About
When someone walks into a beautiful new home, you never here them gasp in amazement "Wow! What a great foundation your house has!". Similarly, people often overlook great construction in software, but they notice real quick when it's not built well!
Foundational Software focuses on developing sturdy software in an agile manner that will stand the test of time. We know you'll never look inside and analyze the fibers of the software to make sure things are in order and properly aligned. However, we know that you'll appreciate the peace of mind that comes with having well built software that won't cause you to age quicker, get gray hair, or even lose your hair.
We believe a main purpose of life is to have joy. We write software to help, not detract, from that purpose.
