Navy / SoarTech
iOS・UI/UX
Navy F/A-18 fighter pilots need access to vital information quickly – traditionally this information is a literal stack of documents on their kneeboards. We worked with the Navy to conduct Industrial Design and UX Research into the human-factor challenges of digitizing a paper kneeboard and collaborated with a military contractor (SoarTech), to create a proof-of-concept demo.
Machine Learning from Concept to Product
Android・UI/UX
A pharmaceutical applications company wanted a way to easily verify that the right pharmaceutical product was in the hands of the right patient. When our client approached BNR, the idea was still in the theoretical phase. We worked closely with them to not only prove the viability of the product but to design and develop a solution that utilized machine learning.

What our clients have to say
I witnessed something really great when Big Nerd Ranch team embedded with ours. Not only did they partner to get the job done, but our team learned best practices along the way. They loved working alongside a team with such a strong reputation in the tech space.
Big Nerd Ranch’s team provided valuable business development services by helping establish best practices for the internal software development team. Their team communicated frequently and addressed challenges promptly, allowing for a professional and successful partnership.”
President & Co-Founder, PartCycle Technologies
Big Nerd Ranch did a phenomenal job migrating our platform to a modern ruby on rails framework. We had a system that was over a decade old, was written in Perl, and had no database, but a flat-file system. Amazingly, they found a way to migrate all our data over in a reasonable way, imported all our flat file data into a new database, and launched our website without any downtime. It was an impressive engineering feat and can’t thank them enough for their thoughtfulness, approach, and execution.

We’ve got the right Nerd for the job.
From filling in gaps to leading the charge, we’ve got you covered.
They act mainly as an individual contributor on the team. While their primary responsibility is to contribute code and attend team ceremonies, they tend to have an amazingly positive impact on their teammates and often mentor through example.
For teams that need project-specific guidance, the team leader acts as either a technical lead or as part of the team’s technical leadership group. Their goal is to provide guidance and advice while also directly contributing to the project.
If you find you need support in the overall growth of your team, then our Mentors are here for you. They will take your overall team goals and translate them into a real and actionable plan. And more than that, they will be with you every step of the way.
