Extraordinarily Human Software

We are your long-term technical partner—bringing senior engineering, product design, and systems thinking to companies that are ready to build something special.
What we do
-
Engineering Leadership
Brandon embeds with your team as a senior technical anchor. He guides architecture, mentors engineers, and helps you make decisions that won't haunt you in two years. One engagement at a time. Long-term by design.
-
Product Design & Frontend
Renae leads design on engagements where UX depth and quality matter. Complex data visualization, enterprise workflows, and products where decisions have real consequences.
-
P.O.C. to Production
You proved it works, but it's not ready for prime time yet. We take fragile or vibe-coded prototypes and turn them into systems that scale, hold up under pressure, and don't require your own wizard to maintain.
-
Rescue & Remediation
Inherited a mess? We've seen worse. Seriously, we promise you we have. We audit, triage, and fix codebases that have gotten out of pocket—without suggesting we start by burning everything down.
Renae Marjorie
is a designer and co-founder of Marjorie James. She's spent over a decade designing software that helps people achieve their goals without tedium, frustration, or especially digital abuse. As part of her work philosophy, she is hands-on throughout the process and remains deeply involved while shipping code, testing, measuring, and iterating.
At Marjorie James, she leads product design with a focus on enterprise user experiences in industrial genres including manufacturing, agriculture, and industrial safety. Her work heavily involves telematics, live data, data visualization, and other complex interactions where getting it wrong has serious consequences.
Brandon James
was born cold, naked, and alone, yet overcame these obstacles to become the engineering half of Marjorie James. For over 15 years he has built the backend systems that people trust without ever thinking about them: payment systems that move real money, APIs that become load-bearing the moment they ship, and mission-critical tooling that other companies build their businesses on.
He's scaled systems to hundreds of thousands of users, led teams through the migrations and rescues nobody volunteers for, and treats the word "done" as a hypothesis, not a fact. His best work is the kind you never notice, because it never gives you a reason to.
Let's build something special together.
Brandon leads every engagement full-time. Renae brings design and user experience expertise. You work directly with us, and we treat your business like it's our own.
We're selective about who we work with because when we're in, we're all the way in. If you're building something worth caring about, we'd love to hear about it. Contact us for a technical therapy session and bring everything that has hurt you.
