technology skills
Alright, if you made it this far you’ve come for the alphabet soup. You want acronyms, we’ll give you acronyms. Some of our skills are highly specialized, so have a close look at our list in case you see something that’s incredibly hard to find elsewhere.
One note – we have a corporate policy of not including technologies, acronyms or buzzwords unless someone in our shop has actually used them on a client project. We realize that’s a little unusual these days, but we’re old fashioned – we feel that you should understand what we’re good at by reviewing our site, not just what we think will get us engagements.
