I design products, then build them on the real code.

Yes. Every recording on this page is the actual application, driven by a script and captured from the browser — not a mockup or a design comp. For internal business tools we run them on demo data, so no real customer, order or pricing information is shown. Want to see one live? We'll walk you through it on a call.

Yes. Most engagements happen remotely — software ships from anywhere. We're based in Toronto and the highest-trust conversations still tend to start with a coffee in someone's office, but we have clients in the US and outside the GTA too. The location matters less than the fit of the problem.

No. Most of our clients aren't engineers — they're operators who know exactly which task is killing their week and want it gone. We do the technical work. You stay close to the parts that matter: what the build is supposed to do, what 'good' looks like, what edge cases need to behave right.

TypeScript, Next.js, and React on the front; Node, Python, and serverless infra on the back. AI work runs on the major hosted models (OpenAI, Anthropic) and on smaller open-weight models when the cost or privacy math says so. We don't push a stack on you if you already have one — we'll work with what you've got unless there's a specific reason not to.

We hand off the build with documentation, a runbook for the common tasks, and a training session for whoever owns it on your side. Most builds run on their own once shipped. If you want monthly check-ins or a light retainer for new use-cases, that's a separate, optional conversation. No automatic ongoing fees.

Most engagements start that way. The work we do best starts one step earlier than the feature request — figuring out what you're actually trying to make happen. Bring it in rough. Twenty minutes in the chat with Echo is usually enough to tell us both whether there's a real build hiding inside the half‑formed idea.
