Your next CTOdoesn't needequity.
Most IT agencies put a salesman between you and the code. We're an architect-founded 100% engineering team — real technical oversight, enforced standards, and rates that won't kill your runway.

The person behind DLG Tech
Eugene Dolgov
Tech Lead & Software Architect
I've spent 14+ years building products for startups across the US and Europe. I've worked inside platforms like Crossover — I know exactly what you get, and what you overpay for.
Not another agency
Most agencies are run by business people who find cheap developers and mark them up. I'm an architect who builds real teams with real standards.
You pay for engineering, not overhead
No project managers pretending to be tech leads. No juniors presented as seniors. Every developer on your project is vetted and trained by me personally.
Architecture-first approach
I design the system right from day one — so you don't burn money rewriting code six months later. Then my team executes under my ongoing technical oversight.

How we work
Flexible by design.
Every startup is different. We adapt to what you actually need — not force you into a one-size-fits-all model.
Full Delivery
You describe what you need. We architect, build, and deliver — end to end. You stay focused on your business while we handle the engineering.
- Complete project ownership from architecture to deployment
- Regular demos and progress updates
- Fixed scope or time-and-materials — your choice
Best for: Founders without a tech team
Dedicated Team
Your own engineering team, managed and technically supervised by us. Sprint-based workflow with full transparency into what's being built.
- Dedicated developers working exclusively on your product
- Sprint planning, daily standups, weekly demos
- Scale up or down as your needs change
Best for: Startups with ongoing development
Team Extension
Our engineers join your existing team seamlessly. Same tools, same workflow, same standups — just more hands on deck.
- Engineers integrate into your processes and tools
- Work alongside your team as if they were hired directly
- Billing through us — no HR or legal overhead for you
Best for: Companies that need to scale fast

Common questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
Everything founders typically ask before working with us.
Our team works with significant overlap with US business hours (EST/PST). We're available for standups, Slack, and real-time collaboration during your workday. Async communication is handled within hours, not days.
Every pull request goes through code review. The architecture is designed upfront by a senior architect, and we enforce coding standards, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines from day one. No shortcuts.
We'll replace them — no questions asked. Our commitment is to the quality of work delivered, not to any individual. That said, because we vet and train our engineers personally, this rarely happens.
We offer both hourly and fixed-price models depending on the project. Rates are 2-3x less than equivalent US talent. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices. You get a clear breakdown before we start.
Typically within 1-2 weeks of our initial call. We scope the project, align on architecture, and assign the right engineers. For team extensions, we can move even faster if we have available engineers.
All intellectual property belongs to you — 100%, no exceptions. We sign NDAs before any project begins and can work with your legal agreements as well. Your code, your data, your product. We retain zero ownership rights.
No long-term contracts required. You can start with a small pilot project or a single developer and scale from there. We earn your trust through results, not lock-in clauses. Most clients stay because the work speaks for itself.
We provide full documentation and knowledge transfer so your team can maintain everything independently. If you need ongoing support, we offer flexible maintenance plans. You're never stuck — the codebase is clean, well-documented, and yours to take anywhere.
