Two partners. Decades each, in the rooms where the calls actually get made. No account managers, no hand-offs to juniors. The people you scope with are the people who write the code, sign off on the architecture, and answer the phone at 11pm if a deploy goes sideways.
Matt runs the build side of the practice. Architecture, infrastructure, the call on which systems live or die. Twenty-five-plus years writing production code and holding a dozen-plus technology certifications, most of it in the seat where "it works on my machine" is not an acceptable answer.
He's hired most often to resolve systemic issues, the kind that accumulate over years, through the actions and oversights of others. Cloud networks that slowed and destabilized after a chain of migrations. Infrastructure that nobody fully documented. Databases that nobody benchmarked. He rebuilds the spine with Terraform, automates the parts that should never have been manual, and leaves it boring enough to run without him.
He writes the code. He reviews the code. He's still the one on call when something breaks at 11pm. That's not a marketing line, it's how the practice is structured. There is no one to escalate to.
Mike started programming on a Commodore 64 in 1982. He's been shipping software, marketing, and customer outcomes ever since. Inside this practice he runs accounts and project management, and translates between "what the business actually needs" and "what the engineers will build."
He's led secure global technology work for some of the largest companies in the country, General Motors, ACDelco, Marathon Petroleum, Henry Ford Health System, Dana, NAMSA, across digital marketing, eCommerce, custom CMS, intranets, and full-stack development. He's the Senior Account Executive in the room when Fortune 500 multi-million-dollar accounts get scoped, and the project manager when they get delivered.
If you're scoping work with us, Mike is the one asking the uncomfortable questions: who actually does this today, what happens when they're out, where does the spreadsheet live. The answers shape what we build, and just as often, what we refuse to.
We don't tag-team to look impressive. We split because building software is two distinct jobs, understanding the work, and writing the system, and most projects fail because one of them gets shortchanged.
30 minutes, no pitch. Mike runs the call. You describe the problem. We tell you honestly whether we can help, and roughly what it'd take.
