Denis K.

Founder & CEO at dZENcode | 911 for IT Projects | MVP, Scaling, AI/ML

I help startup founders, VC funds and businesses launch, rescue and scale software products. 🆘 I rescue projects stuck between “almost ready” and actual delivery. 👥 I build and strengthen teams that bring products through to release. 🎯 I connect business goals with technical execution: establish the right working model, manage risks and make development transparent and predictable. 🚀 I founded and lead dZENcode – a software development company focused on building, improving and rescuing digital products. We join projects at any stage: from idea and discovery to MVP, production and scaling. 💎 MY WUNDERWAFFE IS dZENcode dZENcode is built on lean-production principles: every resource invested in a result should be visible, measurable and used deliberately. How it works in practice: ▪️ tasks and responsibilities are managed in our project management system; ▪️ actual working time is recorded through time tracking; ▪️ results are documented at every iteration; ▪️ QA, analytics, documentation, automation, dozens of internal tools + AI with MCP work as one integrated system. Since 2019, I have invested at least 18% of dZENcode’s working time in developing our internal software, processes and infrastructure. We use all of it inside the company every day – and keep improving it continuously. 💎 dZENcode is not only about technology. It is also culture, people and accumulated knowledge. We do not build projects around individual “stars”. For every task, the system brings together the right people, competencies and technologies. One sees the product, another the architecture, another the risks, and another the implementation. Together, they produce a result none of them could achieve alone. Speed, economics, scalability and predictability are consequences of the system. We are at least 30% more efficient than any other IT company on the market – and we are ready to prove it. 🏁 COMPETITIVE MODEL For up to 2 weeks, we work alongside your current team under the same conditions. If our result is better, the project moves to us. If we lose, we do not invoice our work. Ways to work with us: 🚑 911 FOR IT PROJECTS Audit, stabilisation and relaunch of troubled projects. 🚀 0 → 1 From idea to MVP, production and scaling. 🧩 OUTSTAFFING++ 3 formats: from classic outstaffing to a managed combination of competencies. For example, 8 hours of work can look like this: 4h development + 2h QA + 2h design. 🅿️ PROJECT ON PAUSE We preserve context and technical readiness until the project is ready to move again. Weekly minimum: 1h Project Manager + 2h Lead. 🤝 Our standard model is contract-based software delivery. 🌱 For selected projects, we are open to partnership and co-investment. 🔁 3+ projects per client on average. 📩 Need to launch, rescue, scale or preserve a software product? Just message me.
