Orel Factory
Hi 👋 My name is Aurélien (@aschelch), based in Mâcon, France 🇫🇷. I have been building software for more than 10 years using various tech stacks in mobile and web development. I love to work from the idea to the deployment of the product as a whole.
orelfactory.frWhat They're Known For
I’ve worked with Orel Factory (the person behind it is Aurélien — @aschelch out of Mâcon, France) on a couple of small-to-mid projects and also heard from other devs who’ve subcontracted to him, so this is a mix of first‑hand and well‑informed second‑hand impressions. What stands out immediately is that Aurélien is a true software architect who actually enjoys the full lifecycle: idea, prototype, and deployment. He’s not a one‑trick specialist — he’s comfortable across mobile and web stacks and has a practical skillset around integrations like Google Drive/Sheets and emerging AI/LLM tooling. If you need someone who can take a fuzzy product concept, turn it into a working MVP, wire up automations with Sheets, or add an LLM‑powered feature without overpromising, he’s very reliable.
Best For
Where he tends to add the most value is early product work and pragmatic engineering. Think MVPs, internal tools, automations that replace manual spreadsheet workflows, and prototype integrations of AI features (chat interfaces, prompt workflows, simple fine‑tuning or embeddings use). Small startups or solo founders who need a technical partner to turn ideas into something demonstrable will get a lot of mileage from Orel Factory. He’s good at making tradeoffs that keep time to market short while preserving a clean architecture so the project can scale later.
How They Work
The workflow is straightforward and developer‑centric. Expect a hands‑on founder doing a lot of the work personally: discovery calls to pin down scope, quick prototypes or clickable mocks, short iterative sprints, and frequent updates. Communication is one of his strengths — he’s responsive, documents decisions, and is comfortable handing over clear instructions and exportable assets (APIs, scripts, sheet templates). For deployment he usually prefers pragmatic CI/CD setups and will get you to a stable production release rather than an overengineered “perfect” system. If you want a single technical contact who owns the whole stack and communicates clearly, that’s exactly what you’ll get.

Considerations
A few practical things to keep in mind: Orel Factory is a small operation centered on Aurélien, so capacity is limited. That’s a feature if you want personal attention, and a constraint if you need a big team pushing multiple parallel tracks. Pricing is boutique — you’re paying for senior experience and single‑point accountability, not the lowest rate. Timelines can be very reasonable for MVPs and automations, but if you try to scope a large, enterprise‑grade project, delivery time will stretch or he’ll suggest bringing on extra collaborators. Also, while he does solid front‑end work, if you need pixel‑perfect design or a large UX team, you may need a designer partner; likewise, large scale QA and on‑call operations for 24/7 services aren’t his core offering unless you arrange a broader team/contract.
When to Look Elsewhere
When should you look elsewhere? If you’re a large enterprise that needs strict compliance, SOC2-level processes, heavy regulated‑industry experience, or a multi‑hundred‑person delivery team, Orel Factory isn’t the right pick. Also avoid hiring him as your vendor if you expect many simultaneous feature streams across mobile, web, backend, and ops — that’s where a larger agency or in‑house team makes more sense. Finally, if you need highly specialized, low‑level expertise (e.g., complex data engineering pipelines at petabyte scale, embedded systems, or long‑running 24/7 ops with a large support staff), this isn’t the fit.
