What we do here
Pasadena's research-driven startups come to us when they need product engineering to match their science: turning models and prototypes into production software with proper architecture, testing, and cloud infrastructure. Our AI development practice — LLM assistants, agents, and data pipelines — fits naturally with teams commercializing technical work.
For the city's established businesses — healthcare groups, financial and legal practices, retail operators — we modernize aging systems and build the internal tools spreadsheets can't handle anymore. Where most tech companies in Pasadena quote agency rates, our two-hub model delivers the same senior quality with embedded engineers from $15/hour.
