& Web Applications
Roga Digital is a software studio that designs, builds, ships, and maintains the software businesses depend on — websites, dashboards, integrations, and the internal applications your team and clients use every day.

Puntledge Tube Report
Our latest launch answers one question: is the Puntledge River worth floating today? The site blends live river gauge data, weather, and tides with anonymous reports from tubers who just got off the water, then turns it all into a plain-language verdict. Built with SvelteKit and Neon Postgres, deployed on Cloudflare.
Capabilities
Web applications for business.
Our specialty is the software your operations run on — the internal tools, dashboards, and portals your team relies on every day. When spreadsheets and off-the-shelf software stop fitting the way you work, we build what does, and we keep it running.
- 01
Product strategy & advisory
Discovery, scope shaping, roadmaps, architecture reviews, second opinions. We figure out what to build before we build it — and what not to.
- Discovery
- Scoping
- Roadmaps
- Code review
- 02
Systems architecture
Database design, API contracts, service boundaries, security and access control. Decisions that hold up at year three.
- Postgres
- REST · GraphQL
- RBAC
- Audit logs
- 03
Full-stack web development
Production web apps, internal tools, and dashboards — front to back, design to deploy. Fast, dense, and kind to power users.
- TypeScript
- Svelte · Astro
- Node · Python

AI integration & consulting
LLM features, retrieval, agents, and pragmatic automation. Honest assessment of what AI changes and what it doesn't.
- LLMs
- RAG
- Agents
- Eval

Integrations & workflow automation
Third-party APIs, ETL pipelines, webhooks, scheduled jobs. The plumbing that keeps your business systems in sync.

Long-term support of software you already own. Audits, gradual rebuilds, on-call for the things that matter.

The proof is in production. Every project here is a real system a business relies on — designed, built, and shipped end-to-end, and maintained by us to this day.
TELUS · Summit
Workforce learning · Certification
A modern credentialing and exam platform for TELUS trades technicians and partner contractors — replacing two parallel in-house legacy systems.

How It Works
Before, during, and long after launch.
Great software comes down to three things: building what your business actually needs, keeping you in the loop the whole way, and standing behind it long after launch. That's how we work — start to finish, and well past it.
- 01
Scope first, code second.
Most software fails before the first commit — wrong problem, fuzzy spec, scope that balloons. We start from what your business needs to change, work back to the smallest thing that gets there, and tell you what not to build.
- 02
You see it working, early.
No months of silence and a big reveal at the end. We ship in small, working pieces you can click through and react to — so what gets built is what you actually need, with no surprises when it lands.
- 03
Built to outlast the launch.
Launch is the start, not the finish line. Every project ships with documentation, runbooks, and monitoring — software your team can actually run. And we stay on to fix, extend, and maintain it for as long as you want us.
Insights
Professional notes, opinions, and forecasts.
Opinions on tooling and technology, honest takes on where AI is actually headed, and notes from the work itself — written for people who build and run software, not the hype cycle.
Social fibrosis: a diagnosis for what social media did to us
Two decades of engagement advertising have replaced society's connective tissue with scar tissue. A diagnosis, the evidence, and the first real treatments.
Why this site runs on Astro and Vercel
A portfolio site has one job: load fast, rank well, and get out of the way. Here's why Astro and Vercel are the right tools for that job — and what the same thinking looks like applied to your project.
The hiring signal in Anthropic's labour-market paper
Anthropic's March 2026 paper says AI is bending the entry-level hiring curve before it shows up as layoffs. What that changes for how SMBs staff and build.
