BKDSW LLC · Boutique software, since 2012
A small studio of senior engineers. Thirteen years of shipping production software for founders and ops teams.
Baked Software is the working name of BKDSW LLC, a boutique development agency founded in 2012. We picked up Rails, Go, and Rust early — back when each was promising but unproven — because we like working at the cutting edge, not the bleeding one. New enough to compound, mature enough to sleep through the night.
We work in tight pairs and trios. No account managers, no offshore layers, no “solutions architects” who’ve never run a migration at 2 a.m. The person who scopes the work is the person who writes it.
Greenfield apps from sketch to App Store. Web, iOS, Android, desktop. We pick boring tools on purpose — until we don’t.
Production-grade LLM features that don’t embarrass you in the demo. Evals first, hype later.
Boring, paged-rarely infrastructure. Cloudflare at the edge, Terraform for the rest, K8s when warranted, Fly/Render when it isn’t.
Inherited a codebase that nobody understands? We’ve seen worse. We do triage, then surgery, then docs — in that order.
Interfaces that feel expensive. Shaders, scroll-driven animation, dense tables that don’t lag.
For founders who need a senior in the room without the salary line. Hiring plans, architecture review, vendor calls.
One paid week. We read the code, talk to your users, write a memo. If we can’t help, we say so.
The risky part first. By end of week two you have a working slice of the hardest thing in the project.
Weekly demos, daily commits, a Loom whenever it’s faster than typing. No standups, no Jira theatre.
We document what we built, train your team to own it, and leave — unless you’d like us to stick around for ongoing work.
Tell us about the project. Two-line email is fine — we’d rather meet you on a call than read a brief.
