About
We build and operate our own products. That keeps our work practical.

CIA Development started as a home for software we wanted to use ourselves. Running those products keeps us close to the whole job: deciding what to build, shipping it, supporting it, and improving it over time.

Today we operate eight products and have delivered more than 50 projects. We prefer small teams, direct communication, and code that is easy to understand six months later.

What We Do

From idea to
working product.

We can help with a new build, a focused redesign, or the parts of an existing product that need attention.

AI Products & Integration

We build AI features around a clear job: search, classification, summarization, support, or automation. If AI is not the right tool, we'll say so.

Web Applications

Customer-facing products, dashboards, and internal tools designed around the people who will use and maintain them.

Mobile Apps

Cross-platform iOS and Android apps, with shared code where it makes sense and native behavior where it matters.

Websites

Fast, accessible websites with clear content, simple editing, and no unnecessary framework overhead.

UI/UX Design

We work through real screens and workflows, test the rough edges, and refine the design as the product takes shape.

API & Integrations

Practical integrations with Stripe, Twilio, Slack, and the systems you already use, with logging and failure handling built in.

How We Work

Clear expectations.
Solid work.

I

Craftsmanship

We keep the code readable, test the important paths, and finish the unglamorous details that make a product dependable.

II

Transparency

You get a direct answer about scope, cost, timing, and tradeoffs. If a smaller solution will do the job, we'll tell you.

III

Ownership

We stay involved after launch, monitor what we ship, and take responsibility when something needs fixing.

New Projects

Have a project in mind?

If you have a product to build or an existing one that needs work, tell us where things stand. We'll give you an honest read on scope, timing, and fit.
