What we build
A full software company,
not a one-trick shop.
Custom software and AI, native mobile apps, multi-tenant SaaS, and managed hosting with tooling most agencies can't offer. Same principal engineer on every line, whether the work is yours or ours.
Custom Software & AI
Internal tools, customer portals, data-driven applications, with AI woven in where it earns its place rather than bolted on. For businesses that know their process better than any vendor ever will.
More on custom software & AIMobile Apps
Native iOS and Android, or Kotlin Multiplatform for shared logic: one codebase, two app stores. The Mirror ships as a web app and a live iOS app from the same build.
More on mobile developmentSaaS Platforms
Multi-tenant from day one: auth, billing, admin tooling. The plumbing that turns a tool into a business you can run. We build them for clients and operate our own.
More on SaaS developmentHosting + Tools
Managed hosting that comes with engineering, not just a server: a client portal, Pulse analytics, a help desk, e-signature, and 24/7 monitoring, all built in-house and run by us.
More on the platformWe run our own
We don't just build software.
We run it.
SaaS we built, shipped, and operate ourselves: paying customers, real uptime, our own billing. Our flagship is a full platform for chambers of commerce.

How this works
Four steps.
No surprises.
Apply
Tell us what’s broken.
One form. Real budget, real problem, real timeline. We answer every application within five business days.
Conversation
Thirty minutes with the engineer.
Not a discovery call, not a sales pitch. You talk directly to the person who would write the code.
Scope
One page. Fixed price.
The outcome, the timeline, the price. You sign it or you don’t. If the work changes, we rescope together.
Ship
Code in production.
Working software on the promised date, owned by you completely. No proprietary frameworks, no lock-in.

The Sprint
One problem. One engineer. One ship date. A working prototype, a migration unblock, or a technical audit with an action plan you can execute on Monday.
Most businesses don't need a six-month build. They need one thing shipped, shipped right, this month.
Start a SprintBeyond the Sprint: build engagements typically $40K–$250K, fractional retainers quoted individually. Full pricing on Services.
Questions
FAQs from CTOs & product leaders.
Who actually writes the code?
Kevin Champlin — the principal engineer you talk to on the first call. No junior bench, no offshore team, no account manager relaying messages. The person who scopes the work ships the work.
How fast can you start?
We review every application within five business days and tell you honestly whether it's a fit. The Sprint runs in two-week blocks with code in production on the promised date — not a slideware roadmap.
What does it cost?
The productized Sprint is a flat $25,000 — half on start, half on delivery, refunded if week one doesn't put a working prototype in your hands. Custom engineering engagements start at $10K and scale with the outcome.
Do we own the code?
Completely. No proprietary frameworks, no vendor lock-in, no hostage situations. You get the source in your repo and we stay on as long as you want us — no longer.
Is the AI real, or a wrapper?
AI-native, not AI-added. We architect systems with intelligence at the core where it earns its place — and we'll tell you plainly when a problem doesn't need it. No demos that won't survive contact with production.
The door is open
Let's build something.
A real problem. A real budget. A bias toward shipping. If that's you, the door is open. If it isn't, we'll tell you honestly, on the same email.
