Software engineering for Chicago.
Senior, embedded engineering for Chicago-area teams shipping AI, machine learning, and custom software in production. Pick a practice below — or talk to us about something we haven't listed yet.
Chicago's economy runs on insurance, logistics, manufacturing, and financial services — not just software. That's the client base we've built our Custom AI Solutions practice around: bespoke agents and automation wired into the systems these industries already run on, not demo-ware built for a Series A pitch deck.
We've shipped for both 80-person Series B teams and Fortune 500 divisions, and we hold the same engineering bar for both — the difference is governance footprint, not code quality. Central Time overlap means daily standups happen at human hours for teams from O'Hare to Naperville, and we staff Chicago engagements with people who've already shipped in insurance, logistics, manufacturing, or healthcare — Chicago's real economy, not just the industries that make good conference talks.
Call Me is a good marker of the reliability bar we build to: a secure calling app designed around the idea that when the connection matters most, it can't fail — the same standard we hold Chicago's mission-critical systems to. See how we built it →
Do you work with Chicago's traditional industries, or just tech startups?
Traditional industries are the core of our Chicago practice — insurance, logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare account for most of our client base here, alongside B2B SaaS.
What size companies do you work with in Chicago?
Both — we've shipped for 80-person Series B teams and Fortune 500 divisions, holding the same engineering bar for each. The governance footprint scales; the code quality doesn't change.
Is delivery really same-timezone?
Yes. Central Time overlap means daily standups and on-call windows happen at human hours for teams from O'Hare to Naperville.
How do Chicago engagements typically start?
A two-week paid discovery sprint is the most common entry point — you leave with a working prototype, an architecture doc, and a delivery plan.
