Full Stack Software Development
Custom applications built end to end, by the person who scoped them.
Custom, when off the shelf does not fit
Most businesses should buy software rather than build it. We will tell you when that is the answer. Custom development earns its cost in the places where your process is the thing that makes you competitive, or where the available products would each solve seventy percent of the problem and leave you reconciling the rest by hand.
What end to end means here
The database schema, the queries, the business logic, the integrations, the interface, and the deployment pipeline. One person scopes it, designs it, and is accountable for it, so nothing falls into the gap between a front-end contractor and a database contractor who have never spoken.
- Web and business applications built on the stack that fits the problem, not the one that is fashionable.
- Systems integration. REST and SOAP APIs, OAuth 2.0, and carrier APIs including UPS and FedEx.
- Directory and authentication. Active Directory and LDAP, single sign-on.
- Reporting and data access layered over the systems you already run.
- Deployment. Docker, Git, CI/CD, and Cloudflare, with a pipeline you own rather than a black box.
Proof
We engineered the real-time middleware for the FedEx Small Package Sortation System in Memphis, connecting the sorter floor to the control system, translating routing commands and feeding high-volume sortation data into a live database as packages moved.
We built long-haul optical transport software at Ciena that shipped into production at Verizon, AT&T, and British Telecom, including the embedded C on the nodal control processor and the simulator the application teams developed against.
We designed and shipped the first PC-based in-store lottery terminal in the United States, fielded statewide for the Connecticut Lottery, including the operator interface and the backend communications driving the printers and scanners.
More recently, platforms integrating UPS and FedEx REST and SOAP APIs over OAuth 2.0 that delivered substantial shipping-cost reductions for their users.
Stack
SQL, PHP, JavaScript, C#/.NET, Java, and C/C++ including embedded and cross-compiled work. Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and T-SQL underneath. Docker, Git, CI/CD and Cloudflare for delivery.
How an engagement runs
An assessment and a written scope first, then a design you approve, then build in increments you can see. You get the source, the repository, and the deployment pipeline. There is no arrangement here where the software works only as long as you keep paying us to hold the keys.
Who this is for
Businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and shared drives for something that matters, or that need two systems to talk to each other and have been quoted an integration project that costs more than the systems did.
Common questions
Should we build or buy?
Buy, unless your process is the thing that makes you competitive, or unless every available product solves most of the problem and leaves you reconciling the rest by hand. We will say so when buying is the better answer.
Do we own the code?
Yes. You get the source, the repository, and the deployment pipeline. There is no arrangement here where the software keeps working only while you keep paying us to hold the keys.
What happens if we stop working with you?
You keep everything and another developer can pick it up. That is a design goal, not a courtesy: the work is documented and the pipeline is yours, so continuity does not depend on us being available.
Can you work with the systems we already have?
That is most of what integration work is. REST and SOAP APIs, OAuth 2.0, carrier APIs including UPS and FedEx, and Active Directory or LDAP for authentication.
Talk to us about your system
Every engagement starts with an assessment and a design you approve before anything changes. If you would rather talk it through first, that is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
