About Meniva
An engineering studio that makes complex things work.
Meniva is an independent, founder-led software engineering and AI studio based in Budapest. We build custom software, modernize legacy systems and put AI, data and cloud work into production for startups, SMEs and product companies that need technical execution more than another strategy deck.
Who we work with
Teams with more roadmap than engineering capacity.
Founders turning a validated idea into a product. Operations leads who have outgrown spreadsheets. CTOs with a legacy system nobody wants to touch and a team that is busy shipping features. Companies that want AI in a workflow, not in a press release.
What they have in common is a concrete technical problem and a preference for working directly with the people solving it.
How we are set up
Small by design, senior by default.
Meniva is deliberately small. The founder leads every engagement and does the work, scaling with trusted specialists when a project needs them. Client work is credited honestly: Greehill was delivered through WeSpeakAI.
Location
Budapest, Hungary
Working remotely with clients across Europe, in English and Hungarian. CET working hours.
Focus
Software, data, AI
Custom development, automation, data platforms, cloud and the modernization of systems that already run a business.
Model
Direct and senior
You work with the engineers doing the work. Code and infrastructure live in your accounts from the first commit.
What we believe
Three things we optimise for.
- Practical engineering
- The simplest architecture that solves the problem, with proven tools your team can hire for and operate.
- Clear communication
- Scope, trade-offs and progress in writing. Bad news early, with options attached.
- Built for maintainability
- Tests, pipelines and documentation are part of the deliverable, so the system outlives the engagement.
