OarTree builds and operates software for service businesses — operators who know their domain better than any vendor and need systems that match how they actually work.
We build alongside the people doing the work, translate operational knowledge into durable software, and stay involved long enough that the work compounds rather than dissipates.
Most software firms ship a project and disappear. The systems they leave behind atrophy because nobody understood why the decisions were made the way they were.
OarTree is structured for the opposite. Every engagement produces durable artifacts — specs, runbooks, decision logs — and the people who built it stay close enough to shape what comes next. The work compounds.
Every engagement is staffed at the principal level. Clients talk to the people doing the work, not a layer above them.
Full-stack Rails with deep production Kubernetes experience. Builds and runs systems that handle real load, in production, with real users.
The bridge between operators and engineering. Owns discovery, scoping, documentation, and delivery rhythm on every engagement — the throughline person.
Brings engagements, holds relationships, owns the translation work between operator vocabulary and engineering execution.
We build and run software for service businesses. The systems are live, the users are real, and the work is ongoing — not portfolio pieces from years past.
