Why Ferrous?
We're your support crew
Have an idea that you'd like to research but want to continue working on your main tasks? Send us a question! Have a gnarly problem to debug, but would really like to continue working? We'll do that for you.
Spend your time on the problems that matter to your business.
Get out of the door quickly
New product development often includes a lot of early decisions. How do I lay out my codebase, which library to pick to get started, what is a good strategy to grow a good codebase? We know all that, and we're here to help!
There's no need to bring in day-to-day consulting if you can just get specific questions answered.
Your time is valuable, so why not ask people that probably already know?
