Software studio · Washington, USA
We build web and mobile products that ship.
Marina View Labs is a small studio working end to end — iOS and Android apps, real-time systems, and AI-native tooling. Fewer clients, taken further.
What we do
Mobile apps
Cross-platform iOS and Android built on React Native and Expo — from first commit through App Store and Play Store review. Payments, auth, push, and localization included, not bolted on.
- React Native
- Expo
- EAS Build
- App Store review
Web products
Full-stack applications on Next.js and TypeScript. Type-safe from database to component, deployed on infrastructure that stays cheap while you're small and holds up when you're not.
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- tRPC
- Postgres
AI-native features
LLM features that survive contact with real users: streaming, tool calling, evaluation, and cost control. On-device inference when the network isn't a given.
- Vercel AI SDK
- On-device LLMs
- Agents
- Evals
Real-time systems
Multiplayer state, live updates, and event-driven backends. WebSockets and server-sent events with the reconnection and consistency edge cases actually handled.
- WebSockets
- SSE
- Redis
- Event sourcing
How we work together
Build a product
A defined scope taken from idea to shipped, typically six to twelve weeks. Fixed milestones, weekly demos, you own the code.
Join a team
Embedded senior engineering on an existing codebase. Monthly retainer, part-time or full-time.
Unblock something
A short, sharp engagement on a specific problem — a stalled App Store submission, a performance cliff, an architecture review.
About
A studio built for direct work.
Marina View Labs is deliberately small. You work directly with the engineers building your product — there is no account layer between the conversation and the code.
The work spans consumer mobile apps with subscription billing, real-time multiplayer backends, and language-model features that have to hold up under real usage rather than in a demo. That range is the point: most products need a team that can move between the app, the API, and the infrastructure without a handoff at each boundary.
Engagements are scoped so you always own the result — your repositories, your cloud accounts, your App Store listings. If we stop working together, nothing about your product depends on us.
