The engineering team behind your software, agents, and cloud.
Custom software, AI agents that do real work, e-commerce that holds up on drop day, and the Azure cloud underneath — built by senior engineers with two decades in production, for teams from fast-moving brands to banking.
Chronic Qual — SC CHRONIC QUAL SRL — founded in 2011 — is a Romanian software company. We design, build, and ship working software for businesses that depend on it: web and business applications, online stores, AI-powered automation, and the cloud infrastructure underneath.
We started in applied AI — integrating language models and machine learning into the workflows that run real organizations. That work pulled us into everything around it: the custom software those workflows need, the e-commerce platforms businesses sell through, and the cloud they run on.
Today we work across the full stack of modern software engineering, with deep specialisation in AI agents, e-commerce, and Microsoft Azure enterprise migrations — backed by 20+ years of production experience and client relationships that last for years, not sprints.

What we do for you
From a single integration to a full platform migration — six core practices, delivered end to end by one senior team.
A-to-Z Adobe Commerce shop for one of Romania's biggest streetwear brands.
Porc-à-Porter is one of the best-known names in Romanian streetwear, and porcporc.com is its online flagship. We delivered the store end to end on Adobe Commerce — storefront, catalog, checkout, and payments. It is built for the way a streetwear brand actually sells: timed drops, artist collaborations, and promo-driven traffic spikes that have to convert without the shop slowing down.

IT services for a top digital bank, since 2018.
We provide IT services to a top digital bank. What we build there stays under NDA — happy to talk about it in person.

An AI co-host for YouTube live streams, recordings, and podcasts.
HeisenBERT puts "Bert" next to the host during a take. He listens, looks things up, fact-checks claims, and answers out loud in real time. Afterward you can edit the recording in the browser, add captions, and cut Shorts, all on one credit balance.

AI-Native Engineering
We build with agents, and we build agents that work.
Two sides of the same practice. One changes how fast we deliver your software; the other changes how much of your operation runs without anyone clicking through it.
How we build
AI-driven development
Agentic coding is part of our delivery pipeline, not a demo we run for clients. It is why a small senior team ships at the pace of a much larger one.
Spec-first workflows — written scope becomes the prompt, the tests, and the acceptance criteria.
Agent-assisted migrations and refactors across thousands of files, reviewed by a human before merge.
Automated code review, test generation, and dependency upgrades running on every branch.
Humans own architecture, security, and the merge button. Always.
What we ship
AI agents in production
Agents that take actions inside real systems — reading data, calling APIs, and making decisions on a schedule or an event, with a full audit trail behind them.
Tool-using agents wired into your ERP, CRM, ticketing, and internal APIs.
MCP servers that expose your own systems to Claude, ChatGPT, and in-house assistants.
Retrieval over your documents and databases — grounded answers, cited sources, no hallucinated policy.
Evals, guardrails, cost ceilings, and human-in-the-loop approval on anything irreversible.
Claude & OpenAI APIsModel Context ProtocolSelf-hosted open modelsVector & hybrid searchEval harnessesObservability & cost caps
Our rule for anything autonomous
Every agent runs with scoped credentials, a logged trail of what it did, and a hard stop before irreversible actions. Speed is worth nothing if you cannot explain what the system did last Tuesday.
Blockchain & Web3
On-chain engineering, without the hype.
We treat a blockchain as what it is: a very reliable, very public database with money attached. Most of the real work is the off-chain infrastructure around it — and that is the part we have been building for years.
Smart contracts
Solidity on EVM chains — tokens, escrow, vesting, access control. Testnet-first, fully covered by tests, and written against audited patterns rather than clever ones.
On-chain data & indexing
Transfer and swap pipelines, wallet clustering, and liquidity or price feeds pulled from RPC nodes, explorers, and DEX aggregators into a database you can actually query.
Wallets & payments
Wallet connect flows, signature-based auth, stablecoin settlement, and custody boundaries — so your product touches crypto without your team holding the keys by accident.
Trading & agent infrastructure
Event-driven services that watch chains in real time, score what they see, and act on rules: entry gates, risk limits, honeypot and liquidity checks, and a paper mode before a cent moves.
Keys stay server-side
No secret ever reaches a browser. Every third-party call is made by the backend.
Paper before production
Strategy and automation logic runs in simulation until the numbers hold up.
Chain-agnostic by default
Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and other EVM chains — the same codebase, a different RPC.
Boring where it counts
Custody, settlement, and upgrade paths use proven patterns, not novel cryptography.
How We Work
A clear process, no surprises.
Every engagement follows the same simple path — so you always know where the project stands and what comes next.
01
Discovery & Scoping
Fixed scope & quote
We map the problem, your existing systems, and the constraints before any code is written. You get a clear written scope, a realistic timeline, and a fixed quote — so you know exactly what you are committing to.
02
Design & Build
Working software, early
Senior engineers build in short, reviewable increments. You see working software early and often, with regular check-ins along the way — not a black box that opens at the end.
03
Deploy & Support
We stay on after launch
We ship to production, hand over clean documentation, and stay on for maintenance, iteration, and support. The relationship does not end the day the project goes live.
Why Choose Us
Why teams work with us
We are small on purpose — senior people, direct communication, and real accountability for everything we ship.
Senior engineers only
No juniors learning on your budget. Every part of your project is delivered by engineers with two decades of production experience behind them.
Integration is what we do best
Most of the real work is connecting new software to the systems you already run. That is our core competence — not an afterthought once the build is done.
A fixed quote or a dedicated team
A written scope and fixed quote for defined projects, or senior engineers embedded in your team for ongoing work. Either way, you know what you are paying for before it starts.
A long-term partner
Maintenance, iteration, and support are part of how we work — some of our client relationships go back to 2018. We do not ship and walk away.
The Team
Senior engineering, hands-on from day one.
Our company keeps a deliberately small core and brings in vetted specialists when a project calls for them — so you always work directly with the people building your software.
