You built a successful business. We ensure your software can keep up.
Sound familiar?
- Your developer left and took all the context with them.
- Your freelancer stopped responding three weeks ago.
- Your app is slow and nobody can tell you why.
- You're the CEO but you're also the one triaging bugs.
- Your Rails app hasn't been upgraded in two years and you're not sure what's at risk.
- You've been told a full rewrite is the only option. (It usually isn't.)
How we take ownership
We don't start writing code on day one. We start by understanding what you have, what's broken, and what matters most. Here's what the first month looks like.
Week 1–2: Audit & Triage
Full review of your codebase, infrastructure, deploy pipeline, and dependencies. We identify security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and single points of failure. You get a clear picture of where things stand - no sugarcoating.
Week 2–3: Pragmatic Roadmap
We prioritize stability first, then velocity. We won't hand you a 90-day plan full of rewrites. We'll tell you what needs to happen now, what can wait, and what doesn't matter. You'll know exactly what we're doing and why.
Week 3–4: Early Wins
We tackle the bugs and performance issues that have been "unsolvable." The slow page loads, the intermittent errors, the thing that's been on the backlog for six months. You'll see results before the first invoice is due.
What happens after month one
The audit and early wins are just the beginning. Here's what it looks like when we own the technical side of your product long-term.
Feature Development
We collaborate with you on new features that drive growth for your business. You tell us what you need, we figure out the best way to build it and ship it.
Bug Investigation & Fixes
When something breaks, we're already on it. We diagnose, fix, and write tests to make sure the same bug never hits production twice.
Dependency Updates & Rails Upgrades
We keep your app current - Rails versions, gem updates, security patches. API integrations get deprecated, SSL certificates expire, industry standards change. We handle it before it becomes your problem.
Code Reviews
Every line of code gets reviewed before it ships. This is how we keep quality high and technical debt low across years, not just projects.
Deployments & Rollbacks
We plan deployments around your business needs. Everything goes through staging first. If something goes sideways, we roll back immediately. No surprises for your users.
Monitoring & QA
Automated testing, code linting, CI/CD pipelines, performance monitoring. The infrastructure that keeps your app healthy runs in the background so you never have to think about it.
What's included
- Feature development and roadmap execution
- API integrations and third-party service management
- Ruby on Rails upgrades and dependency management
- Automated test coverage (we target 80–90% coverage)
- CI/CD setup and deployment automation
- Cloud infrastructure management
- Performance optimization (database indexes, query optimization, caching)
- Security reviews and vulnerability patching
- Mobile application development and maintenance (iOS/Android)
- Task and workflow automation
- Custom design - wireframes, mockups, and redesigns

Technical Audit
We review your codebase and infrastructure and deliver an honest assessment. (This is where most clients realize the previous team left more problems than they knew about.)
