Empower really great people to do really great work.
Pretty simple really. We build our reputation by making clients happy. To do that, we stack our team with the best people and give them the tools for success.
History
We (JC Grubbs & Brad Wilkening) founded DevMynd in 2010 because we decided we wanted to build a software consultancy that challenged the norms of larger firms. We believed then, and still believe now, that great craftspeople, e.g. people who take pride in their work, are extremely rare. Yet if we could build a team of such individuals, together we could do and build amazing, high quality products for our clients. Further, we believe in the power of small agile teams that can operate independently without project managers or account executives – teams of professionals who are empowered to do the right thing for their clients. This is what we believe to be the source of our success and is the principle upon which we will continue to operate and grow.
Principles
Do the right thing, even if it is the hard thing.
Throughout the course of a project, unexpected things will come up; it’s just the nature of building software. The key is to always do the right thing for the client and project, no exceptions.
People are always more important than technology or process.
Cultivating great teams and building up skilled and passionate individuals is our recipe for success. Focus on people and the rest will fall into place.
If you’re not doing what you love, do something else.
Life is too short to be toiling away at something you don't enjoy just so you can bring home a paycheck. We love what we do and we love working with people that share our vision, passion, and integrity.
