Hello

Zanuka Labs is an Indie development studio owned and operated by Michael Delucchi, creating high-quality software from concept to production.

Focus

Quality, shipped.

Case studies

Selected works are documented as case studies — problem, constraints, decisions, outcomes — covering production delivery, performance, and the systems that make interfaces durable in the hands of real users and real teams.

Architecture & alignment

Architecture and design proposals with honest tradeoffs — building shared direction across engineering, product, and design.

Systems thinking

Full-stack delivery that treats interface, API, and data as one system — shaping contracts, failure states, performance, and maintainability.
