Software Development
We build custom software. But more importantly, we build software that reduces your total system count — not software that becomes another line item on the maintenance spreadsheet.
The difference matters. Most development shops optimize for shipping features. We optimize for long-term operational simplicity. That means fewer moving parts, cleaner integrations, and documentation that someone other than us can actually use.
What We Build
Consolidation Platforms
The most valuable software we build replaces three or four existing tools with one. We specialize in:
- Internal tools that unify fragmented workflows
- Admin systems that replace spreadsheet chaos
- Integration layers that eliminate point-to-point connections
- Reporting platforms that pull from multiple sources
If you’re currently duct-taping data between systems, we can build the thing that makes that unnecessary.
Custom Web Applications
Full-stack applications built for maintainability, not just launch day:
- Modern frontends (React, Vue, Next.js)
- APIs designed for internal and external consumption
- Database architecture that scales without heroics
- Infrastructure that runs on your cloud, not ours
SaaS Products
We’ve built and operated our own SaaS products. We understand the full lifecycle — not just getting to launch, but surviving the next three years of feature requests, scaling challenges, and customer support.
- Multi-tenant architecture
- Subscription billing (Stripe, usage-based models)
- User management and access control
- Analytics that actually inform product decisions
How We’re Different
We Start With the Audit
Before writing code, we understand what you already have. New development should reduce complexity, not add to it. If the right answer is “don’t build this,” we’ll tell you.
We Build for Handoff
Every system we build includes:
- Architecture documentation (current, not aspirational)
- Runbooks for common operations
- Onboarding guides for new developers
- Dependency maps and integration specs
You should be able to operate — or replace us — without a knowledge transfer hostage situation.
We Don’t Disappear
Most agencies deliver code and move on. We offer ongoing stewardship: maintenance, monitoring, incremental improvements, and the institutional knowledge that makes those things possible.
The software stays valuable after launch because someone is still paying attention.
Technology Choices
We’re pragmatic about technology. We use what’s appropriate for the problem, not what’s trendy this quarter.
| Layer | Our Defaults | When We Deviate |
|---|---|---|
| Frontend | React, TypeScript | Vue for simpler apps, Next.js for SEO-critical |
| Backend | Node.js, Python | Go for performance-critical services |
| Database | PostgreSQL | MongoDB for document-heavy, Redis for caching |
| Infrastructure | AWS, Vercel | GCP if you’re already there |
| DevOps | GitHub Actions, Terraform | Whatever you’re already using |
We don’t force a stack. If you have existing infrastructure, we work with it.
Engagement Models
| Model | Best For | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed scope | Well-defined projects with clear requirements | 2-6 months |
| Time & materials | Evolving requirements, ongoing development | Open-ended |
| Stewardship retainer | Maintenance, monitoring, incremental work | Monthly |
We don’t require long-term contracts. If the work isn’t valuable, you should be able to stop.
