We don't do everything alone. These are the teams we trust when a project needs more hands, deeper specialisation, or just the right people in the right time zone.
Magnolia Development
Magnolia Development is a Phoenix-based consultancy that crafts beautifully designed, accessible digital products. They build websites, web applications, and platforms for non-profits, e-commerce, and service businesses ‒ with a genuine commitment to getting accessibility right, not just checking a compliance box. Their stack leans into Rails, Stimulus, Turbo, and Tailwind, and they bring a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to every project. When you need someone local who cares as much about how something works for everyone as how it looks, Magnolia is the team to call.

Headius Enterprises
Charles Nutter has spent over two decades as a co-lead of JRuby ‒ the implementation of Ruby on the JVM ‒ and Headius Enterprises is where that expertise becomes available to your team. They offer consulting, priority bug-fixing, debugging, and profiling assistance for anyone running Ruby on the Java platform. If your Rails app needs the concurrency and performance characteristics of the JVM, or you're already on JRuby and hitting a wall you can't quite see past, Charles is quite literally the person who wrote the runtime. There is no deeper expertise to be found.

Vulcan Labs
Vulcan Labs builds custom software, assembles dedicated development teams, and provides specialist IT resourcing out of Somerset West, South Africa. Their stack runs deep ‒ Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, .NET, PostgreSQL, Redis ‒ and they bring the kind of full-stack muscle that makes ambitious projects actually feasible. We've worked with them for years, and what keeps us coming back (besides the excellent time zone coverage) is that they genuinely care about the craft.
