US Studio/Senior-Led/Engineered

    Enterprise-grade software, without the enterprise bill.

    Devlime Labs is a US software engineering and AI studio. Founder-led, twenty years of engineering, and custom systems for the businesses that were priced out of them.

    Media, healthcare, govtech, aerospace, and products of our own. Different industries, same work: understanding a business well enough to see what is actually broken.

    Two clients, in depth.

    What the problem actually was, what got built, and what shipped — including the parts that are still in progress.

    Heart & Science International — the site we built

    Heart & Science International/Professional services

    Contained the compromise, rebuilt with nothing left to attack, in under a month

    Heart & Science International's site had been broken into. DevLime shut off the attacker's access within days, then rebuilt the site rather than patching it. What replaced it is a set of plain files with no content system, no database and no login page behind them. A first version was live in nine days and the finished site followed two weeks later. The new homepage ships 89% less HTML than the page it replaced and asks nothing of any other company's servers.

    Rebuild time

    Work started 17 August and the last pre-launch fix landed 9 September.

    89% smaller

    Homepage HTML

    51 KB on the new homepage, against 462 KB on the page it replaced.

    9 days

    First version live

    Live on hosting 26 August, with content still moving for two weeks after that.

    Third-party scripts

    The homepage loads one 6.5 KB file of ours and nothing from another company's servers.

    Nothing

    Left to break into

    No content system, no database and no login page; what ships is plain HTML, CSS and images.

    Challenge

    The site ran on WordPress. That means a program on the server, a database behind it, a login page anyone can find, and third-party plugin code running on every visit. Those four things have to be watched, patched and defended, forever. The site was broken into. Cleaning up the installation would have left all four exactly where they were, and the next attacker would find the same four doors. Whatever replaced it also had to stand up to scrutiny: this is a firm whose buyers check before they sign.

    Approach

    Containment came first: shut off the attacker's access and clear out what had been injected. The rebuild then made the decision that shaped everything after it — take the machinery away rather than defend it. Every page is now built once, on a developer's machine, into a plain file the server only has to hand over. The contact form posts straight to a hosted service, so even that runs nothing of ours. The browser is instructed to ignore anything embedded in a page. An automated check runs before each deploy, so a stray script, a borrowed asset or a broken link fails the build.

    Outcome

    The site is live at hsiorg.com across 20 pages. Its federal contracting section links the firm's live SAM.gov record and SBA certifications profile. A government buyer can verify the credentials rather than take the page's word for them. The homepage loads one small file of ours and nothing from anywhere else: no analytics, no tracking pixels, no borrowed fonts. A pre-launch accessibility review closed the last findings, including label text that was too faint to read comfortably. Releases are made without any stored password or key, so the project holds no credential worth stealing.

    Accordo Chiropractic/Healthcare

    Hours of rescheduling down to minutes, without changing the practice's EHR

    Accordo Chiropractic books patients onto treatment plans that run for months, so one change to a patient's schedule can mean reopening every remaining appointment by hand. ChiroTouch, the practice's system of record, has no bulk reschedule. DevLime built a private web app that reads and writes the same appointment records ChiroTouch does. Staff see exactly what will change, and the whole set commits in one go. By the practice's account, a job that took hours now takes minutes. Nothing was migrated and no one had to learn a replacement EHR.

    Private practice software — no public site.

    2–3 minutes

    Whole-plan reschedule

    By the practice's account, a reschedule that used to take a multi-hour sitting now takes two to three minutes, preview included.

    Weeks a year

    Staff time returned

    The practice estimates the app takes tens of hours of scheduling work off the front desk each week, which adds up to multiple weeks over a year.

    4+ hours

    Per holiday, by hand

    A pre-project review of the practice's workflow put a single holiday's manual rescheduling at four hours or more.

    No migration

    EHR stays put

    The practice keeps ChiroTouch and every appointment in it. It had already tried moving to the vendor's cloud product once without success, so staying put also meant no conversion project and no second system to pay for.

    Same records

    For what comes next

    The practice's custom software, now in progress, is built on the records the EHR already uses. Custom software for a single clinic used to be out of reach on cost; AI-assisted engineering is what makes it possible here.

    Challenge

    A patient starting a treatment plan is scheduled months ahead, often more than once a week. Then something moves: a new job, a vacation, a holiday closure. Without a bulk tool, every remaining appointment has to be opened and moved one at a time. Each move needs a check against the office's open days, how full the target slot is, and whether the patient is already booked that day. An on-site review of the practice's workflow, done before this project, put a single holiday's rescheduling at four hours or more.

    Approach

    The app replaces nothing. It works directly on the appointment records the practice already has, exactly where they sit. Staff pick a patient, choose how the plan should move, and see every proposed change before anything is written. Each one runs through the same scheduling rules a person would apply, and anything that collides is flagged with the next workable date beside it. The whole set saves at once or not at all, so a failure leaves the schedule untouched rather than half-moved. The EHR's own settings are read, never rewritten.

    Outcome

    The app runs on the practice's own hardware, in the office, alongside the system it reads. A whole plan now moves in one submission, with a preview first. By the practice's account, a reschedule that used to take a multi-hour sitting now takes two to three minutes, and the front desk gets tens of hours of scheduling work back every week. A single scan finds every future appointment that falls on a closed day, across all patients, and proposes a new date for each. Bulk cancellation is specified but not yet built. The wider practice software, now in progress, is built on the same records, so there is no migration waiting at the end of it.

    05Approach

    Four steps, no theatre.

    01

    Understand

    A working conversation, not a discovery deck. We map what the business actually does before anyone writes a line of code.

    02

    Architect

    The simplest system that solves the real problem. Fewer moving parts, clear boundaries, nothing built for a scale you do not have.

    03

    Build

    AI-assisted development with senior review on everything, plus AI built into the product where it belongs. That is how enterprise-grade work fits a small-business budget.

    04

    Run

    Launch is the middle, not the end. Monitoring, iteration and the maintenance that keeps the thing working a year from now.
