CASE STUDY
University of Chicago
We were selected by professor Steven Levitt, co-author of New York Times Bestseller "Freakonomics," to work with an innovation lab dedicated to finding unorthodox solutions to difficult social problems.
Our service oriented architecture performs real-time analysis on trillions of events annually.
CASE STUDY
IBM
We worked with the legendary technology brand to build a series of elevated lead-generation assessments.
CASE STUDY
Vital City
Working with Design For Progress, we developed the software and workflows that allowed them to launch a new digital publication, Vital City, focused on criminal justice reform in New York City.
We also worked with them to develop an interactive digital art-piece that teaches people about the history of gun violence in New York.
Think we can help?
We build software from scratch or fix existing software. We specialize in augmentation and leadership for distributed development teams.
How do we do it?
We've been given the challenge of putting ourselves in the shoes of myriad different folks, ranging from prisoners to soccer moms, from high-powered executives to purchasers of men's underwear.
Serving and solving doesn't always mean using the most sophisticated technological tools available. In fact, we're suspicious of solutions that take a long time and introduce complexity—we are extremely careful to spend our time working on the right problems.
We carefully research and choose our tools based on the needs of the project, not what's trendy. That said, here are some of the tools we've come to love:
Languages
- Elixir
- Golang
- GraphQL
- Javascript
- Ruby
Libraries / Frameworks
- Phoenix for Elixir
- React
- Ruby on Rails
- Typescript
- VueJS
Processes / Philosophies
- Agile / XP
- Product design sprint
- Human centered design
