The studio

Built by someone
who knows your world.

REDTech is led by Justin Rose, a technologist and higher education leader who builds the kinds of systems he uses every day. That perspective connects institutional strategy with the details that make software useful.

You work directly with the person designing and building your platform. A deliberate scope keeps the work personal, the communication clear, and the focus on your team.

“I don’t just build software for institutions. I use it every day.”

A few practical things

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Some things you may be wondering before we get started.

Ask us something else
How do we get started?

Start with a 30-minute conversation about your goals and what is getting in the way. If the scope needs more definition, a short discovery sprint produces a workflow map, an architecture memo, and a scoped build proposal.

Who owns the code, data, and infrastructure?

You do. Code lives in your repositories, infrastructure runs in your cloud account, and your organization owns the data and domains. There are no REDTech seat licenses or shared tenancy.

Can you work with our existing team and systems?

Yes. Engagements can pair with your developers, IT staff, data team, and the people who will use the software. Integrations are scoped around your existing systems, with documentation to help your team maintain the result.

How do you approach privacy and security?

Security is part of the architecture: SSO through your identity provider, least-privilege access, audit logging, and data in your cloud environment. Privacy and compliance requirements, including FERPA where applicable, are scoped explicitly with your team.

How are projects priced?

Discovery is fixed-fee and credited toward the build. Platform builds use a project-based proposal with a defined scope and price. Ongoing support is a monthly retainer sized to the platform. Hosting and third-party services are separate from REDTech fees.

What happens after launch?

Launch includes documentation and a 30-day warranty. An ongoing partnership can cover monitoring, maintenance, priority improvements, and incident support. The scope and support expectations are agreed on together.

Let’s make something useful

What could work
better in your world?

Bring the challenge. We’ll bring curiosity, experience, and a practical place to start.
