Michael Surpin & Lev Babichev
Founders, ChatCoders
I started ChatCoders after a decade of watching good ideas die in bad delivery. We build small, ship weekly and stay accountable to outcomes.
The path into software
My first product shipped eighteen months late and nobody used it. Everything about how this studio works is a reaction to that.
Small teams. Written decisions. Working software over status reports.
Discovery first, then a weekly shipping rhythm you can see in a live environment from day one.
Michael Surpin
Michael leads product, clients and delivery at ChatCoders. He turns rough ideas into scoped, shippable products and keeps every engagement honest about timelines and trade-offs.
Lev Babichev
Lev owns architecture and engineering at ChatCoders — web platforms, mobile apps and AI systems built to stay maintainable long after launch.
How we build products
Ship weekly
Every engagement has something running in a real environment within the first week.
Own the outcome
We measure success in adoption and revenue, not story points.
Leave you independent
Documented code, your accounts, no lock-in.
