SEEKING WORK | US & Remote

I'm the leader of a high-skill design and development firm in the US with engineers in the US and Eurasia. Our engineers work on projects for startups and enterprises in the US, Europe, and Asia. I've been a software engineer and architect for many years for startups and enterprises, and that experience has taught me and our team how to take vague project requirements and outlines and pare them down to the essentials to get, and deliver, value, quickly. Let’s set up a quick chat to see if there’s a fit. Email - [email protected] We have immediate availability, but don’t hesitate if your project is 6+ months from now either!

Our pricing is great because we have strong talent in lower cost of living countries (Sweden, Russia, Kazakhstan, etc.). Our engineers are either hourly(all less than $55/hr) or we work out a project structure with milestones along the way on the terms that your team or organization needs. We encourage everyone to speak to other teams so they feel confident in our approach and price point. That said, we prefer to stay away from projects that don’t care about quality and only care about finding the cheapest team on the planet!

We have delivered applications from scratch and complete rewrites of existing applications that serve millions of users and directly generate $100’s MM in revenue. Some are quick and simple and others last 6-18 months. We are comfortable picking the latest technology stack to fit your needs, or taking over a C#, Python, or Java project. For design we’ve worked in Figma and implemented frontends with React, Vue, or HTML Templates using Bootstrap and Tailwind for CSS. We’ve deployed to AWS, Azure, and Heroku, and utilized PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Redis historically. We prefer simple architectural designs that don’t rely on a lot of services, unless necessary. Of course, we architect for future needs and growth, but we find most projects can operate with on pretty simple infrastructure to enable a smooth transition when your team takes over or joins our efforts.

Email me any quick questions you have at [email protected]

Tech competency in no particular order: C#, React, Python, Java, Vue, HTML, Bootstrap, Tailwind, AWS, Azure, Heroku, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Redis
