Custom Software Development AI-Native SDLC in
Southern California

Cost depends on complexity and timeline. MVP Sprint projects (6 weeks) range from $40,000-$80,000. Full enterprise applications range from $100,000-$500,000+. Legacy modernization projects range from $60,000-$200,000. Our Contract-First approach means you get a fixed quote before we write any code — no scope creep, no surprise invoices. Payment is tied to deliverable milestones. Call (949) 379-8500 for a detailed estimate.

AI-Native SDLC integrates artificial intelligence into every phase of software development — not just as a product feature, but as a development methodology. AI assists with sprint planning and complexity estimation, code generation via pair-programming, automated test suite creation, code review for security vulnerabilities, real-time documentation generation, and deployment monitoring. This results in 40-60% faster development velocity, higher code quality, and fewer production bugs compared to traditional Agile.

Yes — 100% IP ownership transfers to you. This is non-negotiable in every Technijian engagement. You own all source code, documentation, designs, architecture, and intellectual property. We provide full repository access from day one. At project completion you receive complete source code, deployment documentation, architecture guides, and a full technical handoff. Your code is protected under California law.

Before any code is written, we define every API contract, data model, user flow, and integration point in a detailed specification document. Both sides sign off. This becomes the immutable blueprint for the entire project. Every feature, endpoint, and screen is defined upfront. If we suggest adding something mid-project, we explain the cost impact before proceeding — and the decision is always yours. Result: zero scope overruns across all Contract-First projects.

Three critical differences: (1) Local accountability — your PM and lead architect are in Irvine, CA and meet you in person across Southern California. (2) IP protection — your code is protected under California law, not subject to foreign jurisdiction. (3) Quality — our AI-Native SDLC and Contract-First architecture deliver production-ready software, not ‘spaghetti code’ that needs rewriting. You get global development speed without offshore risk. This is The Hybrid Advantage™.

Onboarding follows a structured 4-phase process: (1) Discovery & Assessment (Week 1) — full IT audit, security gap analysis, compliance review. (2) Pod Assignment (Week 2) — dedicated 3-4 engineer team matched to your industry and requirements. (3) Onboarding & Migration (Weeks 2-4) — deploy monitoring, security tools, backup, management platforms with zero downtime. (4) Stabilize & Optimize (Month 2+) — fix legacy issues, close security gaps, begin quarterly business reviews. Most businesses are fully transitioned within 30 days with zero disruption.

Yes. Legacy modernization (.NET Framework to .NET 8) is one of our most requested services. We assess your existing codebase, design a phased migration architecture, migrate incrementally to avoid disruption, optimize performance, harden security, and train your team on the new stack. Most legacy modernizations complete in 8-16 weeks depending on complexity. Zero downtime during transition.

Yes. We build custom AI agents, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) applications, LLM fine-tuning projects, AI chatbots and copilots, and AI-powered features for existing products. We use OpenAI, LangChain, Hugging Face, Pinecone/Weaviate vector databases, and custom model hosting. Our AI-Native SDLC means AI isn’t an afterthought — it’s integrated from sprint one. We also handle LLMOps, prompt engineering, and AI safety/guardrails.
