Modderday
About

A small practice, by design.

Modderday is a senior engineering practice in Los Angeles. We are deliberately small — usually two to four people — and we take on a limited number of engagements at a time so that the people doing the work are the people who scoped it.

§ 01
What we are
Practice

We build, fix, and look after software for organizations past the prototype stage — the platforms, internal tools, and infrastructure a business depends on day to day. We work across software development, systems and IT, technical review, and automation, but the through-line is the same: durable systems that the people who own them can understand.

We are not an agency that staffs a bench and bills it out. When a project needs a capability we do not have, we say so, and we help you find it. The work we keep is the work we can do well.

§ 02
What we believe
Principles

We would rather build less software, more carefully, than more software, less so.

  1. i.

    Write it down first

    A short, plain-English scope before any work begins. The scope is the agreement.

  2. ii.

    Leave it readable

    Documentation and a clean handoff, so a competent successor can pick up the work without us.

  3. iii.

    No lock-in

    You own what we build once it is paid for. We are a team you choose to keep, not one you are stuck with.

§ 03
Working together
Engagements

Engagements run from short, focused reviews to multi-month builds. We work alongside the people on your side who will own the result, so the knowledge stays with your business.
