Custom Software for Researchers & Educators
Founded in 2007 by Nate Bernstein and Tom Emmons, our company was built on the principle of improving communication between clients and contractors in software development. With extensive prior experience as both clients and contractors, we identified a critical gap in the industry: the lack of active listening and transparency in project execution. By combining technical expertise with a commitment to collaborative partnerships, we deliver premium, user-friendly applications tailored to research and educational needs. Our process prioritizes client input at every stage, ensuring solutions align precisely with project goals while maintaining commercial-quality standards.We specialize in transforming complex research data into intuitive tools and creating educational platforms that accommodate diverse learning styles. Our team of strategists, designers, and developers values transparency, trust, and iterative improvement, often advising clients to build minimal viable products before scaling. Headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, we serve researchers and educators nationwide through custom web and mobile applications, data visualization tools, and grant-funded software solutions.
