About
One person + AI.
Full stack.
Dike Life is an AI-first software studio founded by Raman Simanenkau. Shopify Partner, Apple Developer, and the team behind Wholesale Whale and Dike Habits.
Raman Simanenkau
Software engineer with 10+ years of experience across full-stack web development, e-commerce platforms, and mobile apps. Worked with startups and established companies before founding Dike Life to build products that are simpler than what already existed — and to offer the same quality of engineering as a service.
Shopify Partner and Apple Developer. Built Wholesale Whale (Built for Shopify certified, 5.0 stars) and Dike Habits (live on the App Store). Both are used daily and maintained with AI at every step.
How I actually work
Every morning starts with AI reviewing overnight support tickets and flagging what needs attention. Development happens in a tight loop: I describe what to build, AI writes the code, I review and direct. Tests are written by AI, run automatically, iterated until coverage is solid.
It's not hands-off — it's high-leverage. The decisions are mine. The volume is AI's. That's how one person ships two products, handles support, and still takes on client work.
No roadmap theater.
No investor-driven pivots.
Dike Life is bootstrapped and independent. No board meetings, no fundraising cycles, no pressure to grow at the expense of product quality. Every decision optimizes for one thing: shipping software that works.
The products get better over time because there's no incentive to ship fast and move on. Wholesale Whale and Dike Habits are long-term bets — built to last, not to flip.
