Software development for Tampa companies
Loan servicing, claims and reconciliation in your back office take days, cross six systems and wait on a person twice, and when a case stops halfway nobody can say where. We build the platform so each case picks up where it stopped, with a record an examiner can read, and the engineers you meet are the ones who build it. Tampa Bay carries more of this work than its skyline suggests, from Westshore's servicing floors to the contractors near MacDill.

Serving
Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon
Financial services back offices larger than the city's profile suggests, healthcare systems, and a defence contracting base around MacDill. If you run one of those, the work you want automated is the multi-day, multi-system kind, and it has to finish.
AzureTechFabric 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.
App development in Tampa
Back-office and field apps for financial services and healthcare operators, where a process spans days and several systems. We build the app so a half-finished step resumes rather than restarts.
Mobile app developmentDynamics 365 consultants in Tampa
Defence subcontractors, the healthcare groups around Tampa General and the financial back offices across the bay in St. Petersburg use Dynamics 365 Business Central and CRM to run finance and contracts. We implement both, integrate them with the systems already in place, and build Power Automate workflows that leave the audit trail the work requires.
A back-office process has to finish, and prove it did
Tampa Bay carries more financial back office than its skyline suggests. Raymond James is headquartered in St. Petersburg, JPMorgan Chase runs large operations around Tampa, and the health systems and contractors serving MacDill sit beside them. Their work is servicing, claims and reconciliation, where one case crosses several systems over several days and every step can be the subject of an examiner's question.
Most automation there starts with a bot clicking through old screens, which is quick and records nothing an auditor can follow. We'd model the process as a durable workflow instead, so each step is written down as it happens, a two-day wait for a signature is a state rather than a lost thread, and a restart resumes the case where it stopped. The audit trail comes for free.
One process goes first, chosen because it costs the most when it half-completes. We trace it through every system and hand-off, write the workflow definition with the people who run it, and agree what evidence an examiner would ask for. Automation starts once those three exist.
Clients we have done this for
Lending and servicing back offices spend their days on multi-step approvals, and Auto Approve's vehicle refinancing ran on that kind of work. The study shows an automated approval engine that doubled monthly loans processed and replaced more than four manual workflows without adding a single agent.
Automotive / Fintech
Auto Approve
Auto Approve's loan agents were copying every refinance request by hand between the CRM, lender sites and Excel, a process that took two to three days. Our senior engineers worked hand in glove with Auto Approve's own IT staff to build the approval engine that automates it, and the company doubled the loans it processes each month without hiring more agents.
How an engagement runs
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.
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.
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.
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.
Around Tampa
Developers from Westshore to Tampa Heights
Tampa Devs, a nonprofit, keeps the Tampa.dev calendar of local tech events and runs meetups and socials at Embarc Collective and Armature Works. The Tampa Java User Group meets every month or two, often at Kforce's headquarters in Westshore, and this year's talks took in Spring AI and testing AI-generated code. The Tampa Bay AWS User Group, about 3,300 members, works through application modernisation and cloud cost.
Modernisation and testing generated code are the right worries for a back-office system. A policy change, a loan file or a contract modification can run for days across several systems, and whatever replaces the old code has to survive a restart halfway through without anyone re-keying a form. That's a property you design in at the start, because nobody manages to add it after the first outage.

FAQ
Software development in Tampa: common questions
Do you work with Tampa 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 Tampa?
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.
Our back office is mostly manual. Where do you start?
With the process that costs the most when it half-completes. A durable workflow that records every step turns a multi-day, multi-system process into something that survives a restart and produces its own audit trail. Auto Approve is the published version of exactly that.
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.
