About Vasker Tech

We have a singular mission: to help you build the best software possible.

Whether crafting an enchanting UI or writing beautifully clean code, we build because we love it. It’s an instinct we can't turn off, even if we tried. We take pride in every line of code and every design element, striving to create software that stands out and gets results.

Our Story

  • Our founder's journey began in the trenches of traditional software development, where countless hours were spent in meetings discussing sprints, features, and deadlines. He grew increasingly frustrated with the inefficiencies and communication breakdowns that plagued the industry, and it hindered his ability to build cool software.

  • Designers, front-end developers, and back-end developers operated in isolated groups, each with their own agenda and priorities, leading to a fragmented and cumbersome development process.

  • Witnessing these challenges firsthand, he founded Vasker and started experimenting with a more integrated approach. The goal was to create a development environment where every team member was empowered with full-stack capabilities and ownership of their work, eliminating the bottlenecks and miscommunications that hinder progress.

The Problem

Traditional development practices are riddled with inefficiencies:

  • Blind Designers: Designers often lack the understanding of what it takes to turn their designs into working code, leading to unrealistic and cumbersome design elements.
  • Frustrated Front-End Developers: Countless hours are spent by Front-end developers, adjusting designs that could be optimized with better communication and understanding.
  • Clueless Back-End Developers: Back-end developers struggle to structure data and logic in a way that optimizes the front-end experience, leading to increased technical debt.

The Breakthrough - AI

The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) provided the missing piece to this puzzle. Instead of merely using these AI models to write code, we leveraged them to accelerate learning. Our designers began mastering the principles of good coding (and what bad code looks like), and our backend developers gained a deeper understanding of the design process. This cross-pollination of skills led to something beautiful.

Solution - Vertically Integrated Development (VID)

As the distinction between roles blurred, we shifted our focus to feature-based task assignment. This evolution culminated in our Vertically Integrated Development (VID) approach. Here’s how VID works:

  • The Right People: We prioritize quality over quantity, assembling a team of full-stack developers proficient in backend, middleware, and front-end development. Armed with cutting-edge development tools, they achieve higher productivity.
  • Ownership and Responsibility: Each team member is given ownership of a specific application section, granting them full responsibility and decision-making power within defined parameters.
  • Streamlining Roles: By eliminating traditional roles, our team members are empowered to oversee their sections, minimizing the need for constant communication and enabling faster, more efficient development.
