What Mrdzyn Studio does for founders

Mrdzyn Studio offers three services. The first is a live, one-hour technical readiness review of your AI-built prototype before you ship to iOS or Android. The second is custom builds that take a prototype to a store-ready app. The third is fractional CTO, CIO, or CISO leadership, plus data-privacy advisory, billed by the day each month.

Senior judgment, not a wrapper mill.

AI prototype readiness review

Built it in Lovable, Bolt, or another AI tool? Before paying anyone to wrap it for the App Store or Google Play, get an honest answer: wrap, rebuild, or pause.

How it works: a one-hour Zoom call. You share your screen, and I review the prototype live with you.

What we look at: auth, data model, offline behavior, payments and store billing, permissions and privacy, and App Store Guideline 4.2 (Minimum Functionality) risk.

What you leave with: a wrap, rebuild, or pause recommendation and a prioritized list of what to fix first.

Custom builds: prototype to store-ready

When the review says rebuild, or you're starting fresh, I build focused mobile apps and SaaS ready for real users.

  • Built in the tech stack you prefer, or I'll recommend one based on your high-level requirements
  • Offline-first and privacy-first where it matters
  • Store billing and submission handled

This is how I ship my own apps, including DiaKeep, ManagerGym, and Daily Word Within.

Fractional technology leadership

Senior technology, security, and privacy leadership for founders who need it now, but not full-time.

  • Fractional CTO: architecture, roadmap, and vetting vendors and hires
  • Fractional CIO: systems, tools, and IT operations
  • Fractional CISO: security program, risk, and incident readiness
  • Data privacy (DPO) advisory: Philippine Data Privacy Act and GDPR. I don't serve as your designated DPO, since that role must be free of conflicts of interest.

Billed in man-days (8 hours) per month, at a number we agree on together.

Talk about a fractional role

How working together works

Every engagement starts with a free call of 15 minutes or less, a fit check for both of us. If it's a fit, a quote follows before any work starts.

1. Free discovery call. Tell me what you've built and what you need to decide.
2. Quote. Clear scope and price.
3. Do the work. Plain-language findings and decisions you can act on.
4. Hand off or continue. Ship, hire, or keep me on for the next stage.

Who this is for

Founders and small businesses with momentum and a technical decision they can't afford to get wrong.

Good fit if you:

  • have an AI-built MVP and want it on the App Store and Google Play
  • are a non-technical founder who needs someone senior to trust on technical calls
  • handle health, financial, or personal data
  • got a customer security questionnaire and nobody owns the answer

Not a fit if you

want a website in an app icon shipped by Friday.

Frequently asked questions

Can I turn my Lovable app into an iOS or Android app?

Yes, but not by wrapping the URL and hoping. AI builders produce web apps. For the stores you need a wrapper with real native features or a rebuild, plus solid auth, data, payments, and privacy. A readiness review tells you which.

Will Apple reject a wrapped web app?

It can. App Store Review Guideline 4.2 (Minimum Functionality) rejects apps that feel like a repackaged website. A wrap with real native behavior (push, biometrics, offline handling, native navigation) has a fair shot. A bare WebView usually doesn't.

Should I wrap with Capacitor or rebuild in React Native or Flutter?

Wrap when the product is genuinely web-shaped and the backend is solid. Rebuild when offline data, performance, or deep device features are central, or the generated code is hard to maintain. Pause if the core workflow isn't settled.

How does the readiness review work?

It's a one-hour Zoom call where I review your prototype live with you. You leave with a wrap, rebuild, or pause recommendation and a prioritized fix list.

What does a fractional CTO do?

A fractional CTO provides senior technology leadership part-time: architecture and stack decisions, roadmap, build-vs-buy calls, and vetting vendors and hires. You get executive judgment without a full-time executive salary.

Can you be my CISO and my DPO?

I can be your fractional CISO and advise you on the Philippine Data Privacy Act and GDPR, but I don't serve as an officially designated DPO. A DPO must be free of conflicts of interest, so that role should sit with someone who doesn't also run your security or technology.

How much does it cost?

I don't publish prices, because every engagement is scoped to the need. We start with a free 15-minute call to check fit both ways: am I the right person for what you need, and will we work well together? I do my best work with founders who value senior judgment and are ready to act on it. If it's a fit, a quote follows.
