Code District

I’m the CTO of Better Healthcare, a digital healthcare company that’s been around for five years. We’re focused on scheduling and data analytics relating to scheduling.

We engaged Code District when we had to hire new engineers.

Initially, Code District provided us with 4–5 engineers that worked on our web apps, which included patient- and healthcare provider-facing apps. Apart from that, they helped us architect solutions and make our product better.

We worked with 4–5 people, including the lead engineer who was the manager and a full stack developer. There were two other full stack developers and two QA engineers.

Code District was recommended to do mobile development work for a subsidiary of our company. One of our engineers was impressed with their work, so they were referred to us.

We invested over $100,000.

Our partnership lasted from December 2021–May 2023.

We saw increased patient bookings and healthcare provider usage of our platform, which had more valuable features. The increase was around 10%. Meanwhile, Code District responded promptly to any bugs. They’d tell us what was happening, and we’d take it from there.

Code District worked with us. They were embedded in our team and engineers. Moreover, they always hit deadlines. When they didn’t, it was due to a shift in scope or other things that were out of their control. They also stayed on budget.

I was impressed with the willingness of Code District engineers to go the extra mile. They learned the new technologies we were using. Overall, they cared about the UX and the outcomes of their work.

They could use stronger management. When we initially engaged them, the manager was great. However, we could tell the management wasn't as good once we reduced the team to 2–3 people. They did well, but things were a bit more ad hoc.

Ensure your project or features are well-defined. This will enable Code District to go in and start working right away. At the same time, they can be a part of your initial design process.

We needed help with custom software development.

Code District has been helping us with custom software integration for a product that can read files, process them, and write them back out. Our team already has the design, so Code District has assisted us in finalizing that design to start building the platform. In terms of tools, they’ve used JavaScript, AWS hosting, and off-the-shelf software for SFTP processing, among other tools for code generation.

We’ve started working with four members of Code District’s team for the project’s first phase, but we currently have two people from their staff assigned to us. These members include developers, their legal department, and their sales team.

We found them online and chose them over three other potential companies because they seemed to be the best fit for us.

So far, we’ve spent $18,000 with them.

We started working together in November 2022, and the engagement is still ongoing.

The platform that Code District’s has created for us allows us to handle many client files with functional compliance, which is important because it increases our internal productivity twofold.

Code District has been excellent in meeting deadlines and staying within budget. We’ve also had weekly calls with them to check on the Scrum process and the project's progress. Moreover, we’ve changed the work’s scope throughout the engagement, and they’ve accommodated my requests within our timeframes. Regarding tools and communication, we use Zoom due to our preference.

Code District's agility and ability to respond quickly to our requests are a couple of their biggest strengths. They’ve also been cost-conscious regarding not making additional charges whenever they make a mistake or want to tackle the project differently. Additionally, Code District is W-9 compliant, which is also important for us.

Initially, we had trouble getting their payments to them because they didn’t give us the right information, which put a hiccup in the process. Code District’s team could enhance their overall workflow. Other than that, I don’t think they can improve anything on the technical side.

Have a thorough and clear understanding of what you need so they can provide according to your requirements.

I’m the founder of CoDiary. Our product enables individuals and couples to invite a therapist into their conversation. Users can communicate in a written format, manage conversations about difficult topics, and find resolutions.

We’ve engaged Code District to provide custom software development solutions.

So far, we’ve worked with Code District on the discovery phase. First, I built the project flow and shared it with the team. After reviewing the flow, they asked questions and helped me refine the solution substantially before progressing to the development phase.

I work with about five people. One teammate manages the sales, quotations, and pricing. We also work with the CEO, head of development, and two other development teammates.

I’m not sure how we initially found Code District, but their president contacted me when he visited the US. He made the trip to my city, and we spent a few hours reviewing the project and discussing his team’s capabilities.

We’ve spent about $50,000.

We began working with them in April 2022, and we’re still working with them.

Code District hasn’t delivered the final product yet, but they’ve made significant progress. In the beginning, I provided a complete project map. After reviewing and asking questions about the map, they made suggestions for the app’s functionality; 95% of which have been extremely valuable.

Code District has excelled with regard to professionalism, communication, and ability to add value to the product. They communicate thoroughly when we review the work they complete during each sprint. We communicate via email and meet weekly via Zoom.

I’m most impressed with their level of professionalism and communication.

I have nothing they could improve on; I’m happy with them.

I recommend taking the time to create a project flow upfront. That way, Code District can return to you with a litany of questions and ideas for the product's functionality before commencing development.

We asked Code District to build a demonstration prototype of a new online platform and mobile app. We started with the assumption it would take 16 to 20 weeks. Given none of us had been through the process before it took around 30 weeks.

They were very disciplined in the project management process. Definitely kept everything on track. They also showed great patience and flexibility working with our non-tech-oriented partners.

Everyone seemed to be in sync as far as their process was concerned and could not have been more personable and generous with their time.

Not really

I'm the cofounder of Canonizer.com social media consensus building and tracking system.

One of 3 teams to help Develop and maintain Canonizer.com and related software.

Flexible (willing to line up with our bottom up, not top down culture, not the reverse). They're expert software engineers that understand how to produce scalable corporate software.

Our current system is referred to as Canonizer 2.0. But it is not scalable, buggy, much of the required functionality is missing, and it is hard to use. Code district helped us completely redesign a 3.0 system from the ground up, which is fully functional and scalable.

Ali Ehsan is the project manager and Architect. he provided the key techniques (using Mongo DB as a cashing system) to scale. After that there are 8 front and and back end engineers, all of who are very experienced and productive.

After less than 1 year we are about ready to launch the completely rebuilt 3.0 system.

In addition to code district, there are two other contracting companies we work with. The project managers on the other teams are pushy, seeking to make things happen the way they want.

They are a technically skilled team, and able to work with other teams.

It's not a requirement, but it is always nice when people use, and contribute to the content on Canonizer.com, in addition to just developing and supporting the software.
