      Mobile App Development Review from Andrew Duggan

      Kanda proved to be an exceptional choice for our development needs. They were much more [of] a partner to our startup than a vendor. The entire team treated our project like it was their own company, and the results showed that. Our customers were extremely please[d] with the desktop and mobile applications. I would definitely recommend hiring Kanda for any and all of your development needs. (Verified via email)

      Elliot Jacobs's Review Sourced from Google

      We run a SaaS platform for PR reporting. It’s our first time working with an external development team after years of in-house. We made the shift to get more flexibility and to have dedicated capacity for building out a suite of new features on top of our product.The work is R&D by nature, so specs change, and priorities shift. Clockwise Software has always been flexible about that and scaled up when we needed more people involved. What else stood out is the team's experience. Our codebase spans multiple services with a fair amount of legacy code. They have people who've clearly worked across different codebases before, and it showed in how quickly they got productive.Our engagement is ongoing. We launched the new features, ran a beta, and opened it up to the full market. ARPC has increased since launch, a clear sign to us that the work landed well with customers.

      Hired them to build an AI feature on top of our internal system, basically an assistant so our team could ask questions and get info from our data instead of digging through it manually. Took about 8 weeks. Works exactly how we needed it to. Their team was upfront about the limitations early, which I actually respected.

      Software Development Review from Lori Feld Oakley

      Our Services organization is scaling quickly and we urgently needed a custom software application to automate our workflows, without breaking our annual budget. CodeStringers was the perfect fit, supporting us from ideation through go-live and everything in between. They innovated, hit their deadlines and released an amazingly high quality application that decreases our internal costs and improves our reputation with our customers. It would not have happened without CodeStringers.

      Enterprise Review from Christian Schraga

      CodeStringers is the perfect outsourcer to call If you have a solid software business idea but don’t know exactly how to bring it to life. They have both a top-notch development team as well as an executive staff with expertise in marketing, finance, and general business acumen. So they can not only build a product for you but they can make sure that the product you want to build is likely to succeed in the marketplace.

      Software Development Review from Michael Levy

      Flowty is a blockchain-based platform providing various transaction services around NFTs. K-Optional wears many hats in support of Flowty including Front End, Back End, business strategy, SEO and more.The K-Optional team has been incredible to work with. They are proactive, supportive, smart, thoughtful and, most importantly, fit seamlessly into our team and company culture. To put it succinctly, we tried to hire them full-time...and then tried to buy their company to acqui-hire them.Some of their strengths include: reliability, responsiveness and creativity. There are many groups out there that can perform some version of the work we are looking for. There are not many groups that are responsive at all hours of the day, deliver consistently and able to present data-backed business strategies.

      We collaborated with K-Optional to develop a custom inventory management dashboard tailored for real estate clients. We provided the creative vision and detailed designs, while their team focused on the software development, ensuring that every element was implemented perfectly. We worked hand-in-hand flawlessly, resulting in a sleek, user-friendly interface that not only looks great but functions seamlessly. The synergy between design and development allowed us to deliver a product that exceeded client expectations, combining aesthetics with powerful functionality.

      Fact Man's Review Sourced from Google

      I want to share a detailed account of my interview experience at NKU Technologies for other candidates, particularly experienced professionals considering applying here.I have 12 years of experience across various companies, including project-based and consulting roles — a fairly normal profile in today's job market. I cleared the technical round successfully, demonstrating that my skills and experience were not in question. Despite this, the next round with the CEO was not a professional or behavioral assessment — instead, it turned into an extended interrogation about why I left each individual company on my resume, one by one. This is not standard interview practice; a reasonable hiring conversation touches on career transitions briefly, not as a repeated line of questioning across every job change.More concerning: at one point, the conversation moved into asking about my personal political views. This has no place in a professional interview and is not a lawful or standard hiring practice anywhere I'm aware of.Having already cleared the technical bar, I expected the final round to assess culture fit and professional judgment — not to feel like being put on trial for my career choices and personal beliefs. If you're an experienced candidate with a varied career background, go in aware that this may be the kind of scrutiny you face here, and consider whether that aligns with how you want to be evaluated.
