Custom software

You need something built. We build it.

Sometimes that means taking the whole thing: working out what it has to do, scoping it, building it, shipping it. Sometimes it means dropping into the team you already have as senior firepower until the work is done. Both are normal here.

How we engage

Two ways to get it done.

Take the whole build off your plate, or put a senior developer inside the team you already have.

We build it

We sit down and work out what it actually has to do, write the plan, then build and ship it. You get working software in releases, and you own the code and the data at the end.

  • Requirements gathered properly, not guessed at
  • Fixed scope and fixed price before anyone writes code
  • Shipped in releases, so value lands early

We join your team

You already have developers and you need senior firepower for a stretch. We work inside your repo, your stand-ups, and your review process until the thing is out the door.

  • Embedded with your team, in your tools
  • Architecture, code review, and hands-on delivery
  • By the month, and easy to stop when you no longer need it

What we build

From an internal tool to a customer app.

Internal tools

The admin app, the scheduler, the approval queue. The thing your team runs the day on, built to fit the way they actually work.

Customer-facing apps

Portals and apps your customers log into, with the accounts, permissions, and self-service that saves your team the phone call.

Integrations and data

Two systems that refuse to talk, a nightly sync, a pipeline feeding reporting. The plumbing that stops anyone retyping anything.

AI where it earns its keep

Document reading, request routing, drafting, follow-ups. Built into your workflows, not bolted on as a chatbot.

How it works

How a build runs.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you need

    A short call about the problem: what the software has to do, who uses it, what it has to talk to, and what happens today without it.

  2. 02

    Scope it properly

    A written plan with a fixed price attached, so you know what you're buying before anyone opens an editor. The plan is yours whether or not we build it.

  3. 03

    Ship in releases

    The first useful piece lands in weeks, not at the end, so you're looking at working software while there's still time to change your mind.

How engagements work

Two ways to work. Two ways to pay.

Neither one bills by the hour, and you know the number before we start.

We build it

Fixed priceafter a two-week paid discovery

Discovery is a short paid engagement that ends in a written plan with a price attached. The plan is yours whether or not we build it. If we do, the number is agreed before anyone opens an editor.

  • Two-week discovery, fixed fee
  • Fixed price for the build, agreed up front
  • Shipped in releases, so value lands early
  • You own the code and the data

We join your team

Monthlyone senior developer, month to month

You already have a team and a backlog. We work inside your repo, your stand-ups, and your review process until the work is out the door, then stop.

  • Month to month, ends when the work does
  • No recruiter fee, no ramp-up on your side
  • Architecture and code review included
  • Scale up or down as the work changes
