What We Build

We bring our experience from the international development, federal contracting, and publishing sectors to distill technology into tools and answers for people. We integrate our delivery and passion with your mission and people while operating through an approach that is multidisciplinary and agile, evolving with your needs. We are founded on building comfortable relationships, working towards common goals - we are driven by our craft, not by profits. We do this by working openly, innate curiosity, and always giving our partners perfection.

How We Build: Approach

The basis of our approach is to understand where you want to be, not just the problems your organization currently faces. We look at more than your technology stack - we talk to you and get a clear record of the pain points. We talk through some ideas, run a few concepts up the flag pole, and then develop a strategy that suits your specific problem. We don't build around tools, software, or systems - we build around you. And then we stick around to ensure you're happy and that the solution is successful. Sounds all cute, but that's how we make it work well for you.

  • Open source and customer where appropriate
  • Agile methodology
  • Reliable and secure platforms
  • Built to handover, designed to be sustainable
  • Creative design
  • Grit, trust, and ingenuity.

How We Build: Tools

We are entirely tool agnostic and prefer to select the right technology for your specific need. If your situation requires a new system, we can assist with testing and approvals processes. Often, we use the following list, but we don't limit ourselves to it.

  • Code (JavaScript, Python, HTML5, etc.)
  • Cloud infrastructure & services
  • Databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ... )
  • GIS ("Geographic Information Systems", ArcGIS and open source)
  • Data and system security
  • Network, spatial, and statistical analysis
