Simquat is a technology studio that builds digital tools.
When designing software, excluding the unnecessary is as important as adding the necessary. Heavy frameworks, external dependencies, and code generated by AI may accelerate the initial phase of development, but soon make the codebase fragile, breaking under its own weight. Here, code is intentionally designed and handcrafted, leading to software that is performant, robust, and built to last.
AL0 is a smartphone environment for Android.
Built to remove all digital noise – notifications, popups, social media, blobs of colors and sounds – the interface is based on a small number of utilitarian text-first black and white UI elements, combined to implement the essential features of a mobile phone: telephone, calendar, clock, camera, torch, calculator.
Qualifier is a quality assurance tool for BIM – building information modeling –.
The software was rebuilt from scratch to implement a precise, performant rule-checking engine paired with an intuitive user interface. Users can write tests and view results in real-time, directly on the 3D model. The backend was moved from a slow, bug-prone microservices architecture to a faster, reliable monolith on a modest machine.
I’m Simone Quattrocchi. I build tools independently, and I’ve engineered software for startups and agencies across Europe. I partner with focused entrepreneurs to build the essential, with zero frills. In person in Zürich, or remotely worldwide.
