Our Story

From frustration with disposable code to founding ByteForever

October 2025

ByteForever Founded

I spent 8 years building payment systems and platforms that couldn't fail. Systems processing millions of transactions where 99.9% uptime wasn't a goal—it was the minimum. Then I watched too many companies get burned by agencies promising senior engineers but delivering juniors, by code that worked for 6 months then fell apart, by vendors who knew their clients were trapped. So I started ByteForever. Same standards. No BS. Just software that actually lasts.

November 2025

Team Assembled

I didn't want to build another agency with a pool of developers we swap based on availability. So I handpicked 14 specialists—every single one with 5+ years of real production experience. No juniors learning on your dime. No contractors we've never met. Just experienced engineers who've built systems at scale and know what actually works. We're small by design. Quality over quantity.

Building Begins

We started building with our 'Built to Last' philosophy from day one. Every project gets architected for scalability and maintainability, not quick wins. We write code like we'll be maintaining it in 5 years. We document everything. We test properly. We choose boring, proven tech over shiny new frameworks. Because software that breaks in 6 months isn't worth building.

Growing

We're still small. Still focused. Still turning down projects that aren't a good fit. Our goal isn't to be the biggest agency—it's to be the one that actually delivers. We'd rather do 3 projects well than 10 projects poorly. Every client gets direct access to me and the engineers building their system. No account managers. No red tape. Just good software engineering.

I spent 8+ years building enterprise systems that couldn't fail. Payment platforms processing millions of transactions. Systems where 99.9% uptime wasn't a goal—it was the minimum. Then I got tired of the BS. Tired of agencies overpromising and underdelivering. Tired of outsourced teams who disappear after launch. Tired of 'senior engineers' who need hand-holding. So I built ByteForever—a company that does software engineering the way it should be done: with senior engineers only, zero vendor lock-in, and brutal honesty over sales pitches.

I believe in three things: (1) Quality over quantity—we'd rather do 3 projects well than 10 poorly. (2) Honesty over salesmanship—if we're not the right fit, I'll tell you upfront. (3) Long-term partnerships over one-off contracts—we're here to build systems that last, not quick wins that break in 6 months.

When you work with ByteForever, you're working directly with me. I review every system architecture. I'm in your Slack channel. I guarantee our work with a money-back guarantee on the first sprint. If we're not the right fit, you'll know within 2 weeks—not 6 months.

Our Team

14 Specialists. Zero Juniors.

We're a team of 14 specialists (including our founder) who've built systems at scale. A mix of employees and contractors—all with 5+ years of real-world experience. No outsourced juniors. No 'learn on your dime' engineers.

Full Team Expertise

Every project has access to:

  • Full-Stack Engineering
  • DevOps & Cloud
  • Mobile Development
  • AI & Automation
  • QA & Testing
  • Product Design

All senior. All 5+ years. All committed to your project.

Team Philosophy

We could hire junior developers at lower rates. Many companies do — they staff projects with juniors and charge senior rates. The client gets slower delivery, more bugs, and code that's harder to maintain.

We chose a different path. Smaller team. Senior people. Higher quality. We'd rather do fewer projects well than more projects poorly.

When you work with ByteForever, you're not a training ground for someone's career. You're getting experienced professionals who've seen your challenges before.

Our Core Values

These aren't just words on a wall. They're how we operate every day.

Quality Over Quantity

We'd rather do three projects well than ten projects poorly. Every system we build is architected to last, not rushed to hit arbitrary deadlines. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

Honesty Over Salesmanship

We don't oversell. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you upfront. If a feature will take 8 weeks (not 2), you'll hear the truth. No bait-and-switch, no hidden costs, no BS.

Ownership Over Excuses

When something breaks, we fix it—no finger-pointing, no blaming frameworks. You own 100% of your code, and we own 100% of our work. If we mess up, we make it right.

Our Product

We Build What We Sell

SnagRex

Deal-Hunting Intelligence Platform

What It Is:

Our flagship product, SnagRex, is a B2B2C deal aggregation platform that demonstrates our 'Built to Last' philosophy in action. It's not just another coupon site—it's an enterprise-grade system built for scale, performance, and long-term growth.

Why We Built It:

Most agencies can only show you other people's work. We wanted to show you ours.

We're using SnagRex to prove that our 'Built to Last' philosophy works—not just for clients, but for our own products too.

  • Real-time deal aggregation from 50+ merchants
  • AI-powered deal scoring and recommendation engine
  • Multi-tenant B2B2C architecture with white-label support
  • Sub-200ms API response times at scale
  • 99.9% uptime with zero-downtime deployments
  • Full documentation and admin tooling

The Point:

We built SnagRex the same way we build client projects—no shortcuts, no technical debt, no "we'll fix it later." When you work with us, you're getting the same code quality, architecture decisions, and senior engineers we use for our own products.
