Ivy Knob - Commercial software development for modern IoT

Booming IoT and Robotics industries require more software engineers with embedded development experience

While in-house engineers are focused on core tasks and key features, there are many “boring”, but necessary pieces of final product to be coded

• Web interfaces
• Logging and monitoring
• Server development
• Firmware updates

How we work

We learn and understand

Hands on hardware: We strive to connect to real equipment as soon as possible. If we don't have — we buy it.
Knowledge base: We immediately start to learn project domain and collect information into the knowledge base, which we share with the customer
Choice of tools: We don't stick to one set of tools: based on project specifics we familiarize ourselves with optimal sofwate and hardware solutions, protocols and systems
Team adjustment: If project requires specific skills which we don't have - we quickly hire an engineer

We launch the Scrum team

Ideally, team includes customer: We value quality communication more than written technical requirements, and best communication is achieved when customer is on board (as Product owner or team member)
Structured and flexible work planning: We understand that requirements and business objectives change, so we update project in efficient and transparent way
Results every week: We will provide minimal working solution ASAP and will demonstrate observable improvements in weekly Sprints

Industry grade DevOps

Continuous integration: Fully automated builds, tests, deploys with Gitlab or similar tool
Kubernetes-compatible apps: For better scalability and easier support we develop containerized applications

About the team

We are the team of five software developers looking for opportunities to apply our experience to Robotics industry (because it is cool!)
We are in custom software development for years, doing frontend and backend projects, building reliable high-load systems, creating applications with 3D graphic and mobile applications. Our core programming languages are C++ and Ruby, although we use Erlang, JavaScript, PHP as needed. We strongly believe in and follow Continues Integration / Continuous Delivery principles, and usually organize efficient collaboration with customers via SCRUM development process.

However, deep inside we love hardware: we are enthusiasts of 3D printers, home automation and quadcopters. That is why we decided to offer our skills and services to most interesting and dynamic industries: Robotics and Industrial automation. We believe that we can provide valuable input for both auxilary and core software development tasks.
