About SkinSoftware
Software works best when function and experience are considered together.
Company
Based in Zürich. Built around understanding.
SkinSoftware GmbH was founded in 2021 by Andrea Ciani. The company brings software engineering and product thinking together to create mobile products that are useful, understandable, and technically sound.
Today the focus is on helping companies adopt AI pragmatically: building lean apps faster, adding AI where it serves users, and keeping the result maintainable. SkinSoftware applies the same approach to its own products, such as Porkfolio, an iOS app with optional on-device AI assistance. Understanding the client still comes first: their processes, business goals, users, and constraints.
Founder
Andrea Ciani
Founder and software engineer. Andrea is your direct contact from the first call to release, for consulting, AI transition questions, app development, and AI integration, with no hand-offs between sales and delivery.
Discuss a project with AndreaPrinciples
Listen precisely
Start with the actual operating context rather than a predetermined technical answer.
Make complexity legible
Turn technical and AI tradeoffs into decisions that product and business teams can understand.
Use AI with judgement
Apply AI where it makes delivery faster or products better, and keep review, testing, and responsibility human.
Production in Switzerland
Close collaboration, direct responsibility.
Swiss production is central to how SkinSoftware positions and delivers its work. When your data needs to stay in Switzerland, app backends, databases, file storage, and backups can be hosted with Swiss providers, and AI features can run on models hosted in Switzerland. SkinSoftware also runs its own local AI infrastructure in Switzerland, used for private development on request. Hosting, data location, and AI providers are agreed with you for each project.
