Software studio · North Macedonia
Twin brothers Andrej and Filip Janev. We build live data products, automation and web software, and keep them running.
Balkan Borders, by the numbers
Live since July 2026 · read the case study →01What we build
01
We turn scattered official sources into fast pages people trust: polite scrapers, data pipelines and static sites that refresh themselves.
Balkan Borders · 93 crossings, refreshed hourly
02
Dashboards that reconcile every source, reports that build themselves, and the daily spreadsheet chores turned into scripts.
Spread Great Ideas · four manual reports became one dashboard
03
Specs engineers can build from, testing that finds bugs before customers do, and onboarding that makes complex software usable.
5 SaaS apps · 98% customer satisfaction
02Featured work
Live border waits and cameras for the Balkans, from official sources.
01 · The problem
Every summer, drivers crossing the Balkans wait hours at the border. Official wait times exist, but they are spread across police, customs and auto-club sites, in different languages and formats. Two countries publish none at all.
> sources --sample --never-guess
02 · The pipeline
Python scrapers read each official source at its own pace, under a named bot that says who we are. The data is normalised, checked, and rebuilt into a static site on Cloudflare every hour, in six languages.
> refresh --hourly
03 · The craft
About 4,000 automated tests guard the parsers and pages, and a freshness gate refuses to deploy corrupt data. The bot has committed more data refreshes than we have commits.

04 · The result
Within weeks the site ranked for crossing searches across the region: 748,748 Google impressions and 14,099 clicks in its first twelve weeks, peaking at 29,619 impressions on August 7.

07How we work
Two pairs of eyes on every number. If we say it works, we watched it work.
One change, seen live, then judged on data, not on how it felt to build.
Our bots say who they are, ask sources first, and never pretend to be someone else.
Decisions get their reasons recorded, so the next person, or the next us, doesn't relearn them.
