We write Rails the way it was meant to be written. And we help engineering teams make the shift from writing code to reviewing it — the workflow where AI authors and engineers direct. Former GitLab and GitHub staff, Rails contributors, AI researchers.
Your Rails app has fat controllers, models that do everything, and a test suite that nobody trusts. You know it. Your engineers know it. It costs you more to change than it cost to build.
We’ve shipped production software across industries that don’t tolerate “move fast and break things.”
Build pipelines that actually work at scale.
We’ve built and shipped production systems across industries where reliability, scalability, and precision are non-negotiable. From fintech to AI-driven platforms, our experience goes far beyond typical development work.
Some of what we build, we ship for everyone. No subscription, no lock-in — just useful software you can run yourself.
Business management for professional services firms. Employee tracking, client management, work logging, and invoicing in one self-hosted system. Syncs with Asana, Linear, and your accounting software. AI-ready via MCP server. Your data, your infrastructure, no subscription fees.
Following the conventions Rails was designed around: skinny controllers, models that own their data, service objects only when genuinely needed, Hotwire over React where Rails shines. It means a new engineer can open the codebase and understand it without a two-hour onboarding. Most Rails apps we see don't have that. We fix it.
Your engineers stop writing code. They write specs, review AI output, and merge. We set up the tooling — Claude Code, Cursor, the scaffolding that makes it all work — rebuild the workflow, and coach the team until that's just how they operate. Typically 4–8 weeks to get there, permanently faster after.
Yes. And you'll get AI-native workflows baked in from day one — so your team is reviewing AI-written code from the first sprint, not after a painful transition later.
Usually within days of signing. We don't have a 6-week onboarding process. We're engineers, not bureaucrats.
Absolutely. We integrate with your engineering team, follow your conventions, and write code that fits seamlessly into your codebase. For the AI transition, we work alongside your team — not instead of them.
We scope engagements and price them accordingly. No hourly billing games. You'll know what you're paying before we start.
Whether you’re dealing with messy code, scaling issues, or want to shift to an AI-driven workflow — we’re here to help. Tell us about your project and we’ll guide you with the right solution.
