Recovela
AI that helps you rebuild your home inventory for insurance claims — so you can get back to normal life faster after a disaster.
Private by design — your inventory stays yours.
Est. in a garage · Built around a real bar · No investors
An independent product studio — bootstrapped, garage-built, and run by people who'd rather ship than pitch.
01What we do
We build practical software products — applied AI, the useful kind, pointed at problems worth solving instead of demos worth pitching. We look for the ones big enough to change how an industry works, then build until they're solved.
Privacy and security aren't features we bolt on at the end. They're where we start.
02What we're building
Quietly, mostly. Here's what's on the bench.

03Who we are
A small crew of engineer-nerds who've been building software long enough to have strong opinions about all of it.
No investors. No growth team. No foosball table — just Lee's garage, which he built into a full bar, and a workbench that somehow keeps producing software. Our best architecture starts on the back of a cocktail napkin, and a surprising amount of it survives to production.
Raul
Jukebox Whisperer
Senior IT leader in DoD / space. Enterprise infrastructure, open source, and cloud — the kind where downtime and data leaks aren't options.
Lee
Head of Pour-duction
Former AWS cloud partner architect, 20+ years shipping production software. Also built the bar and tends it — hence the title. The garage is his; the drinks are on him.
Charles
Last Call Engineering
20+ years of Java on large-scale production systems. Has quietly fixed things at 2am you'll never know were broken.
Ryan
Resident Bar Fly
AWS partner architect, industrial & manufacturing IoT. Officially advises; realistically he's here for Lee's drinks. We don't blame him.
// Yes, those are the real titles. Yes, it's a real bar. The résumés are real too.

Or you just want to argue about it over a beer. Either way, we're easy to find.
