Started off as a casual freelance contracting business, then moved on to full-time contracting, and then back to casual freelancing.Our focus was to provide software and prototyped hardware solutions to anyone. Our specialities included mobile development (for any platform), social media/community integration, desktop applications (OS X, Windows), custom server-side software (sockets, SMS, backups, logging) and hardware prototypes using Arduino, Tessel and Raspberry Pi.Already… Started off as a casual freelance contracting business, then moved on to full-time contracting, and then back to casual freelancing.Our focus was to provide software and prototyped hardware solutions to anyone. Our specialities included mobile development (for any platform), social media/community integration, desktop applications (OS X, Windows), custom server-side software (sockets, SMS, backups, logging) and hardware prototypes using Arduino, Tessel and Raspberry Pi.Already under our belt had been some extremely notable achievements. One of the proudest was working with Teespring which is a YCombinator company, with $56 million of funding achieved - we worked closely with them in their early days.I have kept my consulting business open for small side consults.
