Four Commitments You Can Check

Expensive software failures usually start before the first sprint: vague scope, anonymous staffing, quality assumptions nobody wrote down. So instead of a values list, here are working rules you can verify — in the contract, in the repository, or in the interviews you run yourself.

Contact Us
01

You approve the people

CVs first, then your own technical interview. Nobody joins your team without your sign-off — a rule, not a courtesy. If someone leaves or is out sick, the replacement goes through the same interview.

02

You inspect the process

Direct access to every repository, sprint board, and standup from week one. Nothing merges without code review and a green CI run. There is no client-facing version of the truth.

03

You own the code

100% of the source, documentation, and intellectual property is yours from the first line. It's a standard clause in every CQUELLE contract.

04

AI inside guardrails

Our developers use Claude and Cursor daily — under project rules, automated tests, and human review. That's where “up to 40% faster” comes from: boilerplate and test scaffolding accelerate, code review never gets skipped.

What Our Clients Say

Rated 5.0 across every project by our clients.

It's been a pleasure working with CQUELLE team. In an era where AI tools can do everything, it's hard to find people that can understand the business need and ask the right questions. A great profile for a startup where things are not perfectly square and a lot must be achieved.

Service & Expertise

Full-Stack Software Development

.NET and Python on the backend, React and Next.js on the frontend, and the cloud infrastructure in between — one team owning a feature from database to browser.

Solution Design

The work before the code: architecture, integration boundaries, and build-vs-buy decisions. We ask the questions a CTO would ask, then write the answers down where your team can find them.

Product Development

Concept to production with a roadmap you can hold us to. The definition of done includes tests, documentation, and a handover your own engineers could take over.

How We Work

From first call to a team shipping code in 2–4 weeks. Here is what actually happens.

  1. 01
    Week 1

    Discovery & Scoping

    A technical discovery session on your product and architecture. The week ends with a concrete proposal: roles, seniority levels, and a projected timeline.

  2. 02
    Weeks 2–3

    Team Assembly & Vetting

    Technical screening and code-review exercises on our side; you interview the candidates yourself. Nobody joins the team without your sign-off.

  3. 03
    Weeks 3–4

    Onboarding & Integration

    The team gets access to your repositories and studies the codebase, working in the tools you already use: Jira, Azure DevOps, Linear. First code ships in week 4.

  4. 04
    Ongoing

    Sprints & Scaling

    Daily standups and a sprint cadence on your schedule. Add people within 1–2 weeks; scale down with 30 days' notice. The code and IP are 100% yours from the first line.

About CQUELLE

Boutique on Purpose

CQUELLE was founded in Hamburg in 2019 and has stayed deliberately small since. Ievgen has been writing code since 2005 — Langate, DataArt, IEA Hamburg — so the person quoting your project can also read its pull requests. The team stays senior, and the projects stay ones we'd put our names on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CQUELLE do?
CQUELLE is a boutique custom software development company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, with distributed engineering teams in Ukraine, Poland, and Romania. We build software for healthcare, fintech, edtech, insurtech, and enterprise clients on a .NET, Python, and Next.js/React stack, including AI features built on large language models.
Where is CQUELLE based, and what time zones do you work in?
CQUELLE is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, with development teams in Ukraine, Poland, and Romania. The teams operate in CET/EET time zones with 6–8 hours of overlap with US East Coast business hours, so European and US clients get same-day collaboration.
What technologies does CQUELLE specialize in?
Our core stack is .NET and Python for backend services, with Next.js and React on the frontend. Where a product calls for it, we integrate large language models — Claude, GPT, Gemini — into the same stack. We build web and mobile applications, cloud infrastructure, and integrations around this core rather than spreading thin across every framework on the market, and we maintain existing Angular applications.
How do I engage CQUELLE — a dedicated team or a fixed project?
Two models. A dedicated development team works as a long-term extension of your own team, building deep product knowledge over time — best when the roadmap is open-ended. Project-based outsourcing covers full-cycle delivery of a defined scope with a fixed outcome. The right one depends on whether you are staffing an ongoing product or shipping a bounded piece of work.
Do I own the source code and intellectual property CQUELLE builds?
Yes. 100% of the source code, documentation, and intellectual property belongs to you from the first line of code. This is a standard clause in every CQUELLE contract — there is no IP held back at project completion.
Which industries does CQUELLE serve, and how do you handle compliance?
We focus on healthcare, fintech, edtech, insurtech, and enterprise clients. All work is GDPR compliant, and we can accommodate additional requirements including HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 depending on your industry.
