Our Tech Stack

When it comes to technology - we're open, bold and choosy.

Technology moves fast, but we move faster. Even with older languages and frameworks we find we’re only really limited by our imaginations. We don't straggle in adopting a new technology, but we're not magpies either - we don’t try everything that's new, just for the sake of it.

Our Teams

We use what works best, we're informal and constantly evolving.

We encourage lean/agile principles, but teams choose their own processes and technologies – they are closest to the problems they're solving and can make best decisions. We trust you enough to seek guidance and to make the right choices at the right time. If it doesn't work out, it's just a lesson learnt for next time.
