Strategy · Software · Games

I build the strategy,
then I build the thing.

Mew is Justin Pincar — business strategy and management consulting, software development, and game development. The person who helps you decide what to do is the person who ships it.

What I do

Three practices, one person.

Most companies hire a strategy firm, a dev shop, and a studio, then spend the year translating between them. I do all three, so the plan and the product never drift apart.

  • 01

    Strategy & Management

    Positioning, operating model, and the unglamorous work of making a business actually run.

    • Market positioning and growth strategy
    • Operating model, org design, and process
    • Go-to-market planning and pricing
    • Fundraising narrative and board materials
    • Fractional and interim leadership
  • 02

    Software Development

    Product engineering from the first commit to production — including the code you inherited.

    • Web and mobile applications
    • APIs, backends, and data platforms
    • AI and LLM product development
    • Cloud infrastructure and DevOps
    • Technical due diligence and codebase rescue
  • 03

    Game Development

    Original titles and production support, from first prototype to live service.

    • Concept, design, and prototyping
    • Full production for mobile, PC, and web
    • Systems, economy, and live-ops design
    • Engineering support for shipped titles
    • Art direction and technical art

How I work

Senior judgment, short loops, real ownership.

  • You get me

    The person you talk to is the person doing the work. No account layer, no pitch team, nobody swapped in after you sign.

  • Decisions before deliverables

    I start from the decision you are actually trying to make. The deck, the spec, and the sprint plan follow from it — not the other way around.

  • Weeks, not quarters

    Something real in front of real users early, then iterate. Long discovery phases mostly produce confident wrong answers.

  • I own the outcome

    I stay through launch and past it. If what I built is not working, that is my problem too.

Ways to work together

Pick the shape that fits.

Every engagement starts with a conversation about what you are actually trying to accomplish. The structure follows from that, not from a rate card.

Get in touch

Tell me what you are trying to build.

A short note is enough to start. I read everything that comes in and usually reply within a business day.
