Custom software for Plano — built the AI-native way.
We pair senior engineers with an AI-accelerated delivery model to design, build, and ship custom software far faster than a traditional shop — without the fragile, unreviewed code that gives AI a bad name.
AI changed the economics of custom software. We rebuilt our process around it.
Plano anchors the corporate-HQ heart of north DFW — home to Toyota Motor North America, JPMorgan's Plano campus, Liberty Mutual, Frito-Lay, and a deep enterprise SaaS and fintech bench. Senior hires are six figures, months out, and picked over by Fortune-500 employers and the venture-backed challengers around them. AI changes the math, but only when senior people own the parts AI gets wrong.
AI is genuinely good at the repetitive 70% of software work: scaffolding, boilerplate, CRUD, first-draft UI, test stubs, glue code. It is dangerously unreliable at the other 30%: architecture, security, edge cases, and knowing when its own output is wrong. Teams that ship raw AI code learn this in production.
We build for Plano operators — fintech and payments platforms scaling toward compliance, enterprise SaaS shipping into Fortune-500 buyers, insurance and claims platforms, internal corporate tools, 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: month-end batch job assumes 30 days → fixed + leap-year + DST + load test// ✓ merged: SSO group-claim handling for nested AD groups, idempotency key on enterprise webhookOn a Plano enterprise build, the failure modes are batch-job edge cases, SSO claim assumptions, and SLA tail latency on legacy integrations. Senior review catches them before procurement or month-end does.
What we build for Plano companies.
Fintech & payments platforms
Customer-facing apps, ledgers, and risk pipelines for regulated, data-heavy products.
SaaS platforms
Multi-tenant products with auth, billing, and dashboards — MVP to scale.
Insurance & claims platforms
Underwriting tools, claims automation, and broker portals for carriers and InsurTechs.
Modernization
Move legacy systems onto a modern, maintainable stack — incrementally, no big-bang.
AI applications
Copilots, RAG, search, and agents grounded in your data, with guardrails and evals.
Internal tools & copilots
Operations tooling that replaces the spreadsheet-and-tribal-knowledge workflow.
A senior team that moves at AI speed.
You work with senior engineers who own architecture and quality — not a junior pool with raw AI output bolted on. We communicate in Central Time and integrate with your tools and cadence.
Plano's senior engineering pool is concentrated around Toyota NA, JPMorgan, Liberty Mutual, and the broader Legacy West and corporate-HQ ecosystem — 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 Legacy West office.
Talk to an engineerTraditional Plano 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 |
