Lead Developer
A lead developer is an experienced team member that can ensure project success by establishing design and development standards, fostering team transparency, promoting testability, and establishing continuous integration and rigorous version control. A good lead developer helps good teams become excellent and skillful teams. We offer Ruby on Rails and Java development services with an outstanding ability to deliver success.
Adoption of Agile Methods
Agile methods are proving to be a great way for companies to dramatically increase their development effectiveness. We can train and lead your teams in the latest methods including one of the most popular, Scrum. We can quickly help you adopt and use cost effective tools to promote flexibility and visibility within your team.
Test Driven
Teams that focus on testing move faster and with more confidence. Designs are simplified and they have the freedom to refactor to reduce technical debt. Outstanding support for testing at all levels exists in Java and Ruby and successful projects are exploiting automatic testing to a higher and higher level. We have helped teams learn to adopt and benefit from functional testing, unit testing and continuous integration. By beginning to shift to a test driven development methodology, you get to the 'ah-ha' moment that only experience will illuminate.
Web 2.0
WEB 2.0 (3.0?) is glossy and hot. Beyond the hype, there are some truly fantastic benefits from adopting semantic web and modern markup and integration techniques. We have helped clients implement standards-based web services using SOAP and REST as well as adopt ajax and JSON into their designs.
Software Configuration Control
Configuration management is an often overlooked and critical ingredient to successful development. We specialize in using git and svn to help craft a productive and secure workflow for teams. Our success with distributed and offshore teams have lead to many innovative ways to gain control and confidence over your development artifacts.

We work within your processes or offer suggested ones to round out your team's experience. We can provide very cost effective analysis and followup to ensure your project is on track.
Product Rescue
If you have a product or team in trouble or a system that needs to be revamped, you know you need straight answers and experience to guide your decisions. We have a strong track record for turning "impossible" into "success".
