Custom Software Development
Software built to move the business: clear to use, reliable under load, and structured so the second year of changes is as cheap as the first.
Custom software is worth building when off-the-shelf tools force your business to bend around them. We build web and mobile applications for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets, workarounds, and half-fitting SaaS, and who need something that fits the way they actually operate. The work spans the full stack: interfaces people can use without a manual, backends that stay coherent as features accumulate, and the data models, APIs, and infrastructure that hold it all together.
Our bias is toward senior, small teams and boring, proven technology. We reach for React, TypeScript, Node, and Postgres not because they are fashionable but because they are well understood, well staffed, and unlikely to strand you. Architecture decisions are made in proportion to the problem: microservices when the domain and the team genuinely need independent deploys, a well-organised monolith when they do not. The goal is always software your own engineers can pick up and extend after we leave.
Reliability is a first-class feature, not an afterthought. We treat CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and security as part of the build rather than a later phase that never comes. That means deploys become routine instead of nerve-wracking, regressions get caught before your customers find them, and performance and cost are tuned where it actually matters. When a legacy platform is holding you back, we replatform in stages so the business keeps running while the foundations improve underneath it.
What we build
Web App Development
Production web applications built for clarity, reliability, and growth, from first commit to launch.
SaaS Development
Multi-tenant SaaS platforms with the billing, auth, and reliability the model demands, built to scale from first customer to enterprise.
Frontend Development
Fast, accessible interfaces built with modern React and TypeScript that hold up as the product scales.
Backend Development
Well-structured services, APIs, and data models that stay maintainable as features and traffic grow.
Mobile App Development
Native-quality iOS and Android apps, typically from a shared React Native codebase.
API Development & Integration
Well-documented APIs and dependable integrations that connect your product to the systems around it.
DevOps & Cloud
CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and cloud setups that make deploys boring and recoveries fast.
Cloud Migration
Moving workloads to the cloud in stages, without stalling the business or surprising the finance team.
Platform Engineering
Internal platforms and paved paths that let your product teams ship without reinventing infrastructure.
Microservices Architecture
Service boundaries drawn to match your domain, so teams can move independently without chaos.
Blockchain Solutions
Smart contracts and on-chain integrations built with a clear-eyed view of where the technology actually helps.
Database Design & Optimization
Schemas, indexes, and queries designed for correctness first and speed where it counts.
Systems Integration
Connecting disparate systems into one coherent flow so data stops living in silos.
Performance Engineering
Profiling and tuning that removes the bottlenecks users feel and the costs you don't.
QA & Test Automation
Automated testing that gives your team the confidence to ship often without breaking things.
Security Engineering
Threat modeling, hardening, and reviews that build security into the product rather than bolting it on.
Technical Due Diligence
An honest read of a codebase, team, and architecture for investors and acquirers before they commit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does custom software development cost?
A first production version of a custom web or SaaS application is scoped per project, driven by scope, integrations, and how much design and data work is involved. We scope a fixed first phase and share the trade-offs up front, so the budget maps to outcomes rather than open-ended hours.
How long does it take to build a custom application?
Most first versions ship on a schedule we scope to the build, with a usable early build in front of stakeholders well before it is done. We work in short iterations so you see progress every couple of weeks rather than waiting for a big reveal. Hard deadlines are scoped explicitly, with the cuts made visible.
What technology stack do you use?
We build on proven, well-staffed technology: React and TypeScript on the front end, Node and Postgres on the back, deployed on mainstream cloud infrastructure. We reach for boring, widely understood tools on purpose, so your own engineers can pick up and extend the codebase after we leave.
Will we own the code, and can our team maintain it?
Yes. You own the code, the infrastructure, and the accounts, and we build in a conventional, well-documented way specifically so an in-house team can take it over. We treat a clean handoff as part of the job, not an afterthought.
Do you work with US companies and handle security and compliance?
Yes. We work with US startups and established businesses, keep overlapping working hours, and build security in from the start with threat modeling, hardening, and reviews. For teams heading toward SOC 2 or similar, we set the engineering foundations those audits expect.
Can you take over or modernize an existing codebase?
Often, yes. We replatform and modernize in stages so the business keeps running while the foundations improve underneath it, rather than betting on a risky big-bang rewrite. It starts with an honest read of the current code, team, and architecture.
