Question 1

What kinds of web and mobile apps do you build?

Accepted Answer

We build production-grade web applications (React, Next.js, full-stack), native mobile apps (iOS in Swift, Android in Kotlin), and React Native apps when teams want shared codebases across platforms. We've shipped fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, travel, and enterprise SaaS products. Our typical engagement is a complete product build - frontend, backend, database, deployment - with quality engineering and DevOps embedded.

Question 2

What's your tech stack?

Accepted Answer

Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind. Backend: Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB. Mobile: Swift, Kotlin, React Native. Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure with Docker and Kubernetes. AI: OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, vector databases. Testing: Cypress, Playwright, Detox, JMeter. We pick the right stack for your project rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all template.

Question 3

How is "QA baked in" different from hiring a separate QA team?

Accepted Answer

When QA is part of the development engagement, the test code, the production code, and the deployment pipeline are all built by the same team. There's no handoff friction, no "throw it over the wall" moment, no test environment that drifts from production. We started as a quality engineering shop and grew into a development studio - that pedigree is why most of our clients ship faster, not slower, with QA included.

Question 4

Can you take over an existing project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of our engagements start mid-stream - codebases that were started by another team, products that need rescue, or features that need to be added without breaking what works. We start with a code review, document what's there, and propose a path forward before changing anything material. Our Engineering Audit is the typical entry point.

Question 5

Do you build native iOS/Android, or React Native?

Accepted Answer

Both. We pick the right stack for your project. Native (Swift, Kotlin) when you need platform-specific performance, complex animations, or features that cross-platform frameworks can't reach. React Native when you need iOS and Android to ship together with shared logic and a smaller team. We make this call together with you in the discovery phase, not by reflex.

Question 6

How do you handle DevOps and deployment?

Accepted Answer

DevOps is part of every development engagement, not a separate contract. Your CI/CD pipeline, infrastructure as code, container orchestration, and observability are set up before the first feature ships. We work across AWS, GCP, and Azure. We're certified in ISO 27001 and across major cloud providers, so we can ship into regulated environments (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2).

Question 7

Can you add AI features (chatbots, RAG, automation) to my app?

Accepted Answer

Yes - that's our AI Integration service. We build LLM-powered features into your existing or new application: chatbots, RAG-grounded search, agentic workflows, content generation, summarization. We work with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and self-hosted open-source models. We design with cost monitoring, hallucination guards, and observability from day one.

Question 8

How fast can you start?

Accepted Answer

Typically 1–2 weeks from signed engagement to first sprint. Our onboarding includes a kickoff workshop, repository access, environment setup, and a discovery sprint to align on architecture and roadmap. For urgent needs we can start with an Engineering Audit (2 weeks, fixed scope) while the broader engagement is being scoped.

Question 9

What does pricing look like for a typical web app build?

Accepted Answer

Project-based engagements start at $5,000 (small builds, MVPs, sprint-based work). Embedded development teams start at $8,000/month (Product Team - devs + QA + DevOps as one unit). Long-running product builds and multi-team engagements are scoped as Enterprise. We offer the Engineering Audit ($2,500, 2 weeks) as a low-commitment entry point.

Question 10

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Post-launch, you can transition to a maintenance retainer, an embedded engineer (part-time or full-time), or a Product Team continuation. We don't disappear after the build - apps need observability, security patches, dependency updates, and the next round of features. We're set up to be a long-term partner, not a one-time vendor.
