Custom platforms for mission-critical workflows — from legacy modernization to greenfield products — delivered by senior engineers who understand procurement, compliance and the quiet rules of regulated industries.
Every build engagement is an integrated squad — product, design, engineering, SRE — sized to your pace and held to a written outcome, not a timesheet.
Internal developer platforms — golden paths, templates, policy — that move product teams 3–5× faster without breaking the bank.
Strangler-fig migrations off mainframe, COBOL and classic .NET — without a rewrite, without a freeze, and without a year-long outage risk.
Hardened APIs that respect procurement, compliance and data residency — with contracts versioned, tested and documented from day one.
Production-grade React, Next.js, Swift and Kotlin builds — accessible, localized, and offline-capable where your audience needs it to be.
Automated testing, SLOs, chaos drills and tracing baked in — not bolted on when the auditor calls.
Senior engineers embedded with your team — retained 6–18 months — with knowledge-transfer and a clean exit baked into the contract.
We're allergic to staff-aug-as-default. Most engagements start with a two-week discovery that pins the shape before the SOW is counter-signed.
Jobs-to-be-done, constraint mapping, and a calibrated engagement shape — including a "do nothing" option and a buy-vs-build recommendation.
Architecture, API contracts, data model and UX — reviewed with your security, finance and audit leads before the first story card is cut.
Two-week iterations with shipped software at every boundary. Feature flags from sprint zero; user research every other iteration.
SRE, feature evolution and on-call — fully managed or co-managed — with a written exit plan and knowledge transfer at every milestone.
Figures pooled across custom-software engagements delivered since 2019.
We favor technologies that will still be maintainable in 2030, have public-sector ATO precedents, and don't demand a 12-person platform team to operate.
A cabinet-level agency needed to retire a 27-year COBOL benefits system without a freeze. We shipped a modern platform incrementally, running the two systems in parallel for eight months.
We built an event-intercept layer, dual-wrote to old and new, migrated programs state by state, and retired the mainframe with the lights on.
Fixed-outcome is our default — you sign for a written outcome, not a headcount. We run T&M only for indefinite steady-state work where the scope genuinely cannot be pinned. In either case, senior engineers are not billed as associates.
You do. Every SOW transfers full, irrevocable IP on delivery milestones. We keep anonymized architecture patterns and team know-how; your domain code and models are yours.
Written from the start. Every milestone includes a pairing window, architecture decision records (ADRs), runbooks and a clean-exit plan. We've happily handed off 40+ codebases to client teams and hyperscaler partners.
WCAG 2.2 AA and Section 508 as the default floor. Government-facing work often targets the higher AAA contrast baseline. Accessibility testing is part of the pipeline, not a pre-launch scramble.
Yes. We have delivered under FedRAMP Moderate, CJIS, IRS Pub. 1075 and HIPAA constraints. US-person staffing and environment controls are specified at SOW signature.
Only when it's genuinely the right shape — embedded tech leads, architects and platform engineers retained 6–18 months. We decline body-shop asks; our delivery model is squad-based and outcome-anchored.
Custom software rarely ships alone. Most programs bundle at least one of the below — staffed by the same senior team.
