Software Development Studio — Kobe, Japan

Business systems and Windows apps|AI-assisted, faster and cheaper

I am a software engineer with 20 years of experience. I went independent in 2020 and take on contract development work from Kobe, Japan. AI is built into the whole process, from design through implementation and testing, which lets me deliver in less time and with fewer hours than a conventional approach.

Approach

Working AI into the process compresses both the estimate and the schedule. The quality of what ships is still checked by a person.

  • AI supports every stage: requirements, design, implementation, test generation and review.
  • I review all generated code myself and verify it works before delivery.
  • Nothing is left to AI alone. Twenty years of practical experience backs the quality.
  • Shorter lead times and lower cost than a conventional process.
