• we use iterative processes like Agile and involve the customer in all key stages
• we don't overengineer and love to design lean - for example we use DRY, KISS, YAGNI, etc.
• we avoid vendor lock-ins and prefer OSS whenever possible
• we only take on contracts we are sure of fulfilling ethically and with high standards
• result oriented - staffing based on capabilities and work ethics rather than academic/qualifications/politics

We develop applications for Windows, Linux, Android and the web. We have experience in developing the following:
Applications for businesses to manage human resources, inventory, corporate events, e-learning, equity trading and retail.
Applications targeted towards consumers like FTP servers, Gmail add-ins, android apps, Microsoft office add-ins and chat clients

We have experience in the following types of consulting engagements:

• For new software development - Requirement analysis, project planning, solution & technical architecture
• For existing software - Improving UX, Security, Performance, Architecture
• For "difficult" technical projects - Determining feasability and creating prototypes quickly
• For SDLC process improvements - implementing good practices like Scrum, TDD, CI, etc.

We have experience in improving software in the following areas:

• UX - We use your software, collaborate with your users to understand pain points. Our goal is to minimize clicks and make the software dead easy to use.
• Performance - We collaborate with your users to understand pain points. Typically the problems are slow loading forms or web pages but we also get excessive CPU or memory consumption issues. We run your software through profilers or load testing tools to pin point the problem areas. We refactor the source code or sql to eliminate the issues.
• Security - We review your applications and services for exploitable weakness like injection attacks, unsecured sensitive data, etc. We do this using manual reviews and automated tools like injection tools, code analyzers, port scanners, network sniffers, etc.
• Architecture - We collaborate with your engineers and review your systems to identify issues. Typically the problems we have fixed are overengineered systems and non structured source code. Our end goals are to make the architecture as real-time as possible with the minimum applications and services. Source code needs to be MANAGEABLE with minimum effort. For instance We use principles like DRY, YAGNI, KISS extensively here.

We have experience testing applications and services on windows, web and android. We provide the following QA related services:

• QA strategy and planning
• Manual and Automated Testing
• Performance and Load Testing

We have experience in deploying software on Windows, Web, Cloud (AWS, Google, Azure) and Android. We have experience using tools like Nagios, Jenkins, Docker, Ansible, Puppet, Chef

We can automate software related tasks or business processes. Some of the cases which we have handled in the past include:

• Microsoft office automation: Creation of business reports, presentations with minimal user inputs. We typically use VSTO, VBA for this.
• Device automation: reading and processing data from devices like generators, boilers and other equipment. We typically use a device specific extension coupled with a micro computer like the raspberry Pi for this. Software is typically implemented using C++ or Python.
• Typical Enterprise Business process automation: We create applications and services to automate relevant business processes.

• Converting an application to support a newer version of the operating system (Win7, 8, 10)
• Converting an application written for one os to work on a different os (Unix to Windows and vice versa)
• Converting an application developed with one tool to use a different one (.NET to Delphi, VB to C++)
• Migrating an application working with one framework to work on a newer version (Sharepoint, Dot net nuke, etc.)

We provide comprehensive technical training courses on the tools we have experience with. Training can be provided remotely via video conferencing or on-site

We have experience in creating documentation (in Pdf, Html, Word file formats), code samples, demo applications and videos (using Camtasia) for the following cases:

• Documentation for end users - We can create documentation which is easy to understand for end users using the software
• Documentation for engineers - We can create easy to understand and accurate technical documentation for software, frameworks, libraries, tools, etc. We can include step by step tutorials, flow and uml diagrams, code snippets, demo applications for easier learning
