Who we are.
A small, boutique software development shop, run by the people who write the code. No account managers, no layers between you and the engineers doing the work.
Two founders, one shop.
Kris Ivanov and Rob Stewart, who are dedicated to developing great technological solutions, founded CraftTek in 2013. CraftTek is a small boutique firm but a full software development shop. We serve large enterprises as well as small startups, offering our cross-domain expertise in solving problems in a cost effective and timely manner.
Solving complex business problems.
At the center of our philosophy are our clients' goals along with our core values of integrity, honesty and innovation. We think that it is fun to solve problems and look for people who have the creativity and perseverance needed to solve complex problems faced in today's businesses. We are continuously learning and innovating to keep up-to-date with the latest technologies.
At CraftTek, we take a great deal of pride in the positive results that our clients achieve with our help. Our clients view us as a valued business partner and we work creatively to earn their trust and respect.
Who you deal with.
CraftTek was founded and is owned by two engineers who still write code. They lead a small team of senior developers — but the founders stay on the work, so you are never handed off to someone you have not met.
Kris Ivanov
Co-founder
A developer entrepreneur who co-founded CraftTek in 2013 and still writes code on client projects. His work runs deepest in trading systems infrastructure, data platforms, and the automation that connects systems nobody designed to talk to each other.
Rob Stewart
Co-founder
A developer entrepreneur who co-founded CraftTek in 2013 and remains hands-on. He works across application development, system integration, and the architecture decisions that determine whether a system is still maintainable in its third year.
Agile, and hands-on.
The CraftTek team is led by two developer entrepreneurs with over 60 years of combined experience. We follow tightly to an agile process that holds fast to the Agile Manifesto's top priority: to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
We are remote-first, with an office in Tampa, Florida for the times when working side by side gets the job done faster.
