Ask, and you shall be given.

Technologies and trends keep changing. What our Clients expect from us never does. This is why we only build our software based on first principles: high performance, extensibility and scalability, security, ease of deployment, a superior user experience, and low cost of maintenance when we are no longer around.

Architecture & Engineering

We design and build back-end architectures, of any size and complexity, that may reinvent parts of your business, perform incremental improvements on the existing…and anything in between.

User Experience

We deliver compelling User Experiences, grounded on industry-specific User Research and modern Interaction Design principles, across mobile, web, and desktop.

High-Performance Systems

When your workload demands it, we go deeper. Our senior engineers have 20+ years of experience building high-performance distributed systems on bare metal — in banking, automation, and gaming — where every microsecond counts.

Global Delivery

All of our Client projects benefit from a balanced mix of senior resources closer to your industry and location, and talented, vetted freelancers from around the world.

Deep domain expertise where it matters.

Financial Markets

+

We have over fifteen years of experience with financial markets companies of any size and across buy and sell-side: investment banks, hedge funds and asset managers, commodity trading houses, brokerages, family offices, and fintech start-ups.

We have built software covering most front and middle-office functions: market data sourcing and enrichment, liquidity aggregation, trade capture, valuation, pre-trade risk and analytics, execution and order management, compliance and reporting. This has given us a uniquely rich understanding of the technical, quantitative, management and regulatory aspects of technology projects in this space.

Customer-Centric Platforms

+

Digital transformation is no longer a buzzword. It is an imperative for any organization to reach, engage, serve, understand their Customers using digital platforms.

We have significant expertise creating complete platforms that simplify and uplift both your Customer-facing and internal functions. We build back-end architectures, of any size and complexity, that may reinvent parts of your business, perform incremental improvements on the existing…and anything in between. Perhaps more critically, we deliver compelling User Experiences, grounded on industry-specific User Research and modern Interaction Design principles, across mobile, web, and desktop.

IoT & Connected Intelligence

+

The Internet of Things paradigm is revolutionizing the way we live, work and play. Combined with inexpensive cloud services, IoT technologies open endless scenarios to make every conceivable activity more efficient, productive and enjoyable.

With credentials including one of Europe's first large-scale banking security automation platforms and cutting-edge industrial chemistry robotics, our Team has significant experience with all key aspects of a modern IoT/automation project: sensor fusion on smartphones and wearable devices, edge computing, real-time processing using rule-based, statistical and ML-based methods, visualization and control dashboards, and more.

The people behind the platforms.

Our Senior Partners lead every engagement. Behind them is a wider team of architects, engineers, designers and specialists — senior resources closer to your industry, complemented by talented, vetted professionals from around the world.
