Immediately focused on new(er) technologies, best practices and Quality Assurance. Delivering a platform, aligned to the needs of every persona. In the process of creating a “finished” product we are open, transparant and honest about the state of the product. During the development we want to enrich the team, both personal and professional. A team of 7 developers, a tester and a product owner. A close group of people, dedicated to deliver quality software to our best abilities.
