A small workshop · Antananarivo, Madagascar

Software,made withunreasonable care.

We're three friends in a small workshop in Madagascar, building web, desktop and mobile applications for companies abroad. We charge a fraction of what a London studio would. We hold the work to the standard a London studio should.

01 / About
Hello.

We're Hazenfield — a workshop of three.

We met where most engineers meet — over a hard problem none of us could solve alone. We've been working together since, first as colleagues on European product teams, now as friends building a studio out of a shared room in Antananarivo.

The arrangement is unusual: we charge less than studios half our experience, because we live where rent is reasonable and we like it that way. What you save is not on care. It's on geography.

Stubborn01

We're stubborn about quality.

Tests get written before the feature. Coverage gates are not negotiable. We'd rather miss a deadline than ship something we know is fragile.

Together02

We work in the same room.

Most days. We argue, we disagree, we end up with code that's better than any one of us would have written alone.

Grateful03

We don't take this for granted.

We get to make beautiful things, with our friends, for clients who trust us. That's not a small thing. It shows up in the work.

02 / What we make

Applications. End to end.

From the shape of the idea to the green pipeline that ships it. We don't subcontract, we don't hand off, we don't disappear after launch.

01

Web applications

React, Next.js, Remix, Vue. Server-rendered, edge-deployed, type-checked from database to button.

TypeScriptReactNext.jsPostgrestRPC
02

Mobile applications

Native-feeling iOS & Android from a single codebase, or fully native when the problem demands it.

React NativeExpoSwiftKotlin
03

Desktop applications

Cross-platform desktop with native fidelity. Installers, auto-update, code signing — the unglamorous bits, done right.

04

Full-stack systems

APIs, data pipelines, authentication, observability, infrastructure. The invisible scaffolding that decides if it holds.

03 / How we work

Our standards, in plain language.

We're not religious about process — we're religious about the work being good. Process is just what's left when you write down how we keep it good.

01

We listen first.

A week of conversation. Not a Zoom that ends with action items — a real talk where we figure out what you actually need (which is rarely what you first asked for).

02

We draw before we build.

Architecture diagrams, data flow, failure modes. If we can't draw the system, we can't build it. The drawing is the contract.

03

We test as we go.

Trunk-based, small pull requests, pair review. Every merge requires a green pipeline — unit, integration, end-to-end, type checks, linters, coverage floor.

04

We measure before we ship.

Automated QA suites, accessibility audits, performance budgets. A build only goes out when it earns its way through every gate.

05

We watch after we ship.

Logs, traces, alerts. You should know a regression exists before your users do. We should know before you.

06

We stick around.

Documentation, retainers, careful handover. We don't disappear the day the invoice clears.

04 / The three of us

Three people. Hover to say hi.

You'll work with all of us, on every project. There's no second tier, no junior offshoring, no account manager between you and the work.

Full-stack & systems

[ Founder ]

Ten years inside European product teams, shipping to millions. Cares about type systems, testing strategy, and the quiet architecture that makes a codebase a pleasure to come back to a year later. Spends weekends reading too much sci-fi.

Mobile & frontend

[ Engineer ]

Shipped six mobile apps in production. Cares about motion, haptics, and the hundred small decisions that separate an app people tolerate from one they reach for. Bakes pastries on Sundays — surprisingly relevant to interface design.

QA, DevOps & infrastructure

[ Engineer ]

Lives at the intersection of tests, pipelines and infrastructure. Writes CI scripts with the care most engineers reserve for their public APIs. Grows orchids — would tell you they require less attention than a Kubernetes cluster.

Previously: SRE at a fintech of consequential volume.
05 / Work

A short shelf, growing slowly.

We take roughly one engagement at a time. What's here was built, shipped, and tended after.

More coming as they ship.

06 / Kind words

What people say.

“They wrote tests before we knew to ask. Six months in, we haven't had a single regression ship. In healthtech, that's nearly unheard of.”
Dr. Elena Whitmore
CTO, Clearform Health
“The gap between what we paid and what we received is, frankly, unreasonable. I've worked with London studios that charged four times as much and produced less.”
Aksel Lindqvist
Head of Product, Meridian Freight
“I never feel like I'm managing them. They manage the problem, and I get to be a client again.”
Camille Noyer
Founder, Atelier Noyer
07 / Our why

We believe good work is its own reward.

Excellence is a quiet form of gratitude — for the people we get to build with, the people who trust us with their projects, and the unlikely opportunity to do what we love together.

08 / Say hello

Tell us about the project.

We read every message. A real person — one of the three — will write back within two working days.
