How we work
- Lean methodology: we use iterative strategies. Our team builds to add value, whether to solve problems for our clients or internal ones.
- Design thinking: we create simple prototypes and user tests because we need to understand needs before we commit to building something.
- Flexible processes: forget about strict processes and structures. Our team is constantly in contact with stakeholders and we decide for ourselves how we are organized.
- Quality: all the code we provide must be well-structured, efficient and easy to maintain, however, we’re not obsessed with metrics. The best quality standard is for your coworkers to be able to understand your code and work with it.
- Open Source Philosophy: we use OSS when possible, and contribute our improvements back upstream. Once our codebase is mature enough, we plan to release the pieces that could be useful for the community.
