Our history

Making magic happen for devs

Software developers have a magical ability to create something out of nothing - to bring ideas to life and to inspire others. But, poor quality code and technical debt slow teams down to the point that that magic goes away. We’re a team of developers who’ve lived and breathed the pains of codebases slowed down by technical debt and are on a mission to make that a thing of the past.

We’re just at the beginning of our journey to continually shift code quality further left. A developer on a typical team spends more than a quarter of their time dealing with legacy code and technical debt, and teams with high technical debt are only able to spend 50% of the time on new features that a team with low technical debt can. This shouldn’t be the way software development is done.
