Product before ceremony
Start with the user problem, design the smallest useful solution, and let architecture support the product instead of becoming the product.
Independent Software Engineering
Build useful things. Build them well.
CrankySoftware creates modern software across mobile, web, APIs, cloud, and AI-enabled experiences — with an emphasis on practical architecture, maintainable code, security, and a product-first mindset.
Engineering Approach
Software should solve the problem without creating five new ones.
The goal is durable software with clear boundaries, useful abstractions, measurable behavior, and enough flexibility to continue evolving after launch.
Cloud-native, API-first
Build clear service boundaries, resilient APIs, automated delivery, observability, and infrastructure that can scale with real demand.
Secure by design
Treat identity, authorization, data handling, validation, privacy, and failure modes as core engineering concerns, not launch-day additions.
Technology
Modern tools, chosen for the job.
CrankySoftware primarily works in the Microsoft and .NET ecosystem while integrating cloud, data, AI, and open-source technologies where they make sense.
Mobile & cross-platform.NET MAUI applications targeting Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS from a shared product architecture.
Backend & APIsASP.NET Core services, REST APIs, real-time communication, background processing, and clean domain boundaries.
Cloud & deliveryAzure-hosted services, containers, CI/CD, environment-based configuration, telemetry, and automated deployment workflows.
Data & AIRelational data, search, retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, document processing, and AI-assisted product features.
