How We Actually Work
Pragmatic integration with your systems. Custom connectors built as needed. AI handles busywork so engineers focus on delivery.
We Integrate With Your Systems
JIRA, Confluence, ServiceNow, whatever your System of Record is—we connect to it. You maintain your tracking and compliance workflows. We build custom connectors that let us work at full velocity while keeping your SoR updated.
- AI auto-updates your JIRA from commits and PRs
- Status reports generated from actual work product
- Custom connectors built in days, not months
Custom Tooling Is Standard Practice
We're builders. Writing custom tools for a single project is economical now thanks to AI. During our 75-day modernization, we built 3 custom tools. That's normal for us. Integration code, automation scripts, connectors—we build what's needed.
- Custom connectors between your existing systems
- Automation that works with your workflows
- Tools we build for ourselves, we share with you
Our Approach
We Speak Both Languages: Technical and Procurement
Our co-owner Nicole Mazkour has 20+ years federal procurement experience including serving as State Department branch chief. She's sat on both sides of the table—as government buyer and contractor. We understand FAR/DFARS compliance, acquisition processes, and what agencies actually need vs. what gets written in RFPs. Technical excellence meets procurement expertise.
Demo-Driven Development
Regular demos of working software. Show what's built, get feedback, adjust course. Real systems you can click through, not slide decks. Status comes from demos, not meetings.
AI Handles the Busywork
Status reports, documentation, progress tracking—all automated through AI. Engineers build systems instead of writing about building systems. Your SoR stays updated; our engineers stay focused.
Direct Communication
Developers talk directly to end users. No telephone games through layers of BAs and PMs. The people building the system hear feedback from the people who'll use it.
Build First, Then Talk
AI changed the economics of prototyping. We build working systems faster than others can create mockups. Every pitch includes a working demo. Show, don't tell.
Pragmatic Process
We adapt to your required processes while adding our velocity multipliers. Need sprint planning? We'll do it. Prefer kanban? That works. We integrate with your workflow, not replace it.
AI Within Your Security Boundary
Zero Trust, TIC 3.0 compliant. We bring our AI systems within your network boundary, or connect to your in-house AI within your ATOs. Flexible deployment that respects your security posture.
Async-First, Meeting-Light
Written decisions in your documentation system. Threaded discussions where appropriate. Time zones respected. Deep work protected. Meetings when they add value.
Federal Compliance Depth
We've navigated Authority to Operate processes, FISMA, FedRAMP, Section 508, and federal procurement requirements across multiple agencies. Compliance isn't bolted on later—it's built in from architecture decisions forward.
Connectors Are Our Culture
We're engineers who automate everything. If you use JIRA and we use GitHub Issues internally, we build a connector. If you need updates in Confluence, we automate it. With appropriate access, your systems and our tools work together. The automation we build for ourselves, we share with you.
