are — including the device in your hand.

Why us
Fifteen-plus years of North American engineering leadership — pointed at your product.
Picasso Soft is led by a technologist who has spent 15+ years as a Tech Lead and VP of Engineering in North America: building and running teams, owning architecture, and shipping software that carries real load. You get that judgment on the plan and in the codebase — not just on a kickoff call.
- Tech Lead & VP of Engineering — 15+ years, North America
- Architecture and delivery for products under real load
- From zero-to-one planning to scaling teams and systems
- Hands-on: the plan and the code come from the same people
How we work
Senior hands, the whole way down.
The people who plan your platform are the people who build it. No hand-offs to a junior bench.
Frame
We pressure-test the idea, define the wedge, and write the plan you can raise money or align a team around.
Prototype
A real, running slice — not slides. You feel the product early and we de-risk the hardest part first.
Build
Production architecture from day one: typed, tested, observable, and ready for the next ten features.
Launch & iterate
Ship to real users, measure, and turn the roadmap. We stay for the part after v1.
The through-line
“We build platforms where intelligence meets place, data and people — designed to run anywhere, including the device in your hand.”
Four products, one thesis. Data tooling that lives on your phone. Social graphs anchored to real places. An AI that narrates the street. A commons for models you run yourself. Picasso Soft exists to plan and build that next layer — and to build it for partners who want the same thing.
