Experience

Over the years we've shipped projects in several specialized domains. Below are some of the areas where we have the deepest practical experience.

Contests & Voting Systems

Building online competitions with submission flows, payment, multi-stage juries, and large public voting peaks. We've built and supported award shows like Tomorrow Awards and the ADC festival, as well as custom contest platforms for niche industries.

Common challenges we solve: anti-fraud voting, flexible submission types (image/video/audio/interactive), payment refunds, and scaling around deadline traffic.

Ranking & Matching Engines

From property-renter matching on Renters.ro to portfolio review queues on ReviewPortfolios, we design ranking algorithms that score, filter, and pair entities based on rich criteria.

Recommendation & Discovery

Activity feeds, "people you may know", location-based filtering, and content discovery — implemented on platforms like Insp, Vojekt, and CircusTalk. We combine Elasticsearch, application-layer signals, and editorial controls.

Online Communities

This is our oldest and deepest area. Niche communities, professional networks, alumni platforms, and member directories — many of them built on top of our own HubMachine engine. We know how to launch a community MVP fast and scale it as it grows.
