Software development for New York companies

Your ledger rewrite has sat on the roadmap for a year because every engineer you have is patching the old one. Senior engineers join your team to build it, the same people you met at scoping, on a platform where every write is recorded and anyone can reconstruct what changed. In New York that's a lender or insurer answering to the Department of Financial Services, a media company's rights ledger or a landlord's leasing system.

Serving

New York, Brooklyn, Queens, Jersey City

New York runs on finance, from the banks and insurers answering to the state's Department of Financial Services to the fintechs that sell to them, with media, advertising and real estate close behind. Whatever you're building here, someone will eventually ask your system to explain what it did, whether that's an examiner, a client's auditor or a tenant's lawyer.

DatabricksTemporalAzure

TechFabric is a Databricks partner with an award-winning Databricks engineering team, 80 of them Databricks-certified, and a Temporal partner. Where a system reaches past the workspace we build on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

What software development covers

Web applications

Applications built to be changed safely years after the original team has moved on. That means tests that mean something, seams where the business logic can move, and a deployment nobody is afraid of.

Mobile applications

iOS and Android, built as products rather than as ports. The maintenance story is decided at the start, while it is still cheap.

APIs and integration

The seams between systems, done once and properly. Most of the expensive failures we are called into are integration failures wearing another name.

Data platforms

The layer underneath the application, on Databricks, Azure, AWS or Google Cloud. If the reporting and the application disagree, the platform is the reason.

Modernisation of what exists

Often the work arrives as something already built that has become hard to change. We would rather read it and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping than sell a rewrite you may not need.

Durable, auditable workflows

Processes that take days, call several systems and must never half-complete. Getting that right is a different discipline from getting a request handler right, and it is where we spend most of our time.

Mobile and web apps for New York companies

Your launch date is fixed, your users are waiting, and because the app moves money it also has to show an auditor who changed what.

Dynamics 365 consultants in New York

Mid-market firms in New York, the Hunts Point food distributors, the Madison Avenue agencies and the professional services businesses beside the banks, run Dynamics 365 Business Central for finance and Dynamics 365 CRM for the client book. We implement both, connect them to the reporting and the systems around them, and build the Power Automate approvals a controller can audit.

The examiner arrives eventually

By 15 April each year, a bank or insurer regulated by New York's Department of Financial Services files either a certification of compliance with Part 500, its cybersecurity rule, or an acknowledgment of where it fell short, signed by its top executive and CISO. Section 500.6 asks for records that can reconstruct material financial transactions, and a public company answers to SOX as well. Both ask a system the same question: who changed what, when, and on whose authority.

Reporting jobs are how most firms answer it, which means a March spent pulling application logs into a spreadsheet that almost reconciles. We'd route every change to money or customer data through one path instead, and write the event that explains it in the same transaction as the change, so the trail can't drift from what happened.

The first two weeks go on finding every path that writes. We map the services, batch jobs and admin screens that can change a balance or a customer record, mark which ones leave evidence today, and give your CISO that map before any code changes. There's usually a writer nobody listed, a reconciliation script or a vendor's back-office screen, and closing it comes first.

Clients we have done this for

The LOSExpress rebuild for SWBC, a lending platform for credit unions, covered the user experience, the design system and the front-end architecture. Orders processed doubled and loan officers spent half the time on each order, which is what a lender or servicer wants to see before replacing a system its staff use all day.

Automotive / Fintech

SWBCSWBC

Credit union loan officers quote and book vehicle protection in SWBC's LOSExpress alongside a member's auto loan, but quoting was slow and new staff took too long to learn it. After gathering feedback from SWBC's staff and customers, our engineers and designers rebuilt one of its modules as a single-page application on a new design system. Orders processed doubled, and each loan officer now spends half as long on an order.

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    A technical conversation

    Not a sales call. An engineer, asking what you are trying to do, what has been tried and what it will actually take. Where the work needs them, product and design people join the same conversation.

  2. 02

    Two weeks, fixed fee

    A short assessment ending in a written plan with a scope, a sequence and a number. You own the document whether or not you carry on with us.

  3. 03

    Build with your team in the repo

    Senior throughout, and no pyramid with one architect over a floor of juniors. The person in your standup is the person writing the code.

  4. 04

    Run it

    We stay on the pager. Nobody designs a fragile thing they will personally be woken by, which is most of why this arrangement produces different software.

Two weeks, fixed fee, and a written plan whether or not you build it with us.

Tell an engineer what you want to build

A senior engineer reads it and replies within one business day, usually with the questions that decide the first two weeks.

A sentence or two is plenty, such as what it should do and what stands in the way today.

Goes straight to a senior engineer. By sending this you agree we can contact you about your enquiry, and occasionally about our work. Tell us to stop at any time and we will.

Around New York

Java nights and civic code in New York

NYJavaSIG, New York's Java user group, holds evening talks about once a month, lately including sessions on building AI agents. BetaNYC, the civic technology nonprofit, runs CityCamp NYC each September, this year at Hunter College, alongside NYC School of Data and public workshops such as AI 101. useReactNYC meets on occasional evenings around Manhattan, with newcomers presenting next to regulars.

If your platform writes to a ledger in Java, JavaSIG's talks on agents are an early look at how other New York teams plan to let AI near code that has to survive a Department of Financial Services exam. BetaNYC shows the other local constraint, software the public depends on and can inspect. Loan origination and servicing taught us most of what we know about writes that can't be wrong.

FAQ

Software development in New York: common questions

Do you work with New York companies?

Yes, and with companies across the United States. Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so we are two hours behind you from November to March and three hours behind from March to November. That leaves most of your afternoon overlapping our morning, which is usually enough.

Do you have an office in New York?

The office is in Gilbert, Arizona, with teams in Amsterdam, Dnipro and Hyderabad. Delivery is remote or hybrid, and we travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build.

Can you satisfy a NYDFS Part 500 review?

We build the evidence the review asks for as a property of the platform rather than as a reporting exercise. Every domain change passes one pipeline, the event that explains it is written in the same transaction, and the trail reconstructs rather than approximates.

What we do not do is certify you: your auditor does that, and our job is to make the answer easy to produce.

What kinds of custom software do you build?

Web applications, mobile applications, APIs and the data platforms underneath them. The work we do best is the sort that has to be governed and auditable, where a wrong write is expensive and somebody has to be able to explain afterwards what changed and why.

Do you take over an existing codebase?

Often, yes. A good part of the work arrives as something already built that has become hard to change. We would rather read it and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping than sell you a rewrite you may not need.
