What Makes Us Different
Production Code, Not Slide Decks
We don't deliver PowerPoints and walk away. We write production-grade code that ships to real users and handles real load. Every engagement ends with working software.
Full-Stack Range
Mobile apps to cloud infrastructure to AI agents. One team, one codebase owner, zero handoff friction. The same person architecting your system is writing the code.
Enterprise Rigor, Startup Speed
Battle-tested processes from scaling public companies. The agility of a founder who doesn't need three meetings to make a decision. Big-company quality. Small-company velocity.
Founder on the Line
Brian is on the call AND writing the code. No bait-and-switch with junior resources. No account managers buffering you from the engineer. Direct access to 15+ years of experience, every time.
