Deliver
A scoped project with a fixed outcome. Discovery, build, and handoff against an agreed timeline. Twelve months of post-ship support included. Fixed price or time-and-materials, your call.
Diverse services, one senior team
Software engineering across the whole stack.
Custom applications, AI features, databases, legacy modernization, and systems integration. No matter what, we've got you covered. Same senior team, start to finish.
Custom software
Web, mobile, and desktop apps, built by someone who's still around next year.
Web apps. Mobile apps. Internal tools. Line-of-business platforms. Whatever shape the software needs to take, we design it, build it, ship it, and stay with it. Modern stack, clean code, honest scope.
- Multi-user web applications with SSO (Azure AD, Auth0, or custom identity)
- Mobile apps built on modern cross-platform frameworks
- Desktop applications when the job actually calls for one
- Real-time dashboards, reporting, and operational tooling
- Clean Architecture and vertical-slice patterns where they pay off
- Azure DevOps pipelines, Github Actions, shared NuGet libraries, proper CI/CD

AI integration
Practical AI, wired into the software you actually use.
Document search, Chat features. Document extraction. Agent workflows. On-prem models when the data shouldn't leave your network. We build the AI feature, wire it into your systems, and hand it off in a state your team can own.
- Conversational interfaces inside line-of-business applications
- Document intelligence for forms, credentials, and batch records
- Multi-step agents using tool calling and MCP
- Local model deployments on customer-owned hardware
- Natural-language access to databases, historians, and internal data
- Honest scope, measured output, no AI theater

Databases and data
Databases that make sense to the people who have to live with them.
Schema design. Performance tuning. Legacy database archaeology. Reporting and analytics infrastructure. The part of the stack most teams treat as an afterthought is the part we think about first.
- New schema design with real constraints, indexes, and naming discipline
- SQL Server and PostgreSQL, with enough Snowflake and Azure SQL to bridge
- Undocumented legacy schemas mapped and made safe to change
- ETL, sync, and real-time replication between production systems
- Reporting layers built on views, materialized views, or dedicated warehouses
- EF Core for greenfield, Dapper for legacy and performance-critical work

Legacy modernization
Retire the old app. Keep what works.
Every company has software that's older than the people running it. ClickOnce apps, Excel reports, VB6 tools, Access databases, ColdFusion sites. Undocumented, unmaintained, and powering workflows nobody can afford to lose. We rebuild them as modern applications without breaking what works.
- ClickOnce, WinForms, and WPF applications rebuilt as modern web or mobile
- VB6, FoxPro, and Access migrations to modern stacks
- ColdFusion, classic ASP, PHP, and other legacy platforms
- Undocumented schema discovery and safe migration
- Real-time database sync utilities for zero-downtime cutovers
- Incremental modernization that keeps the business running

Systems & OT integration
Connecting the systems that were never supposed to talk.
Plant floor to enterprise. ERP to line-of-business. SaaS to SaaS. Legacy systems to modern APIs. We build the connectors, translators, and edge infrastructure that move your data to where it needs to be, including the devices that live at the edge.
- PLC, HMI, and historian integration (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, AVEVA/Wonderware)
- OPC, MQTT, and proprietary protocol work, including reverse-engineered serial
- API integration and webhook orchestration between SaaS platforms
- Edge devices: industrial Raspberry Pi, IoT gateways, and custom hardware with real-time data needs
- Kiosk fleets and device management at scale
- Custom Windows services and agents for real-time data collection

— How we work
A compact method for turning ideas into shipped software.
01
Discover
Meet with your team, understand the problem, and define the goals. Before we write anything new, we scope the system and agree on what 'done' looks like.
02
Build
Small increments, real deployments, tight feedback loops with the people who'll actually use it. Every release lands in a real environment with automated tests behind it.
03
Hand off
Runbooks, documentation, architecture diagrams, schema docs, and a live walkthrough. Support agreements available to fit your needs.
— Engagement models
Two ways to bring Side on board.
Whether you need a fixed deliverable or an ongoing seat at the table, we match how your business actually works.
Retainer
Ongoing engineering on call for new features, bug fixes, architecture input, or a regular advisor seat. No minimums, no change-order games, no disappearing act. The kind of relationship most clients end up wanting anyway.
— FAQ
Questions we hear often.
If yours isn't here, email works. We reply within two business days, usually with more questions.
How fast can you start?
Most engagements begin within three weeks of the first call. Scoped delivery projects sometimes wait a quarter, depending on the schedule.
Do you work alongside our existing team?
Yes. Your tools, your cadence, your repo, your issue tracker. Where the project spans both sides, we show up in your Teams, your standups, and your pull requests as needed, as long as our engineer's doing the work.
What stacks do you work in?
The spine is .NET 10, C#, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, and Node, on Azure or on-prem. Mobile work in modern cross-platform frameworks. AI integrations against OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, and local models via Ollama or MLX. For the plant floor, Wonderware/AVEVA, Allen-Bradley, Siemens, OPC, and custom protocols. If your stack isn't listed, ask.
Do you sign NDAs and assign IP?
Yes, both. NDA before the first technical conversation, and all custom code is assigned to you on delivery.
What happens after the engagement?
Twelve months of support is included with every Deliver engagement. Most clients keep a retainer going beyond that. The charter aviation client we started with in 2021 is still on the books, and still gets same-day email replies.
Which service sounds like yours?
Send a paragraph about what you're building. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right team.
