I have the privilege of working with a highly talented and hard working group of individuals in Montevideo Uruguay, Córdoba Argentina, Skopje Macedonia, and Brazil (São Paulo/Florianópolis). Together we deliver high quality backend, front-end, and native mobile application development services for many notable companies around the globe. We believe that building great software is a fundamentally human endeavor and that great communication is the secret-sauce common to every great piece of software we've built. Our customers enjoy the experience, craftsmanship, camaraderie, and candor our team brings to the table each and every day.We've recently added what I like to call "devops as a product"; an informed / opinionated approach to what is valuable including TDD, CI, CD, Quality (not defined by traditional QA), and an operational framework for production environments at Internet scale. We believe that development does not end at the check-in. Only when it is in production, serving value for our customers, and our customers customers do we consider our work complete.
