Why Pink Shirt?

Past and present clients have invited us back for their new projects. Their confidence is a good reason to consider Pink Shirt for yours.

Our experience spans several different types of projects and processor families (Atmel, 8051, PIC, Motorola, and desktop PC). Please see the Projects page for more information about our experience.

We have worked on hardware-hugging assembly code projects from under 8 KBytes to large, object-oriented projects having several hundred C++ classes. We will work alone or as part of a team.

As an independent consultancy, our rates can be significantly lower than those of many consulting companies which charge 40% - 50% overhead on top of what their programmer earns. Our proven communications skills can avoid the kind of misunderstandings that commonly add time and wasted effort to projects.

Pink Shirt will work on any or all phases of your project from requirements definition through testing, alone or as part of a team. From assembly language to C code to object-oriented C++, from product idea to working hardware, our focus is on results and on serving our clients well.

Above all, we like working on exciting projects. Please contact us to talk about your current or upcoming projects.

Why the name "Pink Shirt?"

The short answer: We wanted a name people would remember.

The long answer: Coming up with a name was harder than it sounded. One day while toying with ideas and watching "Raising Arizona"-- one of the CEO's favorite movies -- the character Nathan Arizona was wearing a pink shirt in a scene. Janice Bayer said "Pink Shirt Software," and liked the sound of it.

"Pink Shirt Software" is not intended to convey any hidden meanings or political messages, and no, Janice Bayer has no special affinity for pink shirts, although we see her wearing one from time to time.
