We are small, but effective.
Not big, but eager to please.
Overpass grows and shrinks based on the projects we carry out.
Software trends change from year to year-- we change too.
Our Mission
We will bring our clients the best software developers at the best price--no matter where it takes us.
Background
Overpass is a small UK-based company which specializes in the development of bespoke software projects for small to medium enterprises in the UK. Overpass serves its clients by developing quality software products and by helping clients overcome the obstacles to working with their virtual offshore teams.
Our clients are often small companies that do not have the resources for large scale offshore projects. They hire Overpass to create software or work on existing legacy systems.
Currently, our clients are bases in the UK, but we are confident we will expand further in the future.
Overpass was founded by Eric Wroolie, an American man living in the UK who has worked with software organizations for over a decade. He can speak Chinese Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Hindi. He has worked with developers in India, China, and Poland. He is a certified Scrum Master. He believes that Overpass can help give UK companies a local company to work with while their software projects are developed offshore.
Technologies
Overpass uses custom collaboration systems, published coding standards, VoIP, and instant messaging to work with developers and service providers around the world.
Overpass specializes in development using C#, PHP, Ruby on Rails, and Java. We work on new software projects and existing legacy applications. We are strong users of Subversion for source control and work to promote Agile software practices. The majority of our projects are based on Scrum.
Our Philosophy
Talented software developers are difficult to find. It is an easy profession to get into, so it is flooded with mediocre talent. In this age of easy information, anyone can become a coder-- but we want to partner with like-minded developers who seek the thrill of complex problems and building the solutions for them.
We want to partner with people who can think quickly and with originality. We don't want robots.
We also want to give our clients the best value.
We are living in exciting times. We are the pioneers of the information age. The world is shrinking and we are fortunate to be alive to witness it. Working together, we can make this as smooth as possible for our clients and the world.
Software done right can be expensive--but it doesn't have to be. Help us help our clients.
