If you don't need custom software, I'll tell you — before you pay for it.

The Founder & Architect

I'm Dmitriy Fridlyand. I've been building custom software in Chicago since 2008.

Ex-Deloitte

Fortune 100

Chicago-based

18+ years in custom software

At Deloitte, I watched Fortune 100 companies spend millions on software that missed the point not because the engineers were bad, but because nobody truly understood the business before the build started.


I founded Neologic Custom Software to fix that. Every engagement begins with understanding the actual problem, whether it requires custom software, AI, or something simpler.


The right solution starts with the right diagnosis.

Who builds it

I design the system. My team builds it.

30+ senior engineers

Global team

No juniors on client work

No account managers

Architect in Chicago

I am based in Chicago — available for face-to-face meetings and onsite visits. Once the architecture is locked, a vetted team of 30+ senior engineers executes the build across time zones, using the exact stack the problem requires.


No juniors learning on your budget. No account managers in the middle. The engineering is global; the accountability is local.


You talk to me. My team ships.

Track record

CUSTOM SOFTWARE & AI

Law firms that tripled filing capacity without hiring. Healthcare agencies that automated $3.5M in compliance risk. SaaS startups that scaled to 75,000 users globally without a single outage.


We build custom software and AI solutions for mid-market businesses and startups whose needs go beyond off-the-shelf tools. From complex business platforms to AI-powered applications and workflow automation, we replace expensive workarounds with systems built around how businesses actually operate.


Real business problems. Practical technology. Proven results.
