AI · Architecture · Full-Stack
AI systems, software architecture and full-stack delivery. Led by George Dumitrescu, 20 years shipping production software.
01
What we do
Three things, done properly
Deep work on a narrow surface, rather than a menu of everything. Every project is architected and written by the same person you brief.
01
AI Implementation & System Design
We find where AI actually pays for itself, then design the system around the model: retrieval, evaluation, cost, latency and the fallback for when it gets things wrong.
- AI opportunity assessment
- LLM features in existing products
- Retrieval, evals and guardrails
02
Full-Stack Web & SaaS
SaaS platforms, business applications and high-traffic APIs, built to stay maintainable long after launch, because most of a product’s life is what happens after launch.
- SaaS and custom platforms
- High-traffic APIs and integrations
- Laravel, Symfony, Node.js, Java
03
Native Mobile Apps
Native iOS and Android applications, backed by APIs designed for the load they will actually see. Banking, video streaming, ordering and social apps already shipped.
- Native iOS and Android
- Scalable in-house APIs
- App Store and Play Store delivery

Who you will work with
George Dumitrescu
I have spent twenty years building software that other people depend on, as a lead architect, as a CTO, and as the engineer on call when it broke. That work took me through Bucharest, San Francisco, Dublin and Berlin, across banking apps, streaming platforms, marketplaces and high-traffic APIs.
Wibiway is deliberately small: one engineer who scopes the work, designs it and writes it. What I bring to an AI project is not a prompt library. It is twenty years of knowing which part of a system will fail first, and building it so it doesn’t.

Selected work
Systems that carry real load
A sample of platforms George has architected and built over twenty years, across employed, contract and consulting engagements. Clients are described rather than named.
Parking marketplace
A two-sided marketplace letting owners rent out parking spaces, with search, availability and payments.
Laravel / Vue.js / MySQL / Stripe
Recruiting platform
Applicant tracking and candidate matching for a recruitment business, designed to stay fast as the candidate pool grew.
PHP / NestJS / PostgreSQL / Docker
Newspaper paywall
Metered access and subscription logic for an online newspaper, including the payment integrations behind it.
Symfony / React / MySQL
Patient management CRM
A clinical CRM for doctors, handling patient records and scheduling under strict data-integrity requirements.
Laravel / React / MySQL
Social mobile app on AWS
An Instagram-style social app for a San Francisco start-up: a scalable in-house API on AWS, delivered with no API downtime. The team raised Seed and Series A.
AWS / MongoDB / Redis / CloudFront
04
How it works
From question to shipped system
Most engagements begin with a paid discovery phase that produces a plan you own, whether or not you build it with us.
-
01
Discover
Understand the business problem, the constraints and what success actually looks like.
-
02
Architect
Design the system, name the risks, estimate the cost. You get a technical plan you can act on.
-
03
Build
Fixed-scope phases, working software at the end of each, no surprises in between.
-
04
Ship
Deploy, measure, and harden against the failure modes we identified up front.
-
05
Support
Hand over documentation and stay reachable. Software is never finished on launch day.

Questions
The things people ask first
Have you shipped AI systems in production?
We build AI features into production systems, and we are candid about where the expertise comes from: 20 years of designing the parts of an AI product that actually decide whether it works, namely retrieval, data modelling, evaluation, latency budgets, cost control and graceful fallbacks. The model is a dependency you call. The system around it is the engineering, and that is the part we have been doing since long before it had "AI" in the name.
Who will actually do the work?
George Dumitrescu. Wibiway is deliberately a one-person consultancy, so the person you scope the project with is the person who architects and writes it. For larger builds we assemble a trusted team, and we say so upfront.
What does a typical engagement look like?
Most start with a paid architecture review or a short discovery engagement: one to two weeks that produces a technical plan, a cost and risk assessment, and a decision you can act on with or without us. Delivery work follows from there in fixed-scope phases.
Do you work with existing codebases?
Most of the work is exactly that: adding AI features, untangling architecture or scaling APIs inside applications that already have users and revenue. Greenfield is the easy case.
Which technologies do you use?
Primarily PHP and Laravel, Symfony, Node.js, Java and Spring Boot on the backend; Vue and React on the frontend; PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis for data; Docker and AWS for delivery. Technology choice follows the problem, not the other way around.
Where are you based, and do you work remotely?
Wibiway is registered in Ilfov, Romania, and works remotely with clients worldwide. Projects have shipped from Bucharest to Dublin, Berlin and San Francisco.
Let’s talk about what you are building.
A free, no-obligation technical conversation. You will be talking to the engineer who would do the work, not a salesperson.
