Who builds your custom software?
One principal engineer, start to finish: the same person scopes the project, architects it, writes the code, deploys it, and hands it off.
Agencies often put a layer between you and the developers: the person who scoped the project isn’t the person who builds it, and details get lost in the relay.
Every 84EM engagement is handled directly by a principal engineer. Questions go straight to the person writing the code, and decisions don’t wait on a go-between.
What can 84EM build?
Web platforms and SaaS products, API integrations and middleware, back-end engineering, and headless or static sites.
Web Platforms & SaaS
Customer-facing applications, membership portals, and marketplaces. Full-stack builds with authentication, payment processing, admin panels, and the infrastructure behind them.
API Integrations & Middleware
Connecting CRMs, ERPs, payment processors, shipping providers, and third-party services so data moves between them cleanly. Custom middleware, webhooks, and sync logic built to handle edge cases.
Back-end Engineering
Background jobs, queues, scheduled tasks, and the operational plumbing production work needs, in a stack the team that inherits it can maintain.
Headless & Static Sites
Content-driven sites that load fast, rank well, and cost almost nothing to host.
How does a custom build run?
Four stages: discovery and scoping, architecture, development and testing, then documentation and handoff.
Discovery & Scoping
Requirements, technical constraints, stack selection, and a project plan with deliverables and dates.
Architecture
Architecture designed for your platform, hosting environment, and performance requirements. Estimates are specific, and scope doesn't quietly expand.
Development & Testing
Automated and manual testing throughout. Error handling, logging, monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines are part of the build from the start.
Documentation & Handoff
Code documentation, deployment instructions, and a walkthrough of the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can 84EM build AI into my product?
Yes. Custom AI tools, LLM-powered features, and automated workflows that plug into your existing stack. If you started an AI project that stalled, 84EM audits the work, fixes what's broken, and brings it to production. See AI Integration & Development for the full scope.
Can 84EM integrate with CRM, ERP, or business systems?
Yes. HubSpot, Salesforce, banking platforms, healthcare systems, payment processors, and more. Custom API connections built as needed.
What's 84EM's typical project timeline?
Small fixes and hourly tasks: a few business days. Small-to-mid projects like plugin builds or focused integrations: a few weeks. Complex builds like custom applications or platform integrations: 2 to 4 months. Enterprise engagements: 6 to 12+ months.
Will I work directly with the engineer doing the work?
Yes. 84EM's principal engineer is the point of contact and the accountable party from scoping through deployment. For larger engagements, a network of developers and specialists is brought in, but communication and accountability stay with the principal engineer.
Do I own the code 84EM writes?
Yes. All custom code is owned by the client, with full repository access, documentation, and no lock-in.
How do I get started with 84EM?
