R3 Health

Patient portal and staff admin for a modern health practice.

A HIPAA-compliant patient portal and matching staff admin dashboard. Patients open to a labs-forward home, review biomarker panels with per-marker trend charts, message their care team, and manage medication reorders. Clinicians work results and conversations from a dedicated admin surface.

CHURRDJ

Our own DJ brand and a live stem engine for Pioneer rigs.

An in-house brand we build and run end to end — proof we ship real products, not just client work. The web presence and a stem engine that splits tracks into vocal and instrumental on a DJ's spare mixer channels, designed, shipped, and operated entirely by us.

Read me

Chernicky Ventures is a one-desk software studio run by Zachary Chernicky in San Jose, California — an engineer equally at home building HIPAA-compliant healthcare platforms and his own DJ tooling.

We take on a few clients at a time and own the whole lifecycle: architecture, design, build, deployment, and the ongoing care that keeps software running. No account managers, no hand-offs — you work directly with the person writing the code.

Same hands behind R3 Health's patient portal and CHURRDJ's stem engine. We ship, then we keep it shipping.
