Software development studio
Software built carefully, shipped for the long run.
Renova Software Development LLC builds web applications, e-commerce storefronts, and mobile apps. We specialize in Shopify and in frontend engineering for consumer brands.
Selected work
Clients and products, shipped.
Three products in market, in Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Brazil. We design and build the thing a customer actually opens, then leave it in a state another team can run.

01 Web application · Amsterdam
Vibra
A membership and events platform for a community in Amsterdam. Public events, ticketing, and a city calendar sit beside a private member area with points, profiles, and a ranking. It is built for a phone on the way out, and it stays clear when a night is selling out.

02 Brand and web · Lisbon
LaraGo
A commercial site for a TVDE operator in greater Lisbon. LaraGo connects certified drivers with Uber and Bolt, and offers car owners a fixed weekly rent without day-to-day fleet management. Two offers, one standard of clarity: vehicles, terms, and the next step are on the page.

Hangar do Piloto
A study application for pilots preparing for ANAC theoretical exams. Practice tests follow the official format, the course is sequenced by subject, and a points program makes progress visible between sessions. It is live on the App Store, with Android following. The site is the front door. The app is the product.

What we do
-
Custom web application development
We design and build web applications end to end: customer portals, internal tools, dashboards, and the APIs behind them. Typical builds are TypeScript throughout: React or Astro on the frontend, Node.js services behind them, and PostgreSQL for data. We take responsibility for architecture, implementation, testing, and deployment, and we hand over code that another team can pick up without us.
-
E-commerce and Shopify development
Our deepest specialization. We build Shopify themes from the ground up in Liquid, develop headless storefronts on the Storefront API with Hydrogen or Next.js, and ship custom Shopify apps using the Admin API, App Bridge, and Polaris. That includes checkout customization with Shopify Functions and checkout UI extensions, complex product and metaobject modeling, third-party integrations, and performance work on Core Web Vitals for storefronts that carry real traffic.
-
Mobile development with React Native
We build iOS and Android applications from a single React Native codebase, using Expo where it fits and bare workflows where it does not. The work covers navigation and state architecture, native module integration when a feature needs it, offline behavior, push notifications, and release management through App Store Connect and Google Play.
-
Frontend engineering and design systems
For consumer brands, the storefront is the product. We build component libraries and design systems that hold up under real use: accessible components with documented props and states, typography and spacing scales, and CI checks that keep accessibility and performance from regressing. Our lead engineer has done this work inside large direct-to-consumer e-commerce brands, where frontend quality directly affects revenue.
-
Technical consulting and team leadership
Beyond hands-on development, we advise teams that already have engineers but need direction: architecture and code reviews, delivery process, technical hiring support, and interim technical leadership. This work is grounded in current, day-to-day experience leading a development team, not in past titles.
How we work
We keep engagements small and direct. You work with the engineer doing the work, not an account layer, and the process is built around shipping in small, reviewable increments.
-
Scoping
Every engagement starts with a short discovery conversation. We ask about the business problem before the technical one, then put the proposed scope, approach, and pricing in writing before any work begins.
-
Build
Work happens in your repositories from day one, in small pull requests with clear descriptions. You see progress as working software on a staging environment, not as status reports.
-
Ship and hand over
We deploy to production, document what we built and why, and make sure your team can operate and extend the system without depending on us. Ongoing support is available, but never required.
Engagement models
Fixed-scope projects for well-defined builds, and monthly retainers for ongoing development and support. Consulting is billed by the day.
Communication
Async by default: written updates, short recorded walkthroughs, and a weekly call when the project warrants it. We work with clients across US and European time zones.
Code ownership
You own everything we produce. Code lives in your version control, infrastructure runs in your accounts, and credentials stay with you.
Technologies
We pick tools deliberately and keep the list short. This is the stack we work in daily and are comfortable being accountable for in production.
