› ABOUT
Started in Lisbon by engineers who wanted to ship products, not slides. Seventeen years later, same DNA — embedded, full-stack, accountable.
Five engineers in Lisbon got tired of consulting decks. The first client was a US travel-media platform that needed a Rails app shipped, not a roadmap. That set the DNA: embedded, full-stack, accountable.
ShermansTravel migrated from WordPress/PHP to Rails with us, then stayed. CityRow, MEMO, healthcare ISVs, ad-tech platforms — engagements measured in years, not sprints. Most clients are still here.
Grew from 30 to 100+ engineers across Rails, Python, Node.js. Stayed in Lisbon — engineering all in one place, no offshore arms. Opened a New York office for sales presence on the US side of the time zone.
Our seniors use Claude Code, Cursor and agentic tooling as amplifiers. Same engineers, different ratios: fewer people producing more, with senior-level quality where it used to take a full team. We build agentic systems for clients too — but as engineers who happen to use AI, not as AI vendors.
