SEMKIV/LABS · EST. 2014 · A ONE-PERSON WORKSHOP

ship what matters — skip what doesn’t.

Roman Semkiv — builder. I help small and medium businesses build, hire, and ship. Embedded with your team — never a full-time anything.

Services

  • Ship the thingMVPs and v2s, shipped in weeks not quarters. Full-stack product delivery: design, code, infra, go-live.
  • Run the techTechnical partner, two days a week. Hiring plans, architecture, vendor due diligence, investor conversations.
  • Read the roomAdvisory for founders who need one person to tell them the truth. Hiring, architecture, pricing, pivots. No slides, no hedging.

Process

  1. Listen. A short call. You talk, I take notes.
  2. Diagnose. A week to understand the product and team.
  3. Ship a thing. Fix one real problem in the first two weeks.
  4. Operate. Weekly cadence. Async-first. Steady pace.
  5. Graduate. Hand things off to your team.

Recent work

  • IT support portal + landing — ticketing, client portal, and marketing site as one product.
  • Construction company website — marketing, project gallery, lead-intake funnel.
  • Designer portfolio website — editorial layout, MDX case studies, image pipeline.

About

Twelve years doing IT for a living. Four years running teams. Two years doing both for four different companies at once.

Good at the awkward middle — too big for one founder, too small for a full leadership hire. I sit between the two and keep things moving.

Based in Los Angeles. Available in Europe and US time zones.
