It's time to head in the right direction

Hiring a full-stack engineer helps you march faster. Full system development ensures you're building the right thing with the right tools -- it's a force multiplier for your organization instead of an incremental add-on.

U-Turn has honed the full system development approach over two decades from companies large and small. Our mission is always to work on only the most critical problems. Focus and alignment allow us to achieve unexpected outcomes quickly and with fewer people.

• COVID Trace

  Created a digital contact tracing app at the pandemic's start within five weeks. Nevada launched the COVID Trace app in partnership with Apple and Google, becoming one of the first states to spearhead digital contact tracing. We helped Nevada become the first jurisdiction in the world to have both an app and use the Android/iOS operating system exposure notifications side-by-side when it became apparent to us that was the best option.

Testimonial

As CEO of a growing middle-market e-commerce company, I sought a technology expert to evaluate our legacy proprietary technology platform. The U-Turn team evaluated, recommended, and implemented a plan to stabilize our platform, rebuild, optimize, and hand it off to our internal team of developers and network engineers to maintain. The U-Turn team is composed of knowledgeable technology veterans capable of communicating complex strategies across the entire organization.

I would highly recommend the U-Turn team and their services to anyone seeking to improve website performance, increase organic search traffic, and optimize the overall consumer experience. Their leadership, vision, knowledge, and management resulted in 62% revenue growth over the succeeding two-year period.

Our project was much more complex than anticipated and would never have been attempted, let alone completed and delivered, if not for the U-Turn strategy and vision. The team really appreciates the time, effort, patience, and leadership U-Turn provided to complete, deliver, and hand off this critical project.
