About Us

Nathan Wilkinson founded What If Foundry with the mission of enhancing the state of software development. Our organization firmly believes that creating software need not be an arduous task for developers nor should it result in disappointment for business decision-makers. We have a proven track record of delivering outstanding software solutions and helping other organizations do the same.

In our view, it is imperative that developers derive professional fulfillment from their work. This is wider than the availability of foosball tables or catered meals, although such amenities are undoubtedly welcome. Rather, the development process itself must be a source of satisfaction. A high-stress and overworked environment can lead to the departure of skilled employees, which is undesirable. Instead, developers should have access to a supportive, collaborative, and predictable environment. The software architecture design should facilitate efficient and effective feature additions while enabling experienced developers to create elegant solutions. Major releases should be low-stress and uneventful.

Business decision-makers desire a software system that is adaptable to rapidly changing needs, accurate, reliable, and user-friendly. Cost options and the speed of availability are also crucial considerations for executives.

With two decades of industry experience, our organization has worked in environments that fostered excellent software design, project management, and business procedures to achieve these goals. Regrettably, we have also encountered environments that did not prioritize these factors. We can leverage our extensive experience to assist you in creating an environment that advances your business while avoiding potential pitfalls.

We have successfully applied our processes across a range of client environments and technologies. The following is a sample of the breadth of our experience. Contact us to discuss how we can assist you in achieving your objectives.
