15 Years of Engineering. Now AI-Augmented.
Are you ready for
what's coming?
AI is rewriting the rules of software every month. Keeping up is a full-time job. We know because it's ours.
15 years of building. Now we build with AI agents. Same judgment, radically faster.
Trusted by teams at
Code is becoming cheap.
Judgment is not.
We don't sell developers. We sell outcomes. Designed, supervised, and shipped by engineers who've seen it all.
Anyone can generate code now. AI writes it faster every quarter. The bottleneck has shifted from "can we build it?" to "should we build it this way, and will it actually work in production?"
We've spent 15 years learning what breaks, what scales, and what matters. Now we pair that judgment with AI agents that execute at machine speed.
What We Do
Three things done right.
Agentic Architecture
We design ecosystems of autonomous AI agents that work alongside your team. Not chatbots. Not copilots. Full agentic systems that plan, execute, and self-correct.
- -MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration
- -RAG pipeline design & optimization
- -Multi-agent orchestration
- -Secure, sovereign AI deployments
AI-Augmented Engineering
Every engineer on your project is battle-tested, AI-native, and endlessly curious. They don't just write code. They orchestrate AI agents that multiply their output. Small team, massive throughput.
- -Sharp engineers managing AI workflows
- -Outcome-based delivery, not hourly billing
- -US + Romania for near-continuous progress
- -Repeatable agentic playbooks as IP
QA as AI Safety
AI-generated code ships faster. It also fails in new ways. Our QA team is trained to catch what agents miss: edge cases, business logic gaps, and subtle pattern errors.
- -AI-specific code review patterns
- -Business logic validation
- -Edge case detection AI tends to miss
- -Production-grade quality assurance

About
Boutique by design.
Battle-tested by time.
SF AppWorks was founded 15 years ago in San Francisco. Our co-founders are based in the US. Our engineering team of 30+ developers is in Cluj, Romania, one of Europe's deepest tech talent pools.
We're big enough to be trusted by Yum! Brands and J. Crew. Small enough that every engineer is handpicked, every client has direct access to leadership, and nobody gets lost in a process machine.
We're not a factory. We don't chase growth for growth's sake. We don't rotate people through your project. Every person on your team is sharp, curious, and AI-native. They orchestrate agents that multiply their output.
The Romania Edge: US timezone overlap, world-class technical talent, and AI agent workflows. Near-continuous progress on your project, around the clock.
