Project Management & Coaching
We've spent years helping companies navigate their project management journey. We've seen what works and what doesn't, and we know that one size doesn't fit all. Drawing from our extensive experience implementing project management successfully across various client projects and within our own operations, we've learned that the best approach is one that's tailored to your organization's culture and goals.
We offer two complementary services. First, we can step in as interim project managers, handling planning, prioritization, sprint management, and stakeholder communication while we work with your team. Our goal here is to put your project and team back on the rails and headed in the right direction. All the while, we will be coaching your existing team leads and managers, helping them acquire practical skills and giving them the right tools to find out what works and what doesn't. Our coaching is hands-on and grounded in real-world experience, not theoretical frameworks.
With our coaching, transform your development process into a flexible, efficient, and value-driven one. We want to help your team become self-sufficient in project management, not to stay indefinitely!
AI Rescue & Coaching
From Chaos to Clarity: Rescuing Your AI Projects
Did someone promise you the moon with AI, only to deliver a buggy, unreliable code-base? You're not alone. We've seen multiple companies burn through budgets on vibe-coded AI features that don't scale, don't integrate, and don't deliver value.
AI Rescue - We dive into your existing AI-generated code, identify what's broken and move it to a clean architecture. Whether it's spaghetti-code mayhem, prompt engineering gone wrong, hallucinations, integration issues, or code that would make anyone cringe, we're here to help with you.
AI Coaching - We teach your team how to leverage AI and staying clear of its numerous traps. Not just "here's how to use ChatGPT or Claude" but when and how to use AI, which tools to use for which purpose and how to best leverage them. We help you build internal expertise and expectations grounded in the current state of AI.
Our approach: Practical, grounded, and focused on real business value - not hype.
Disaster Recovery
When Disaster Strikes, We're Here to Help
Your server was hacked, your website defaced, or your hard drive crashed - these nightmares happen. Whether it's a security breach, hardware failure, or accidental data loss, we can help getting your business running again.
Hacked websites - We minimize the impact, set up a temporary solution while we work with you on how to prevent future issues, and restore your site to its full functionality.
Prevention & Backup Solutions - After recovery, we help you set up proper backups and security measures so you're better prepared for next time.
Data Restoration - We will help you assess the extent of the issue and, if it is recoverable, will do our best to do just that or direct you to the right experts.

At LevIT, our work on often larger-scale, data-centric web applications has led us to encounter and overcome numerous complex challenges.
Through our client projects, we've identified recurring problems that demanded innovative solutions. Rather than reinventing the wheel with each new project, we've developed a suite of tools and libraries to address these specific issues efficiently. In line with our commitment to community and progress, we've chosen to share these solutions as open-source software.
The following projects represent our contribution to the wider development community, born from real-world needs and refined through practical application. Each of these tools embodies our philosophy of creating elegant, efficient solutions to common development hurdles.
Django Admin Deux
Reimagining Django's Admin Interface
Django's built-in admin is one of its most celebrated features, but it's a separate framework with its own patterns and limitations.
Django Admin Deux is a modern reimagining of Django's admin interface. It's built on top of Django's generic views using a factory pattern and leverages pluggy for extendability. This means your admin code follows the same patterns as the rest of your Django project. You can leverage the full power of Django's view system and build your own plugins for it.
Key features include a plugin-first architecture, a powerful Layout API for form customization, and seamless integration with existing Django patterns. It can even run side-by-side with Django's built-in admin for progressive adoption.

Django Classy Doc
Your Project's Custom API Documentation
As Django projects grow in scale and complexity, clear and comprehensive API documentation becomes crucial. While Django and Django REST Framework get such excellent documentation with CCBV and CDRF respectively, developers often find themselves lacking similar resources for their own custom code.
Enter Django-Classy-Doc, our open-source solution to this common challenge. Inspired by the aforementioned documentation sites, Django-Classy-Doc allows you to generate equally clear and navigable documentation for your project-specific code. This tool integrates with your Django application, automatically parsing and presenting your custom code in a familiar, user-friendly format.
By providing this level of clarity and accessibility, Django-Classy-Doc not only enhances your team's efficiency but also eases the onboarding process for new developers joining your project.

DRF Schema Adapter
Simplifying Large-Scale REST API Development
In the world of complex Django projects with hundreds or even thousands of models, creating and managing ViewSets and Serializers for each model can be a time-consuming and tedious process. Enter DRF-Schema-Adapter, a powerful solution designed to streamline REST API development with DRF.
DRF-Schema-Adapter acts as an intelligent wrapper around DRF's ViewSets and Serializers, dramatically reducing boilerplate code. With this tool, developers need only declare an Endpoint for each model, and DRF-Schema-Adapter takes care of the rest. This efficiency boost is particularly valuable during the initial scaffolding phase of a project, but its benefits extend throughout the entire development lifecycle.
As your project evolves, DRF-Schema-Adapter continues to prove its worth by simplifying the declaration of things like filters and custom actions. Moreover, it bridges the gap between backend and frontend development. By enabling the export of your Serializer definitions to formats compatible with your frontend library of choice.
Experience the power of automated, scalable API development with DRF-Schema-Adapter, and watch your productivity soar on projects of any size.
