Custom software for New Orleans — built the AI-native way.
We pair senior engineers with an AI-accelerated delivery model to ship custom software for New Orleans's energy, hospitality, and healthcare operators — without the fragile output that gives AI a bad name.
AI changed the economics of custom software. We rebuilt our process around it.
New Orleans anchors a strong energy, hospitality, and healthcare market — home to Entergy, the Gulf Coast oil-and-gas ecosystem, Ochsner Health, a deep tourism and conventions economy, and growing B2B SaaS demand. Senior hires are six figures, months out, and picked over by regional employers, healthcare networks, and the venture-backed challengers around them. AI changes the math, but only when senior people own the parts AI gets wrong.
On a New Orleans energy, hospitality, or healthcare build, AI handles the repetitive 70% — schemas, scaffolding, CRUD, dashboards, glue. The 30% AI gets wrong is the part Gulf Coast operators, peak-day property teams, or your HIPAA reviewer will catch: late-arriving offshore sensor data, race conditions on a high-volume booking write, PHI access without audit logging, and integration with bespoke energy or PMS systems AI invents instead of reads. Raw AI output ships those silently.
We build for New Orleans operators — Gulf Coast field-ops apps for upstream and midstream teams, hospitality and tourism platforms scaling under peak-event load (Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, conventions), provider-side healthcare tools across the Gulf South, B2B SaaS shipping into regional buyers, and modernization of decades-old enterprise stacks. Our model: AI handles scaffolding and the repetitive 70%; a senior engineer owns architecture, security review, and signs off on every change.
AI writes the first draft. A senior engineer signs off.
Every change runs through review for security, tests, and architecture before it ships — that review is the product.
const draft = await ai.generate(spec) // minutes, not daysreview(draft, { security: true, tests: true, architecture: true })// ✗ rejected: late-arriving offshore sensor event overwrites newer state → event-sourced with version + replay test// ✓ merged: idempotent peak-day booking handler, audit-logged PHI access with reason captureOn a New Orleans energy, hospitality, or healthcare build, the failure modes are late offshore data, peak-load race conditions, and missing PHI audit trails. Senior review catches them before a control-room alarm, a Mardi Gras outage, or a HIPAA review does.
What we build for New Orleans companies.
Energy & operations software
Field-ops apps, sensor pipelines, and asset-management platforms for upstream, midstream, and renewables.
Hospitality & gaming software
Booking, loyalty, and operations platforms for hotels, restaurants, venues, and operators.
Healthcare & HIPAA-ready apps
Patient-facing portals, clinician tools, and care-coordination platforms built to HIPAA from day one.
Supply-chain & ops platforms
Routing, dispatch, inventory, and visibility tools that replace clipboards and spreadsheets.
SaaS platforms
Multi-tenant products with auth, billing, and dashboards — MVP to scale.
AI applications
Copilots, RAG, search, and agents grounded in your data, with guardrails and evals.
A senior team that moves at AI speed.
You work with senior engineers in Central Time who understand industrial data realities, regulated environments, and peak-load operations — fitting into a CBD energy-IT cadence, a French Quarter hospitality-tech standup, or a Metairie healthcare PR review — not a junior pool with raw AI output bolted on.
New Orleans's senior engineering pool is split between Gulf Coast energy, healthcare networks, hospitality operators, and a smaller venture-backed bench — three-to-six months to hire and quietly poached by remote coastal roles. An AI-native team gets you shipping this week, flexes monthly, and doesn't need a CBD office.
Talk to an engineerTraditional New Orleans dev shop vs. AI-native.
| Traditional Agency | DEV.co (AI-native) | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to working software | Months | Days to weeks |
| Cost | Full senior rates, all hours | Lower — AI removes the rote work |
| Code quality | Good (if senior) | Same bar — every change reviewed |
| AI risk | — | Contained by senior review + tests |
| You own the code | Usually | Always — full repo on day one |
| Scales with you | Slow to staff up | Flex up or down monthly |
