Sectors we deliver to
Software, end-to-end.
One partner for the entire lifecycle — from the first whiteboard sketch to the post-launch optimization sprint.
A four-step process. No theater.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined arc — so you always know what's next.
01 · Discover
We dig deep into your goals, users and constraints.
Stakeholder interviews, system mapping, competitive analysis. The output is clarity — what to build, why, and what to deprioritize.
02 · Plan
We design the smallest system that solves the real problem.
Architecture, scope, timeline and budget — written down, version-controlled, signed off. No surprises after kickoff.
03 · Build
We ship in tight iterations, with you in the loop every week.
Design, code, tests, CI/CD, deployments, demos. Quality gates baked in — not a separate QA phase at the end.
04 · Scale
We measure, optimize and grow what works.
Observability, performance, cost optimization, security hardening, team enablement. Built to last past the launch high.
How we ship
Every change is tested, gated and deployed the same way — watch a real quality gate run: the cross-tenant isolation test from our own BYB platform.

Deployed to production
Weekly demos, CI on every commit, and quality gates that block regressions — including the tenant-isolation test above.

Built by engineers who care.
Milannial Software is a boutique consultancy founded in 2024 by Marian Ciubuc — a Bucharest-based engineer (born 1994) with a soft spot for AC Milan and software that doesn't break.
Marian Ciubuc
Founder & Principal Engineer
Marian started shipping mobile code as a teenager and grew from junior developer to Head of Mobile in nine years — leading teams, architecting cross-platform systems and taking products from zero to production. The last four years have gone into Recorder.ro, Romania's most-trusted independent newsroom, and into a Nordic retail platform serving tier-1 brands across Europe. Native iOS and Android, Flutter, modern web, payment migrations, AI integrations and security work — senior hands on every project, no agency overhead.
