I was under a tight deadline to launch my company's MVP with our first customer in under one month. The Amplified team took the Figma mocks and hustled to get a working MVP in two weeks and something shipped live for customers in a month. It was nothing short of a miracle, and I was so blessed that the team stayed so focused and cheerful throughout. They are a part of my core team now and I wouldn't have it any other way!

I cannot recommend a contracting firm more. Over the course of 2 years, I worked with Amplified across the lifecycle of multiple projects. The team built the first pre-revenue prototype of OfficeTogether to support an enterprise customer, then provided most of the engineering to scale it out to ~40 active clients along with thousands of daily active users. After OfficeTogether was acquired by Envoy in August 2022, the Amplified team worked on one of the most complicated migrations in Envoy’s history - ultimately shipping a system that supports up to 1,000 requests / second from IOT devices. This migration has been attempted twice over 2 years prior to the acquisition, but the Amplified + OfficeTogether team was able to turn it around and successfully deliver it within 6 months.This team exceeded my expectations for a contracting firm on three fronts:First, the team was incredibly self-sufficient. With high-level directives and goals, the team is able to manage projects with aggressive timelines, make reasonable product decisions while bringing in PMs and EMs when necessary, and in all of triaging, prioritizing, and squashing bugs that emerged throughout the lifecycle of the product. The project managers can communicate professionally, clearly, and responsibly with customers directly when needed and the engineers exercise good judgment on when to be bold and when to ask for clarification and advice from tech leads at OfficeTogether and Envoy.Second, the team is able to make long-term technical decisions. Rather than simply spinning up quick prototypes or “hacky” code which incurs a lot of tech-debt, this team understands how to think about writing maintainable, scalable, and long-living code. This team worked on some of the most core parts of OfficeTogether and Envoy and regularly presented, discussed, and executed on system designs driven by Amplified engineers. Third, this team is adaptable: it learns and grows to the system that’s needed. Having started in typescript and node, this team was able to take on conceptually new systems. After the Envoy acquisition, the Amplified team quickly picked up Kotlin, Kafka, Ember instead of React, and Kubernetes. This team is excited to learn and grow along with any client and I’m impressed not by their knowledge of any individual system but by their dedication and excitement to adapt to any *new* system that comes their way. Even beyond code, this team picked up production processes like daily deployments, happy-path testing, feature-flags, and system design RFCs.Ultimately, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Amplified. I would jump at the opportunity to work with this team again in the future and at its core deeply trust the team to be aligned with the long-term interests of the client and deliver high-quality software in a speedy timeframe. For anyone interested in references, I’m more than happy to discuss my experience, please feel free to reach out on LinkedIn.

We’ve worked with the Amplified team closely over the last two years across 2 different companies (AbstractOps and Autograph), and they have been critical to our velocity and delivering product and customer outcomes. In particular, they’ve given us the ability scale to building capacity in response to the needs of the business. But most importantly for an early stage startup, not just with “order takers” — the folks on the Amplified team are truly embedded teammates that we work shoulder-to-shoulder with, with a high degree of ownership, low ego, and incredible thoughtfulness at every turn.

We initially signed a contract with Amplified to outsource the development of a mobile app. We're over a year and a half in and I can say the relationship goes much deeper - Amplified has not only been an outstanding technical partner to us since day one, but they are now helping us with an invaluable rebranding project. As non-technical founders, my co-founder and I exhausted all options to ensure we partnered with the right team - Amplified has proven our due diligence right. Their agile approach with a focus on quick iterations was a cornerstone to building a product that not only aligned with our vision but also aligned with consumer feedback. They ensured we had a functional product in a timely fashion but most importantly that it was built on a thoughtful back-end architecture - I would recommend partnering with Amplified to anyone who wants to build tech with future scalability in mind. We are currently engaged in a rebranding project to further elevate our brand and the process has been meticulous and extremely insightful.

Amplified will be our first call on any new project we work on. They move quickly, take feedback well, and ship consistently high-quality designs and code. Their familiarity working together really sets them apart as they can hit the ground running and scale up or down super quickly. Highly recommend.

I worked with Amplified as I was trying to create an MVP for the startup I was founding as a non-technical founder. Throughout our time together, Amplified's team not only helped me better understand the technical challenges of my project but truly cooperated to onboard my CTO when I finally found one. The website Amplified delivered was unanimously praised by the users who have been trying it so far and after more than 8 months online I have received almost no report of bugs by users. I would definitely consider Amplified for my next projects.
