1. Who we are

Data Snakes is a small team built for practical execution. We have backgrounds primarily in business administration and software engineering, with a ton of carry-over managing projects of all shapes and sizes. We always look to build reliable systems that just work, with a focus on small to mid-sized businesses. Working with us means clarity, ownership, and measurable outcomes, not intermittent communication or confusing deliverables.

We work best with teams that want to move fast without creating long-term technical debt. That being said, we've also built MVPs that just need to do the thing now, but with a clear outline of tradeoffs.

Whatever it is, we're open to hearing all about it.

2. Our standards

Simple by Design

We start from the business workflows: approvals, handoffs, and cost. We leverage existing, industry-standard tools wherever possible and introduce custom solutions only when they deliver clear value.

Engineer Built

Architecture that makes sense, readable code, and integrations that do not break under real usage. We leverage your existing infrastructure, else default to a sane and proven design pattern.

Security First

Security is an ongoing battle. We constantly monitor software vulnerabilities to keep our clients' projects up to snuff, always building with a not if but when mentality to ensure a minimal blast radius.

3. What we optimize for

Most businesses don't need “more software.” They need less friction. We focus on the operational outcomes that matter: faster processing, fewer manual steps, tighter reporting, and systems that keep working when people are busy.

Clear scope and constraints, so work does not drift
Incremental delivery, so you see progress early
Predictable handoffs: documentation, ownership, and next steps
Maintainable implementation and stupidly simple, tested code

4. How we work

We run engagements with a simple cadence: define the outcome, map the current state, propose the smallest solution that gets the job done, then ship in stages with checkpoints. You will always know what is happening, what is next, and what we need from you.

Project Timeline

Initial Meeting

Context, objectives, and constraints

Phase 1

We start with a focused conversation to understand your business context, goals, constraints, timelines, and decision-makers. This step ensures alignment on outcomes before any assumptions or solutions are introduced.

Investigation

Understand the problem before defining the solution

Phase 2

We examine the situation: workflows, data flows, dependencies, and friction points. The goal is clarity - identifying root causes, risks, and opportunities, so effort is spent where it actually matters.

Proposal

Clear scope, expectations, and trade-offs

Phase 3

You receive a structured proposal outlining scope, assumptions, milestones, responsibilities, and commercial terms. This document is designed to eliminate ambiguity and align expectations before work begins.

Agreement & Onboarding

Set the foundation for execution

Phase 4

Once agreed, we formalize the engagement and establish working rhythms, communication channels, and access requirements. This phase ensures the project starts cleanly, without operational drag or surprises.

Project Kickoff

Execution with momentum and visibility

Phase 5

We begin work with a shared understanding of priorities, milestones, and success criteria. Progress is intentional, visible, and iterative, with regular checkpoints to ensure we stay aligned as the project evolves.

5. What you can expect

We are small by design. That means direct access, fast iteration, and no layers. It also means we are selective: we take projects where we can be accountable for a clean outcome.

If we are not the right fit, we will tell you quickly - and, where possible, point you toward a better path.
