We are Silicon Valley software industry veterans who have designed, architected, implemented and led development for world class products used by millions of people at Apple, Microsoft, Xbox, WebTV, Netscape, etc… Our team of strategic, collaborative, full software lifecycle specialists are constantly honing our craft and educating ourselves on the latest best practices and tools.
We will partner with you to understand your business opportunities, assess current challenges, and create engaging experiences around your unique value proposition. We specialize in mobile and web applications, iOT, SDKs, API design and multi-platform solutions.
With a larger firm, once the contract is signed, your project more often than not is staffed with junior associates and/or offshore developers.
With Duff Lite, our partners personally engage on every project from start to finish. We use best practices for creating world class experiences in every step of the engagement from planning to recommendations to execution.
We can either work in a staff augmentation role if your development organization is missing one or more key senior team members or scale your delivery capability by taking on a complete project from definition to rapid prototyping to iterating through product market fit to launch.
As former senior leaders at Microsoft and Apple, we have significant experience delivering projects with dependencies across multiple remote geographies and time zones, as well as negotiating and coordinating with our customers’ internal resources, external partners and customers.
We often get repeat business from long term customers who appreciate knowing that they will be collaborating with the same Duff Lite partners who are already proficient with their business requirements, existing technologies and processes.

Our services range from developing entire applications from the ground up to augmenting existing engineering teams to help bring mobile applications to market quicker. We have prototyped early-concept applications used to help secure funding for startup businesses, and have brought full-scale applications from conception to completion. We can start with an early concept and evolve it into a complete user interface and graphics specification needed to start coding. We can also implement back-end solutions to networked applications, or connect mobile apps to existing services where appropriate.
Good design makes the world approachable. We approach design with a user-centric philosophy, making interfacing with technology not just simple and intuitive, but memorable and enjoyable as well.
