Clever Goat

CLEVER GOAT

Senior architect team. We build and operate complex systems.

15+ years of senior experience, at AI speed. For complex projects.

We deliver whole projects, not pieces. Architecture, development, web and mobile, design where it matters — one team, one accountable partner.

What we do

Three project types where we’re strongest.

These are where we have established methodology and a senior team. For smaller component-level work we know specialised partners.

New AI-based product or platform

New AI-based internal tool, customer-facing platform, or SaaS product — from concept to launch. Backend, web, mobile where needed.

Complex platform or application

Multi-tenant SaaS, complex backends, web and mobile apps. Where logic, scalability, and long-term maintainability matter.

System audit and rework

An existing system that no longer scales, is slow to change, or has become brittle. Deep audit, refactor plan, rebuilding critical points — without an unnecessary full rewrite.

For complex projects we also provide branding and marketing elements where they’re needed. We continue to operate the systems we deliver, with support and maintenance whenever needed. For standalone smaller tasks (a flyer, a quick website, or a single logo) we have more specialised partners we’re happy to recommend.

How we work

Senior decisions, at AI speed.

We use AI tools for code generation, research, code review, and testing. But every critical decision — architecture, security, release — is made by a senior expert.

Understand

Workshop with your team and AI-assisted codebase analysis. We map the current system, constraints, and business goals.

Prototype

We quickly build a working version — wireframe, low-code app, or production code, whichever is fastest. 2–4 weeks.

Iterate

KPIs, real user testing, refinement. Continuous delivery in small batches, not a months-long waterfall.

Team

Real names, real experience.

Experience is the guarantee — and as founder, I’m personally on every project.

Péter Szollár — Clever Goat founder

Péter Szollár

Founder / Owner, Staff Software Engineer & Solution Architect

15+ years of software development experience. I design and build complex production systems — from EU compliance platforms through real-time backends to multi-tenant SaaS. Founder and owner of Clever Goat.

Selected work

We take what we build seriously.

Three recent projects. Client names are under NDA, but the problem, the solution, the outcome — and the operations work after delivery — are open to discuss.

EU TAX COMPLIANCE

EU compliance platform for companies operating in Hungary

Problem
A brittle monolithic system blocked rapid adaptation to regulatory changes, and every modification put the whole system at risk.
Solution
We split the monolith into ~30 independently deployable microservices with auditable processing pipelines and strict validation.
Outcome
The team can now independently extend complex tax rules without putting the whole system at risk.
Operations

~30-service fleet operated on Azure Kubernetes — CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, incident handling and on-call support.

REAL-TIME DATA PROCESSING

Deterministic real-time backend for continuous data streams

Problem
Async updates created inconsistent data states with unpredictable production behaviour.
Solution
A rule-based, deterministic processing engine with strict validation — predictable output for every input.
Outcome
Data inconsistencies are gone; the system handles continuous load stably.
Operations

24/7 production operations, Firebase infra management, deployment automation and incident response.

MULTI-TENANT PLATFORM

Multi-tenant web application with strict tenant isolation

Problem
Tenant and role boundaries blurred together, and every new tenant onboarding required developer work.
Solution
Tenant isolation enforced at the data and API layer, with clean role-based access boundaries.
Outcome
New tenant onboarding takes minutes, and the codebase can be extended without risk.
Operations

Ongoing platform operations, tenant onboarding, security patching and continuous support.

CONSTRUCTION TIME TRACKING

Mobile app and AI analytics for construction site time tracking

Problem
Workers logged hours manually, which was inaccurate and gave no visibility into material consumption. Anomalies (mismatched quantities, suspicious activity) only surfaced at invoicing — after the fact.
Solution
A React Native mobile app with automatic activity tracking (geofencing + sensors), Node.js backend, and AI-driven analytics on resource and material usage with anomaly detection.
Outcome
Time and material data is available in real time, and anomalies surface before payment. Project managers see what's happening on every site, daily.
Operations

Production mobile app and backend operations, AI model refinement on real data, iOS + Android build pipelines, and incident response.
