/ about
A small studio for software that lasts.
XenneX LLC is an independent software studio based in New Orleans. We've been quietly shipping web, mobile, and cloud products since 2014 — apps with hundreds of thousands of downloads, services running across AWS and GCP, and the occasional game that refuses to stop earning installs.
What we do
We build product end-to-end. Architecture, code, infrastructure, release pipelines, the unglamorous parts. The same person who sketches the data model also takes the on-call page when the API misbehaves at 2am — which makes for boring on-call shifts and sturdy systems.
Stack-wise, we lean on what works: TypeScript and React/Next on the web; Ionic and native where it earns its keep on mobile; Node.js, Python, and Go on the server; AWS, GCP, and Azure depending on what fits. We're betting the next decade on AI-augmented development and infrastructure that takes it seriously.
