“Sometimes I wish we never attempted to create our own software”

This is a lament that I often hear from clients - and it’s no wonder.

Software engineering has a lot of moving parts, conflicting advice, and rapid changes that require equally quick adaptations. And these problems only get more complex and convoluted the longer your software is in the market.

As an entrepreneur you know that giving up is not an option. Instead, you need to find the right help.

👋 Hi, I’m Thanos Diacakis, 

I’ve been in the software industry for 25+ years and assisted businesses of large and small.

My specialty is developing engineering teams and optimizing the software development processes to maximize ROI and manage complexity as demand grows.

How did we get here?

You may have begun developing your own software for a variety of reasons including:

  • You got tired of “out of the box” software that you had to shoehorn your company into with little ability to customize
  • You realized that with the right customized solution you could increase your customer base, optimize production, and/or open up new revenue streams.
  • You already had a really great product, and realized that if you were to add a software component to it you’d gain a huge lead on your competition

And now…you’re dealing with:

  • Managing a production team that’s putting in a lot of hours, without a lot to show for it
  • Feature releases fraught with bugs that result in angry customers
  • Outages that cost time and/or money and often create a ripple effect
  • Feeling like you’re on a path you can’t turn back from because you’re in too deep
  • Increasing complexity as workarounds are built to compensate for coding weaknesses
  • Process changes to incorporate “Agile” and “DevOps” that feel more like distractions than solutions.

👉 It’s enough to make your head spin, and to wonder why you began developing software in the first place.

Fortunately, there is a solution.  With my proven method for organizing and optimizing the production of your software, you can finally capitalize on your ideas with all the ROI you dreamed of and none of the headaches.
