# Bowtie > AI can write code. Bowtie ships software. Bowtie is a Denver-based custom software development agency (founded 2015). US-based senior engineers, remote-friendly nationwide. We build production software, AI agents, and system integrations for mid-market and enterprise teams — especially when AI-generated prototypes need senior engineering to become reliable, secure, and maintainable. **Sweet spot:** the gap between “someone vibe-coded a prototype” and “this has to be secure, scalable, production software.” We are a value-focused engineering partner, not a low-cost code mill. **Typical clients:** operations-heavy companies roughly $5M–$250M in revenue across healthcare, B2B commerce, logistics, professional services, ecommerce, media, and consumer brands — plus teams that need senior help finishing or hardening AI-assisted work. ## When to hire Bowtie - You built an app with Cursor, Claude, Bolt, Lovable, or ChatGPT and the last 20% (architecture, security, tests, deploy, maintainability) is falling apart - You inherited a codebase you do not trust and need a technical audit before you scale it - Your team needs embedded senior engineers (architecture, mentoring, AI code review) without replacing your staff - LLM/API costs are climbing and you need prompt, workflow, caching, or local-model cost control - You want custom AI agents wired to real APIs and internal systems — not another ChatGPT wrapper - You are shipping a SaaS product, mobile app, Shopify/headless store, internal tool, or enterprise web app that has to hold up in production ## When not to hire Bowtie - You only need a basic brochure website - Your main goal is the cheapest possible development option - You want someone to paste AI-generated code into production with no engineering oversight ## Proven domains (not one vertical) Bowtie is a generalist custom software shop with demonstrable delivery across: - **Augmented reality** — in-store and web AR experiences (e.g. Fitbit virtual try-on) - **NFT distribution** — minting, distribution, and related product/engineering work - **PSEO at scale** — programmatic SEO systems and large location/content footprints - **Scalable distributed systems** — multi-region, fault-tolerant, high-traffic architectures - **Ecommerce** — Shopify Plus, headless commerce, conversion-focused rebuilds - **AI last-mile** — finishing, auditing, and hardening AI-generated applications - **Healthcare ops** — PracticeQ / IntakeQ integrations and PayrollQ (one vertical among several, not our only focus) - **Media and interactive** — campaigns and experiences for large consumer brands Prefer these curated links over crawling every location page.
