Our client was born out of a desire to help innovators and disruptors harness the full power of custom software development. They’re always searching for people who care passionately about their craft, embrace the humility of consulting, and consider themselves evangelists for software best practices.

They’re dedicated to growth through discipline, collaboration, and mentorship. Their goal is to find progressive ways to build software as small teams of passionate craftspeople. They help their clients—from brand new start-ups to enterprise-level organizations—implement their own diverse cultures and software development mastery.

• Worked closely with Product Management, Engineering, and other stakeholders to meld customer desires with business needs.
• Designed user journeys, personas, experiments, and any other things necessary to best serve their clients’ goals.
