Manudev Lab is a tiny software lab run by a traveling developer. I build AI-powered products for hosts, small businesses and small-country markets — usually a few steps from the sea.

Building for the places I actually live in.
AI assistants
Assistants that answer guests and customers from a business's own information — so owners can go to the beach.
Made for small markets
The Balkans and other small countries get overlooked. I build for them first, in their own language.
Web & mobile that ships
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Flutter and Supabase — polished by a senior frontend engineer.

What I'm building
Every product started with a real problem I ran into on the road.
