About

"Genius is the gold in the mine; talent is the miner who works and brings it out."
Lady Blessington

Our speciality is Ruby on Rails web development and it's surrounding ecosystem - that includes cutting edge new technologies -, we are very experienced in delivering all kinds of tech products such as e-commerce, e-learning, social networks, content management systems, processes automation.

We have worked for small and big companies, we offer an assortment of services that goes from greenfield project development life cycle, legacy projects rescue, nearshore outsourcing, and so on.

If you want to have not only a great web application in production but also improve your software development processes and quality assurance, we can help.

What we do

Outsourcing

We help you organize a team of developers that will work using established Agile best practices towards project management.

Sometimes it's just not possible to have a closed scope to start implementing. Dynamic businesses have changing requirements all the time. The best way to tackle this scenario is to use Agile practices where we start implement what's known to be the most important features first, divide the time in fixed periods - called sprints - and report back at the end of every sprint to have enough feedback to plan for a new sprint. This way you have control over the development velocity, you have what's most important delivered as soon as possible, and have the flexibility to change course to adapt to your business needs.

Ideal for medium to long projects or ongoing operations.

Fixed Time/Cost Projects

You want to implement a very specific application

If your business is just starting and you need a web application, built from scratch, the best way may be to specify an initial viable version. You will have a predictable fixed cost and delivery date and we will manage the implementation using Agile best practices. The Scope is variable and we frequently reassess what's to be built, so you have the software you really need at the end.

Ideal for companies that need a brand new application.

Technical Assessment

You have a big operation and want to make sure you're using the best practices.

This is specially useful to understand how your internal software development processes and outcomes are. The idea behind a technical assessment is to give you enough information so you understand it's life cycle, productivity levels, quality levels of the software being produced, and recommendation on how to improve.

Companies that maintain their own software.

Product Discovery

You want to improve your business through software.

It's not always obvious what kind of software you need to fulfill your business conditions. You may want to increase sales, you may want to attract more people, you may want to lower your costs, you may want to optimize your supply chain. The kind of software you need is not necessarily easy to figure out and that's where we can help you out.

Companies that want to gain competitive edge.

Consulting

Internal improvement of your company's processes

This could be the second stage after a Technical Assessment, where we figure out what your gaps are and we can come up with actions you can take to fix those gaps. It can be better processes, it can be better software, it can be team formation. You name it, we implement.

Companies that want to absorb industry's known best practices.

Who we are

We are miners.

Deliver value in any project is a very hard process. As software developers we strive to deliver not only well written code, but code that delivers real value to each client.

It's not good enough to just be concerned with code for code's sake, but to deliver code that solves real problems and delivers real value. And this is the mission that we, as miners, will keep digging deeper to achieve.
