Leadership
Our CEO Brad Nickel has always been on the cutting edge of web and app development while combining his technology expertise with marketing and strategic leadership. For the last 8 years, Brad has been leading, guiding, and advising startups on the development of their apps, the markets they target, fundraising appeals, and just about every aspect of startup businesses. His teams have built dozens of apps for clients and have successfully launched an monetized many more.
Brad takes on a personal role of guiding and planning for every client project we bring on board, so our clients can rest assured that their project is being treated with the utmost urgency and highest levels of professionalism.
App Strategies
Guiding an app where it needs to be is one of our strong suits. While the overall broad strategy may be in place we find taking that strategy to a more granular level helps to make sure the app is right for the market.
Forward Thinking
Everyone on our team is an innovator. Our goal is to always make the apps we build better than expected and so, we are always looking forward to what could be for an app later in its life. When you build the foundation for the future, you have a better chance for success.
Nuts and Bolts
Knowing how to bring all the components of apps and their features together can be a daunting task, but we start from the beginning planning how it will work together and serve the user and let that guide us through every step of development.
User Driven
Every step of our development process has an extreme focus upon the user and their needs (whether they know them or not). Without this approach, your app will be jut a bunch of pieces of functionality that do not unify to create an amazing user experience.
Our Story
Developing software is what we call what we do, but at our core, we are creatives. We love creating software and tools that makes people’s lives better, entertains them, or helps them run their business. The satisfaction gained from creating something people love is second to none.

Brad Nickel
Founder / Chief User Advocate
Brad has been a software junkie since he was 14 years old and he received his first computer, a PET with cassette deck drives and the ability to make something appear on a screen. Once he understood how it worked, Brad began to take it apart. He went from there and climbed the scale of computers at a rapid pace. To this day, he is the tech support rep for all his friends and family.
He loves nothing more than building software and has architected some amazing inventions over his 2.5 decades of experience.
Brad lives in Miami, FL with his children Amanda and Zachary and his amazing wife Karin.
