Built for Pennsylvania

What Pittsburgh projects need us to get right.

The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.

01

Privacy by sector, with breach readiness

Pennsylvania had no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute at our last review, so Pittsburgh products are shaped by federal sector rules (HIPAA, GLBA, COPPA, CAN-SPAM, the FTC Act) and the state's breach-notification law. We keep collection minimal and logging clear so incidents can be reported.

02

Accessibility for hospitals, campuses and the public

ADA Title III litigation risk applies to Pittsburgh's public-facing sites, and the 2024 Title II rule holds state and local government content to WCAG 2.1 AA, with April 2026 and April 2027 deadlines. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA throughout, which also suits Section 508 requirements on federal work.

03

Plain English, with room to grow

Pittsburgh clients work in English, so we focus on plain-language content, readable technical documentation and interfaces that make sense to researchers, clinicians and plant staff alike. Should you need French later, our bilingual EN/FR capability and language-ready content model are ready.

Sectors

Who we work with in Pittsburgh.

Robotics and AI

Start-ups and labs around Carnegie Mellon need custom ML pipelines, data-labelling tools, operator dashboards and product sites that explain hard technology plainly. We build the software around the model, from data collection to deployment and monitoring.

Health care

Health systems such as UPMC and the clinics around them ask for patient portals, scheduling apps and secure intake with HIPAA in mind. We design privacy and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility in from the start and integrate carefully with existing records systems.

Advanced manufacturing

Manufacturers want traceability dashboards, computer-vision inspection and predictive maintenance built on the sensor data they already collect. We build the web tools and the models together, so results show up where plant staff can act on them.

Energy

Energy companies need asset and field-data apps for crews, monitoring dashboards and predictive analytics for maintenance and demand. We build Android and iOS apps that work offline and sync later, backed by web systems that turn readings into decisions.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Pittsburgh.

  1. Discover

    We kick off by video in Pittsburgh afternoon hours, mapping users, data sources, integrations and sector rules, and close the phase with a scope and timeline you can hold us to.

  2. Design

    Prototypes reviewed live on screen, with accessibility, model boundaries and content ownership decided up front so the build phase has no open questions.

  3. Build

    A working demo every week on staging you can reach at any hour. Feedback shapes the following week, and we travel to Pittsburgh for hands-on sessions when a screen is not enough.

  4. Launch

    Release to US East hosting in your name, with monitoring, documentation and a handover that leaves your team owning every line of code, every design and every account.

  5. Grow

    After go-live we can keep shipping features, retrain models as data accumulates, or run performance marketing and analytics, still in Eastern hours and still one team.

FAQ

Pittsburgh — questions we hear first.

No. We work from Vancouver, British Columbia, and serve Pittsburgh remotely: video meetings in your afternoon, a demo every week and a staging site that is always open to you. For discovery workshops, integration days or launches where presence matters, we come to Pittsburgh in person.

Yes. Pittsburgh is three hours ahead of Vancouver on Eastern Time, so from noon your time until the end of your day we are fully available for standups, reviews and support. Anything you send in the morning is picked up as soon as our day starts and usually answered before your lunch is over.

We do. Pennsylvania had no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute at our last review, so the applicable rules are federal and sector-specific (HIPAA, GLBA, COPPA, CAN-SPAM, the FTC Act) alongside the state's breach-notification law. We confirm which apply at discovery and build logging and data handling so notification would be fast if ever needed.

Yes. Pittsburgh clients are hosted in US East regions on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, with GPU capacity for AI workloads provisioned in the same regions. Backups, logs and analytics stay in the United States, and every account is created under your organisation so you keep control of residency.

AI development for robotics and research groups, patient and staff tools for health care, computer-vision and predictive analytics for manufacturers and energy firms, and the web apps that surface all of it. Performance marketing is common for firms competing in more consumer-facing markets. Every engagement is quoted on its own scope.
