Regulations & compliance-ready engineering

We build software that supports compliance requirements, but we don’t “certify” compliance. Compliance is defined and validated by your security/legal team or a third-party auditor; we implement the engineering work to meet those requirements.

Clients Say

I used two different development firms before finally finding MEV. We have a video advertising technology platform --- with over 140 repositories at GitHub --- so it was (and is) a lot of work, but the MEV team has been amazing. They, unlike the other firms, document everything with a clear plan, weekly calls, and they do what they say they will do --- on time and on budget. They also came to me with solutions and creative ideas. Their team is pragmatic, hard working, diligent, and extremely competent. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Like an extension of our team, we booked daily calls throughout the duration of our initial contract to build a B2B Platform facing senior leaders in Media; I say initial as we fully intend to continue our engagement. Thoughtful, experienced, consultative and incredibly efficient, I would not hesitate to recommend MEV (we worked with Olesia, Bogdan and Max with Alex guiding the business side always with professionalism and candor). If you're building something, talk to MEV and then hire them.

MEV has a deep desire to understand what a platform does, what functionality it delivers, and how it creates value for customers. That allows MEV to develop technology solutions that not only solve complex challenges, but also build a platform that is scalable and extensible. As we’ve grown to 400 hotels, our system’s performance is keeping pace, and our integrations meet the demands of our customers.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. In many cases, the fastest progress comes from clarifying interfaces and ownership rather than changing people or providers.

Yes - we have experience with the major privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, TCF 2.2, etc.) and understand where privacy touches the programmatic stack (bidstream data, logs, consent signals, etc.). To clarify, we expect the client (or their privacy counsel) to define the exact compliance boundaries, and we’ll handle the technical aspects accordingly.

Yes. Once active development wraps up, we can continue maintaining and supporting your platform through our Maintenance and Support Service. We ensure that all necessary technical updates are handled, the product remains stable and secure, and you can roll out new features when needed.

We provide adtech platform engineering solutions that help media and entertainment companies build, modernize, and scale their advertising platforms.

This includes designing custom ad systems, integrating existing ad stacks, and improving performance, data reliability, and compliance. The focus is on keeping monetization stable under real traffic, supporting growth, and reducing operational risk as the business evolves.
