Our model is unique in the software development industry. We do the hard work of finding the US clients and scoping their projects – and you get to choose from a large variety of ‘Gigs’.

All of our projects are for top-tier US companies and are delivered with the highest quality. Projects range from developing NFT marketplaces to VR imaging for medical use to large AI/ML projects. We even produce a case study for every project delivered – so you can take that with you as part of your portfolio.
