Taste
Product & requirements
Touch first, code later. An octopus tastes everything it touches, and I taste every business need before a line of code. The people, the problem, the requirements, the roadmap.
devtipus · a boutique dev studio
Fluent in business. Fluent in code. I’m Itay Ben Haim, signed Devtipus TaiTai, and for 20+ years I’ve translated between the people who need software & the people who build it.
The Grip. Won’t let go till it sticks.
01 · services
Four steps, one grip. Every project runs from Taste to Grip, with AI built into how I run it. AI researches and drafts, I think and sign. Missing just one step? Each one is a service on its own.
Product & requirements
Touch first, code later. An octopus tastes everything it touches, and I taste every business need before a line of code. The people, the problem, the requirements, the roadmap.
Analysis & design
No skeleton, no template. Every spec I write takes the exact shape of your problem, from client and server to data and screens.
Development & data
Many arms, one brain. Each arm thinks on its own and still moves with the rest, and that’s how I wire client, server and data together with the dev team. The data side I build myself.
Delivery
Suction, not pressure. An octopus holds on by suction, and I hold a project the same way, with the backlog and the dev and QA teams I lead, from the first story until it sticks.
I pick the right AI tool for each task, from research and specs to ERDs, APIs and mockups. It’s faster, and nothing reaches you until I’ve reviewed and signed it. Look for the signature.
02 · products
Products that started the way client work does, with a spec. Each one has its own brand and a Devtipus signature.
03 · who
Devtipus is me, Itay, with the Devtipus Network behind me, specialists I’ve worked alongside over the years and picked for the work we did together, each the best at one thing. I bring in the right arm for each job, and I stay responsible for all of it.

about · Itay Ben Haim, aka TaiTai
20+ years between business & code. As a systems analyst, product designer, product & project manager and dev lead, I find out what the business really needs, design the product around it, then lead development & data to deliver exactly that, with nothing lost on the way.
dev + טיפוס. In Hebrew, tipus is a character; in code, it’s a type. And the octopus echo fits me, since I touch every part of a project, from business and specs to code and data.
a character
A developer with a personality of his own, not a vendor.
a type
Types in code, schemas, ERDs and SQL. Where I spend my days.
an octopus
Eight arms and one grip. Many roles at once, and I don’t let go till it sticks.
Once on, it stays on. An octopus holds by suction, and I hold a project the same way, until it sticks.
Touch is taste. Each suction cup carries thousands of receptors, so an octopus tastes what it touches. That’s my analysis. I understand the business need before anyone writes code.
Many cups, one body. Each suction cup works on its own, at its own strength, and so do my roles. Analyst, product manager, team lead, data, each in the right dose.
Some projects need more hands than one person has. The Devtipus Network is a group of specialists I’ve worked with over the years and picked for the work we did together, each the best at one thing.
01
Everyone in the network is someone I’ve built with and seen deliver. No cold hires.
02
I bring in the specialist the project needs, and only when it needs them.
03
The spec, the plan and the result stay with me, whoever does the work.
