Senior engineers building software that fits the business.
Hot Skulls Labs designs and builds custom software and automation for small and medium-sized companies across Europe, from Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Who we are
Hot Skulls Labs is a team of senior engineers and designers based in Ljubljana. We work with companies that have outgrown spreadsheets, off-the-shelf tools and manual routines, and need software shaped around how they actually operate. Every project is handled by the people you talk to; there is no handover to a separate delivery team.
What we build
Web development: corporate sites, web platforms, portals and e-commerce that are fast, multilingual and built to be maintained. Mobile app development: iOS and Android apps with Flutter or React Native, native where it matters, with backend and release included. AI business automation: systems that take the repetitive work off your team, from social media and lead handling to documents, integrations and decision dashboards. IT consulting: strategy, software architecture, integrations, project management, software audits and SOPs, for companies that want a clear plan and an honest second opinion before they commit. Many projects combine more than one of them.
How we work
Four steps: discover, design, build, run and improve. We start by mapping the process and the systems it touches, design around real tasks, build in short iterations and stay involved once the software is in daily use. Where AI makes decisions, people keep control through review queues and approvals. No black boxes: you see what the system does and why, and you own the code and the data.
What we stand for
Craft
Software that is well built, fast and readable, because it has to be maintained for years.
Ownership
We take responsibility for the outcome, not just the delivery, and stay with the system after launch.
Clarity
Plain language, visible progress and decisions you can follow, from the first estimate to the last release.
Partnership
We work as part of your team, learn your business and build for how it runs.
