Plan the hard parts first
We map data, sketch flows, and pick the stack before code starts. The hard problems are easier to fix in a diagram than in production.
We design, build, and ship custom software that fits how your team works. From the first scoping call to launched product, you stay in the loop and own the result.
Three principles guide every engagement. Plan first, ship in regular sprints, with a clean hand off.

We use AI to ship faster and write better tests. Where it fits your product, AI features earn their place. Otherwise it stays out of the way.
Code, cloud, docs, and runbook are yours from the first commit. No lock-in, no required retainers, no surprises when the engagement ends.
Most engagements look like one of these three.
You have a product concept. We help shape it, scope it, and ship the first release customers can use. We build a clean foundation that scales with you.
Typical fit: Founders, early-stage teams, anyone moving off a prototype or no-code tool.
Your app works, mostly. But it's slow, hard to change, or stitched together with workarounds. We audit, keep what's worth keeping, and rebuild what's costing you speed, reliability, or customers. No surprise rewrites mid-engagement.
Typical fit: Teams on Bubble/Retool/legacy PHP, anyone inheriting a codebase, companies preparing for a scale event.
You have a working product and a roadmap that's too long for your team. We plug in alongside your engineers, pick up whole features or modules, and hand them back ready to ship.
Typical fit: Product teams with a live app, companies adding a major new feature, teams layering AI onto an existing platform.

What lands in your repo and cloud account by the end of an engagement.
Three things clients tell us over and over. The reasons engagements with us feel different.
Not a cent until your first real deliverable is in your hands and running. If it doesn't work out, you walk away with nothing lost.
Same US-based engineers from scoping through handoff. The team you meet on day one is the team that ships your product.
The code, the cloud accounts, the docs, the IP. All yours from the first commit. When the engagement ends, your team picks it up without missing a step. No lock-in, no required retainers, no surprises.
Pick what you're building. We'll show you the stack.
Just a starting point. AI lets us pick up new tools quickly, so we work with whatever stack fits your product best.
Four phases on a cadence your team can plan around.
We get the full picture and put the plan in writing. Scope, deliverables, timeline, price, all in one document before anyone signs.
Wireframes, data model, and stack decisions land first. You review and adjust while changes are still cheap.
Real commits, live demos, and working software you can use. If priorities shift, we shift with them next sprint.
We deploy, instrument, and walk your team through the code. You leave owning the codebase, the cloud, and the runbook.
Every review here is from a real engagement with a real client.
Two questions. A realistic range. No email required.
Share what you're working on and we'll put together a free scoped proposal: the plan, the deliverables, the timeline, and the price. No obligation. No pressure. And no invoice until you see working software.
Each of these started as a scoping conversation. They're all still in production today, serving real customers, making real money.
KeepYourIP came to us with a manual, support-heavy workflow for managing intellectual property assets. We rebuilt the whole platform on Node.js so the full provisioning lifecycle runs end-to-end without anyone on the phone. Their support team got their weekends back.
Biocanic needed a practice management platform that could hold up under HIPAA audits, GDPR reviews, and daily use by a growing base of practitioners. We architected the tenant isolation, the scheduling engine, and the compliance-first data model from scratch. Today it serves over 1,000 practitioners across North America.
If yours isn't here, send it over. We'll answer it.
Most of our engagements run between 2 and 6 months from kickoff to a live launch. With AI-assisted development across planning, building, and QA, a focused MVP can go from first conversation to real users in 4 to 8 weeks. We scope everything in writing before you sign so the timeline you see is the timeline you get.
You don't pay a cent until we deliver the first real, working piece of software. If that first deliverable doesn't meet what we scoped together, you walk away without a bill. We built the company around that promise because it's the only way to prove we're aligned before you're in deep.
Yes, and it's one of the more common ways we work. We start with a short technical audit so you see what's healthy, what's a risk, and what needs to change, before anyone touches code. Then we pick up where your team left off, keeping what's working and rebuilding the pieces that are holding you back.
We do, all the time. An MVP engagement is scoped around shipping the smallest real version of your product that answers the question customers care about. We write the scope clearly so you know exactly what's in and what's out before we start building.
Most full-stack application projects with us fall between $50K and $300K, depending on scope, complexity, and timeline. A focused MVP typically runs $50K to $120K over three to five months. A full SaaS platform with auth, multi-tenancy, billing, and integrations is more commonly $150K to $300K over five to nine months. The cost estimator up the page will give you a realistic range for your specific project in under a minute.
A few things people tell us feel different: the same US-based engineers are in the kickoff, the code, and the handoff (no bait-and-switch), we scope the whole engagement in writing before you sign anything, and you don't pay until the first deliverable lands. On top of that, you own every deliverable you've paid for. Code, cloud accounts, and docs included. No lock-in, no hostage retainers.
Yes. We've built HIPAA-compliant SaaS platforms for healthcare clients and SOC 2-aligned apps for fintech and legal tech teams. Compliance lives in the architecture from the start: tenant isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging, role-based access. It's baked in, not bolted on right before launch.
We can. A lot of our app development work now involves layering AI into a product that's already live: smart search, summaries, assistants, workflow automation. We'll only recommend AI where it moves the needle for your users. If AI isn't the right answer for the problem you're solving, we'll tell you.
Tell us what you're building, or what you already have. We'll put together a free scoped proposal with a plan, a price, and a timeline. You don't pay a dollar until you see working software.
