Custom Software Development Agency

We've built custom software for Education, Financial Services, Online Publishing, Real Estate, Health Care, Non-Profit, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Entertainment, Internet, Fashion, and Consumer Goods-among others.

It depends on scope. A focused MVP or integration project might take 6-10 weeks. Larger platform builds typically run 4-8 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline after discovery.

Yes-it's our specialty. We call it brownfield development. We assess what you have, identify what's worth keeping, and build from there.

We're headquartered in New York City, with senior engineers across the Americas and Europe. Our distributed team means faster turnaround without sacrificing quality or communication.

Most engagements start with a focused discovery phase, then move into monthly retainers for ongoing development and support. We scope work as fixed-fee or monthly retainers depending on the nature of the project. Full builds vary based on complexity. We're not optimizing for one-off projects. We partner with teams who want a long-term engineering relationship.

Carefully, and with respect for the decisions that got it here. We've developed a systematic approach to codebase onboarding: reading code to understand intent, tracing behavior through the system, mapping dependencies, and identifying patterns before touching anything. We typically reach meaningful productivity within 2–4 weeks on a new codebase. Our default is to improve incrementally — not rewrite — unless the architecture is fundamentally misaligned with where the product needs to go.

It means our engineers use AI tools to accelerate the parts of development that benefit from acceleration — generating boilerplate, drafting tests, writing documentation, and doing initial code review passes. Every output goes through human review before it becomes part of your codebase. Our senior engineers make the architectural decisions, handle the judgment calls, and own the quality of what ships. AI handles the first draft; humans handle everything that actually matters.

Fixed-fee works well when the scope is well-defined — a discrete build, integration, or feature set where we can draw clear boundaries around what's included. Retainers work better for ongoing development, brownfield work, or situations where requirements are likely to evolve. Most of our longer-term client relationships start with a fixed-fee discovery or initial build, then move into a retainer as the partnership deepens. We'll tell you which structure makes sense for your situation.

They always do. We build change into how we work rather than pretending a spec written at the start of a project will survive contact with reality. On fixed-fee projects, material scope changes get discussed openly and repriced if needed — no surprises. On retainers, we adjust priorities collaboratively as your needs shift. The goal is a partnership where you can tell us what changed without worrying about a change order fight.
