Our goal is to make intuitive and beautiful applications for sound and vibration engineers. Ideas for features often come from requests for certain engineering solutions. Our in-house engineers and tech team break those requests down into technical features, consisting of algorithms, back-end code etc. However, they will not go beyond creating rough mock-ups on a whiteboard to summarize the steps. This is where you come in!
