Focused software, built to last.
MSH86 is an independent engineering practice — designing and building small, well-made web products, end to end.
Approach
Most software is bigger than it needs to be. MSH86 exists to build the opposite — tools and sites that do exactly what they're meant to, and nothing more.
That starts with a plain question: what does this actually need to do? Everything that doesn't answer it gets cut — fewer dependencies, faster pages, interfaces that stay out of the way.
Capabilities
Product design
Interfaces that are simple to use and just as simple to build on.
Front-end engineering
Fast, accessible interfaces — framework-free by default, React when it earns its cost.
Back-end & APIs
Small services that are easy to reason about and cheap to run.
Performance
Pages that load fast on a slow connection and a five-year-old phone.
Process
-
Discover
Understand the problem, the audience, and what "done" actually looks like.
-
Shape
Sketch the structure before any code — content, flow, and the one thing the page has to do well.
-
Build
Write it clean, test it on real devices, keep dependencies to a minimum.
-
Ship
Deploy, monitor, and hand over something that's easy to maintain without me.
