//About us

We like writing code.
And making things work.

OHTIC is an engineering team based in Barcelona. We build custom software and work with the Atlassian ecosystem for companies that need technology to keep up with them, not hold them back. No sales layers in between: you talk to the people who will do the work.

/*A note from Cristian

Why we started OHTIC.

I started OHTIC after years on projects where the people deciding and the people coding never spoke to each other. I wanted a place where that didn't happen: a team that understands the client's business and, at the same time, has its hands in the code.

I still review the technical proposals that leave this house. Not out of control, but because I wouldn't offer anyone something I wouldn't want for my own company. Today we work with companies in sectors as different as aviation, automotive, retail and media, and we still prefer an honest conversation to a pretty slide deck.

//How we work

What you can expect from us.

Nothing extraordinary. Just what should be normal on any project.

01

You talk to the people who code

From the first meeting to delivery, your contact is a technical person who knows the project. No intermediaries translating.

02

We tell you what we think

If a requirement doesn't make sense or there's a simpler way to get to the same place, we'll say so before we start, not after.

03

A clear team from day one

You know who will work on your project and with what experience. If someone is still learning, a senior is right beside them.

04

Short deliveries, no surprises

We'd rather show progress every few weeks than disappear for months and come back with one big release. Changes arrive on time and cost less.

//What we believe

Things we take for granted.

Which, in our experience, aren't always a given.

What we don't do

  • Sell hours

    We don't charge for warming a chair. We agree on scope and value, and if something gets solved quickly, that's better for both of us.

  • Fine print

    Our quotes say what's included and what isn't. If something changes along the way, we talk about it before we invoice it.

  • Reports nobody reads

    We document what's needed for the project to be understood and maintained. The rest is working software.

++

What we do

  • Take care of the code

    Architecture, tests and maintainability. We treat it as if we'd have to maintain it ourselves in five years, because we often do.

  • Question with respect

    If we think there's a better way to reach your goal, we'll tell you. The final decision is always yours.

  • Stay around afterwards

    When something breaks, we answer. And when it doesn't, too: the relationship doesn't end at delivery.
