Every change is reviewed by a senior engineer before it ships.

Most software gets built through a bad trade.

Four usual ways to get software built. Each one costs you something.

  1. Large agencyThe seniors from the pitch rarely write your code.

  2. Offshore or freelanceYou end up as the project manager.

  3. In-house hireMonths of recruiting before the first line of code.

  4. DIY with AI toolsA weekend demo. No one accountable when it breaks.

Senior-led, AI-amplifiedAI changed where the hard part of building software lives. We built the company around it.

Four layers. One standard of review.

Founder-led, by design.

AI coding agents changed what a senior engineer can deliver. They didn’t change who should make the decisions.
Frank Del Medico, Founder & CEO

I founded Brierdev on that thesis, after my M.S. in Management at the Wake Forest School of Business.

My role is product. I turn your goals into a roadmap of shippable deliverables, and I hold us to it.

Pro Humanitate, Wake Forest’s motto: for humanity. Software that genuinely helps people, and straight talk about how it’s built.

Questions careful buyers ask

Straight answers, using facts you can check.

Something we didn’t cover? Send us a message

Why should we trust Brierdev with our project?

Because you always know who is accountable. Our senior engineers have 8+ years of experience and review every change before it ships. Frank Del Medico owns your roadmap, you own the code from day one, and projects start at $5,000.

Is AI-written code safe to put in production?

AI writes first drafts; it never decides what ships. A senior engineer reviews every change, and it passes the same tests and security checks as hand-written code. Architecture, security, performance, outages and maintenance stay with our engineers.

Which AI tools do you use?

We use industry-proven coding agents and AI tools, including Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Devin, GitHub Copilot Business, Amazon Q Developer, Kiro, Tabnine, Replit, Relume and Figma Make. Each one is hand-picked for your project’s complexity and dependencies.

Who actually builds my software?

Our senior engineering team leads and reviews every change, working with hand-picked AI coding agents. When a project needs more capacity, our outsourcing partners join, working to our standards under senior review. You’ll always know who’s on your project.

Who owns the code?

You do, from day one. Your software is built in repositories you control.

How do demos and timelines work?

We break your scope into independent, shippable deliverables and agree a demo date for each. Most first drafts are ready to demo within the first week. We work in Agile, so priorities can change at any time.

What’s the investment?

Projects start at $5,000. Rates run $135–225 per hour, as fixed-price, time-and-materials or a monthly retainer. Priority Express is scoped on your discovery call, and the call itself is free.

How fast can we start?

We reply within 24 hours, and you’ll have a proposal within 48 hours of your discovery call. If your launch date can’t move, ask about Priority Express: your first draft and mockups in week one.

Which cloud platforms do you build on, and what about uptime?

We’re Microsoft and Azure first, and we deploy to AWS or any major cloud you prefer. Your software inherits the provider’s published SLA for each service we deploy.

Do you handle personal data and GDPR?

Yes. Most applications handle personal data, so we design to GDPR requirements from the start. We don’t issue certifications; we build the controls your compliance review will ask for.
