We're not your garden-variety geeks..
No glasses or pocket protectors here. Our philosophy is “look good, be good.” And when we’re not standing around looking good in our Gucci loafers, Tom Ford sports jackets, and beards, we’re doing cool stuff like this for people:
Web Development
Our development methodology is iterative, incremental and highly responsive to change. This regular cycle of results makes it easy to benchmark the amount of work done, as well as the speed at which the project is moving, providing both accountability and results.
Mobile, Hybrid and Progressive Web App (PWA) Development
We offer both native and hybrid mobile development services and understand the trade-offs between the two. We're a future-first agency and rapidly adopting the latest emerging technologies like Swift and React Native.
Microservices Architecture and Integration
The days of monolithic web applications are over. Your future relies on being able to scale quickly to meet growing demands. We can help you design a new microservices architecture, or decouple an existing set of APIs into atomic microservices.
Business Process Automation & AI
One of our greatest passions involves identifying, optimizing and automating inefficient business processes. Rapid economic and technological change makes operational change a requirement. Our team can help you identify and automate processes with tried and true automation tools.
Reactive UI / UX Design
Style is important. When it’s a way of life it becomes truly timeless. Our solutions meet our clients’ current and future needs. We call it “Design Sustainability” and it’s always in fashion, regardless of what tools are currently in vogue. Having said that, we're currently fully embracing reactive Javascript frameworks like Vue.JS and React.JS.
QA, Continuous Integration & DevOps
Many of our early-stage (and even some enterprise) clients do not have formal CI/CD processes in place. Regardless of the size of your project, we'll help you create a QA/CI/CD pipeline that allows you to incrementally deliver change to your production systems without fear of breaking anything. We're platform agnostic, but tend to favor tools like Jenkins, Codecov, CircleCI, Github and marker.io.
