Will you sign an NDA, MSA or SOW?

Yes. We're happy to work under your paper or ours, and to sign an NDA before you share requirements.

How do you communicate progress?

Regular demos of working software, a shared backlog you can see, and a named point of contact for day-to-day questions. Status, risks and decisions are written down so stakeholders who aren't in every meeting can stay informed.

What happens after launch?

We hand over documentation and runbooks, and can stay on for support, monitoring and ongoing feature work under a retainer. If you'd rather bring maintenance in-house, we'll make that transition straightforward.

API & Systems Integration

Q: How do you scope and price a software engagement?

We start with a paid or complimentary discovery conversation (depending on size) to understand requirements, constraints and integration points. From that we propose either a fixed-scope project with defined milestones or a time-and-materials engagement with a capped monthly budget. Estimates come with the assumptions behind them, so you can see what would change the number.

Q: Who will actually be doing the work?

Senior engineers are involved from the first call through delivery. We don't hand projects to a rotating bench of subcontractors, and you'll know exactly who is working on your system.

Q: Who owns the code and IP?

You do. Source code, database schemas, infrastructure definitions and documentation are developed in a repository you control, and IP assignment is covered in the contract.

Q: Can you work within our security and compliance requirements?

Yes. We build with role-based access control, encrypted data in transit and at rest, audit logging and least-privilege access as defaults, and we're comfortable working inside your security review, vendor questionnaire and change-management process. Tell us which frameworks you need to satisfy (SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.) up front so they shape the architecture from day one.

Reliable APIs and integrations that connect your platforms, vendors and data, with the authentication, error handling and observability production systems need.

Integrations that keep working

Most enterprise software problems are really integration problems: data that should flow between systems and doesn’t, or does until a vendor changes a field. We build the connective layer carefully, with explicit contracts, defensive error handling and the monitoring to know when something drifts.

Typical engagements

Exposing your platform: a public or partner API with authentication, rate limiting and documentation.
Consuming third-party data: reliable ingestion of real-time or batch data, with fallbacks for provider outages. Our AlphaScreen build integrates live market data under heavy computational load.
Connecting internal systems: syncing CRM, ERP and operational databases without manual exports.
Preparing for modernization: wrapping a legacy system in a stable API before replacing it. See legacy modernization.

Capabilities

What we build and how we build it

API design

Consistent, versioned REST or GraphQL interfaces with clear contracts and published documentation.

Third-party integration

Connections to ERPs, CRMs, payment providers, market data feeds and vendor systems.

Event-driven workflows

Queues, webhooks and background jobs that move data reliably between systems.

Data synchronization

Idempotent syncs, conflict handling and reconciliation reporting.

Authentication and authorization

OAuth 2.0, API keys, scoped tokens, rate limiting and secure credential storage.

Observability

Structured logging, metrics and alerting so failures are visible before users report them.

Technology & Architecture

Technology we work with

TypeScript
Node.js
Python
PostgreSQL
OpenAPI
GraphQL
Webhooks
AWS

We choose tools to fit your environment, security posture, and team. If you have an established infrastructure, we build directly into it rather than introducing unnecessary dependencies.
