Our Work

Because we  been building apps for the last 10 years (and have been doing tech for another decade+ beyond that), we’ve done a lot of different things. The sites below represent some of our favorites.

Key Clients in Our Portfolio

Waterfluence

Consulting, Full-Stack Development & Design

This client originally wanted help moving an internal Access database to the web to make viewing their water reports easier. As business needs morphed from having a simple file sharing system into a multi-sided, data-drive reporting platform (due to the success of our close collaboration with this client), we've continued to consult and advise on ways to improve both the business and the tech that undergirds the business.

As Waterfluence was looking to build out deeper UI/UX functionality, we also also introduced Ember to enable major frontend improvements. At this point, we handle all tech operations and have built a small team to help run this SaaS platform.

Olo

JavaScript Staff Augmentation

We were brought in to help this large, enterprise-focused, fintech startup in a high-stress / tight-deadline situation where they needed our assistance in quickly hitting a deadline for a major new client. Jumping in to their complex codebase, we quickly got up to speed and helped get their project out the door on time.

They were quite happy with our work and once the initial engagement was finished, we were asked to stay on to help with additional needs they had.

Tm2sign

Consulting & Training

We met with this client's CTO for a series of consultations as they explored how to migrate their complex Backbone into Ember. In addition to working with their CTO, we also did some team training to help them get up to speed on Ember.

Wake Solutions

Consulting & Full-Stack Development

We were brought in to build an HR applicant tracking system platform designed to handle customized, job application processes around the world.

Serving as tech lead with a small team of engineers overseas, we built the initial product and then aided in a major UI / design pivot. However, the business wasn't able to find good product/market fit and the product has been shut down.

Auditboard

Accessibility Consulting and Implementation

This rapidly-growing enterprise SaaS platform faced client churn for some key clients in the Fortune 100 due to lack of accessibility and WCAG compliance issues.

Our strike team worked closely with the internal Auditboard platform team to address key compliance issues throughout their platform and build an incremental migration strategy for their product engineering teams to aid in adopting WCAG best practices.

Agari

Full-Stack Staff Augmentation

This growing cyber-security company needed additional engineering help as they rebuilt one of their core products.

After our initial engagement, they were quite pleased with our work and we were asked to help a different team rewrite a key data processing pipeline, which resulted in dramatically improved processing times.

YOU @ College

Consulting, Security & Full-Stack Development

This higher-education startup initially brought us in to help resolve a critical mystery bug in their existing sign-up system. We quickly became a trusted partner and as they've worked with colleges and universities across the US, we've been actively helping them develop their product, scale and improve product and operational security.

Documoto

Ember Staff Augmentation

We were brought in to help this client hit a deadline as they completed a rewrite of their flagship app away from Flash/Flex to a modern Ember frontend. After completing the initial engagement, they asked us to extend the contract to continue helping their team and encourage Ember best practices.
