Most projects will be written in C# or Node.Js. Web based projects will center on a mix of Asp.Net Core and MVC. Our front end consists primarily of Angular 6+, Angular.Js and Razor.

All projects will put to use strong SQL skills. Developers are expected to be at the top of their game, understand complex business domains and use their skills to create great products.
