Purposeful Software · Est. 2026
We build software for people who care about quality — creative professionals, ambitious founders, and teams who need tools that actually fit the way they work.
Common Questions
Custom desktop, web, and cloud-native applications scoped individually around each client's workflow — not adapted from a template. Cadekami handles the full development lifecycle: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and documentation, so clients receive a finished, maintainable product rather than a handoff to an unfamiliar codebase.
Creative professionals, technology startup founders, and small product teams who need software built around their specific workflow rather than an off-the-shelf solution. Clients typically come to Cadekami when SaaS tools don't fit, when they need a senior engineering partner without agency overhead, or when a critical technical decision requires an experienced second opinion.
AWS-native: serverless architecture, API Gateway, Lambda functions, and AWS CDK for composable infrastructure-as-code. Every engagement is handed off with full IaC ownership — clients are never locked into a proprietary stack and can evolve the infrastructure independently as their product grows.
Chaptery is writing software built by Cadekami specifically for fiction authors and novelists. It consolidates manuscript editing, character profiles, world-building notes, and story timelines into a single environment — so writers stay focused on the story rather than managing content across multiple tools. Available at trychaptery.com.
Built by CadeKami from the ground up, Chaptery is writing software built around the way authors actually think. Chaptery brings your manuscript, characters, world-building, and timeline into one place — so you stay in the story, not the software.
Visit Chaptery →Your idea, built right. Scoped engagements for desktop, web, and cloud-native applications — designed from scratch around your workflow, not a vendor template. Typical engagements run from a focused MVP build to a fully productionized application with CI/CD, testing, and documentation included.
Backends that scale without the ops overhead. Serverless architecture, API Gateway, Lambda functions, and composable CDK infrastructure — built to grow with your product and handed off with full infrastructure-as-code ownership so you're never locked in.
A senior engineering perspective without the agency overhead. Strategy, toolchain decisions, build-vs-buy analysis, and process advice for founders and small teams facing important technical decisions — without the retainer or the slide deck.
Cadekami Software Solutions LLC is an independent software studio founded in April 2026 by Pat Cataldo and based in the United States. The studio specializes in three areas: custom software development for desktop, web, and cloud-native applications; AWS cloud infrastructure using serverless architecture, Lambda functions, and AWS CDK; and technical consulting for founders and small teams facing important technology decisions. Cadekami operates as a focused boutique practice rather than a large agency, meaning every client engagement is handled by senior engineers rather than delegated to junior staff. The studio's flagship product is Chaptery (trychaptery.com), writing software designed specifically for authors that consolidates manuscript editing, character tracking, world-building notes, and story timelines into a single environment. Cadekami serves creative professionals, technology startup founders, and small product teams who require custom tooling that fits their specific workflows rather than off-the-shelf solutions.
