Abstract
This document describes Levkin, a Canadian software development practice specializing in production systems, business automation, and enterprise tooling. Levkin ships software that must work when nobody is watching — with error handling, documentation, and tests as non-optional requirements.
1. Scope
Levkin operates as a boutique engineering practice, not a body shop. Engagements are scoped, shipped, and handed off with the expectation that the client (or their next hire) can maintain what was built.
interface Engagement {
discovery: "15min call, no obligation"; // cal.levkin.ca/ilia/consult
delivery: "production-ready, documented";
maintenance: "optional, not mandatory lock-in";
}2. Services
The following endpoints represent primary service offerings. Each maps to a deployable capability.
Web applications, APIs, internal tools. Stack-agnostic; preference for boring, proven technology.
- TypeScript / Node · Python · C# / .NET
- PostgreSQL · SQL Server · SQLite
- React · Vue · server-rendered where appropriate
n8n, Zapier, Make, GitHub Actions, webhooks, LLM integrations. Scripts that save hours; pipelines that run operations.
CaseWare & CaseView development, templates, release automation. 15+ years inside the ecosystem.
Test automation, CI/CD, trace-driven debugging. Contract SDET services available.
3. Required Properties
All Levkin deliverables MUST satisfy the following constraints unless explicitly waived in writing.
| Property | Requirement | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
reliability | Retries, alerts, graceful degradation | Production ≠ demo |
documentation | Runbook or README sufficient for handoff | Bus factor > 1 |
testability | Automated tests before live data | Regressions are expensive |
pragmatism | Smallest solution that solves the problem | 20-line script > 200-node workflow |
