Rasteroids Design Reviews
Write a ReviewA development partner who treated our roadmap as carefully as their own
Clémentine Aubert / Head of Digital Products - Arc-en-Ciel Digital SASMar 29, 2026
Project summary: Regulatory submission timelines required a document management platform that could handle version control, access permissions, and audit trails at a scale our existing tools were not designed for.
The project brief was ambitious and we had received proposals ranging from two to five times our eventual budget from other vendors. This team came back with a proposal that was commercially realistic and technically credible — and then delivered against it. That alignment between proposal and outcome is not something I take for granted. I have been on the other side of it enough times to know it requires both honesty in the sales process and discipline in delivery. We experienced both.
Deep domain knowledge that reduced the discovery overhead significantly, proactive risk identification before issues became incidents, delivery cadence that our stakeholders found reassuring
Pipeline availability for kickoff required a few weeks of lead time — in hindsight that selection pressure means you are working with a team that is in demand for the right reasons

Radosław Kowalczyk / Head of Development - Wisła Software Sp zooMar 22, 2026
Project summary: Digital service standards required all citizen-facing applications to meet accessibility and performance benchmarks that our inherited systems failed. Remediation was not viable — we needed a replacement.
The integration layer was the part of the project I was most concerned about going in. Our system landscape is complex, several of the upstream APIs we relied on were poorly documented, and two third-party vendors had a history of unpredictable response times on integration questions. This team managed all of that. They documented what the upstream vendors could not, built resilience into the integration architecture where the upstream behaviour was unreliable, and delivered a solution that works as specified in production. I could not have asked for more.
Delivery timeline that proved achievable rather than optimistic, estimation accuracy that reflected real analysis rather than competitive bidding, scope discipline that prevented the feature creep we had experienced before

Omar Al-Farsi / Chief Technology Officer - Falcon Digital VenturesMar 14, 2026
Project summary: A previous engagement had delivered something that worked in staging and struggled in production. We approached this project with greater rigour in vendor selection as a result.
Six months after go-live our platform is processing three times the transaction volume we specified in the original brief. The architecture choices made during discovery accommodated that growth without remediation work. That is the difference between a team that designs for what you tell them and a team that designs for what you are likely to need. We are in conversation about a Phase 2 engagement and I expect to be using this partnership for several years.
Architectural decisions designed for longevity rather than just the current brief, thorough automated test coverage, post-launch stability that validated every technical choice made during discovery
The quality of documentation they produce means our team needed to set aside dedicated review time to do it justice — a minor scheduling point rather than a genuine criticism
Questions & Answers
Publishing workflow that took our time-to-live from days to under an hour
Imogen Tanner / Head of Engineering - Outback Data SolutionsFeb 17, 2026
Project summary: A content deal had given us the rights to a major catalogue but our delivery infrastructure could not stream it reliably at scale. We needed a cloud-native video platform in under six months.
Our stakeholder group included board members, clinical leads, compliance officers, and end users — each with different technical literacy and different success criteria. This team navigated that stakeholder landscape as well as any vendor I have seen. They adjusted their communication register depending on the audience without losing the substance. They managed expectations honestly throughout. And they delivered a system that each group can point to as meeting their requirements. That breadth is genuinely uncommon.
Production system that has performed as specified since go-live without remediation work, documentation thorough enough to support internal maintenance, knowledge transfer that left our team genuinely capable
Time zone coordination required some deliberate overlap management from both sides in the first couple of sprints, after which we had an efficient async rhythm that worked for the whole project

Hyun-Su Lim / Director of Platform - Hanam Tech SolutionsJan 10, 2026
Project summary: Regulatory submission timelines required a document management platform that could handle version control, access permissions, and audit trails at a scale our existing tools were not designed for.
We had worked with three agencies before this engagement. The comparison is not flattering to the others. What distinguished this team was a systematic approach to understanding the problem before proposing a solution — something that sounds obvious and is practiced far less often than it should be. The delivery phase ran to schedule, the codebase is clean enough that our internal engineers made positive comments during handover review, and we have not logged a critical incident in five months of live operation. We intend to use them for our next phase of work.

Their discovery process is more rigorous than we were accustomed to and required more preparation from our side than we had initially allocated — but the quality of what followed justified every hour of it

Flawless mobile app that our users love
Robert Martinez / Operations Manager - Solutions GroupAug 26, 2025
Project summary: Our telecom infrastructure needed a modern OSS/BSS layer to support rapid product launches.
From day one, the team felt like an extension of our own organisation. They immersed themselves in our domain, challenged us to think bigger, and delivered a solution that is both technically sound and strategically valuable. The project came in on time and within budget, which is rare for an engagement of this complexity. We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to a long-term partnership.
Deep technical expertise, professional project management, responsive support, great value

Outstanding service and exceptional results
Anna Kowalski / Project Lead - EuroSoftware GmbHSep 09, 2024
Project summary: The project demanded deep technical expertise and a thorough understanding of our business domain.
The level of professionalism and technical excellence this team brought to our project was remarkable. They managed a complex, multi-stakeholder engagement with ease, kept all parties aligned, and delivered a product that has already exceeded our KPIs. Their attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile, and genuine care for our success made this one of the best vendor relationships we have had in years.
