About Us
A small team that builds
software for small teams.
After 14+ years building products at startups and enterprises, we noticed a pattern: small teams kept getting burned by agencies that over-promised and under-delivered. Fordel Studios exists to be the development partner we wish we had.

Our Story
Built from experience,
not theory
No account managers, no junior developers learning on your dime, no bloated estimates to cover risk. Just experienced engineers who care about shipping useful software and building long-term relationships with the teams we work with.
We specialize in AI-native applications — software that treats machine learning as a first-class citizen, not a bolted-on feature. From intelligent document processing to conversational interfaces, we build the tools that let small teams punch above their weight.
Leadership
The people behind the code
No account managers. You work directly with the people building your software.
Abhishek Sharma
Head of Engineering
Full-stack engineer with 14+ years shipping production software across fintech, healthcare, and SaaS. Leads architecture decisions and ensures every project ships on time with clean, maintainable code.
Satarupa Mandal
Head of Quality
Quality-obsessed engineer who bridges the gap between design intent and production reality. Owns testing strategy, code review standards, and the client experience from first commit to final deploy.
How We Work
Principles that guide every project we take on.
Ship Over Spec
Working software beats documentation. We prefer rapid iteration with real users over months of planning in isolation.
Cost Discipline
Your runway matters. We optimize for total cost of ownership, not just development speed.
Intentional Architecture
No over-engineering, no premature optimization. We build what you need now with clear paths to scale later.
Honest Feedback
We'll tell you if your idea won't work, if a feature isn't worth building, or if we're not the right fit.

WhiteRose
Our free and open-source project. WhiteRose is built by the same team that ships your production software — battle-tested patterns, clean architecture, and zero shortcuts.
We believe in giving back to the community that taught us. WhiteRose represents our engineering standards in the open — the same code quality you get when you work with us.

The Fordel Way
What makes us, us
“We don’t do timesheets. We do ship dates.”
“Our Slack has more memes than Jira tickets.”
“Every engineer has 5+ years of production experience.”
“We’ve turned down big projects because the timeline was dishonest.”
