Three decades on the front line
Expertise you can trace back thirty years
ITFriends was founded in 2006 — but the experience behind it runs far deeper. Our founder and senior engineers have been shipping mission-critical software since the mid-1990s, across railways, telecom, big data, national healthcare, and enterprise finance. A few of the milestones that shaped how we build:
- 1994–1995
Microelectronics R&D
Riga Aviation University · Latvia
Built software that automatically designed switched-capacitor electronic circuits — science-grade work that laid the foundation in C/C++ and object-oriented design, and led straight to a systems engineering role at the national railway.
CC++ - 1995–200050M tons of freight / year
Latvian Railways
Riga · Latvia
Dozens of mission-critical systems for train movement, container logistics, customs integration, and strict-accountability freight documents — moving 50 million tons of cargo a year. First in the organization to ship production software on Windows, Delphi, and DB2.
Borland C++DelphiDB2 - 2000–20021,000,000 users
High-load web platform
United Kingdom
Engineered the accounting module for a paid web platform serving a million users — learning to build for eBay- and mobile.de-scale traffic before 'scale' was a buzzword.
ASPPHP - 2002–2004100,000,000 calls
Telecom billing
Germany
Real-time billing across a hundred million calls for one of the pioneers of IP telephony — mastering Microsoft .NET and MS SQL at extreme data volumes.
C# / .NETMS SQL - 2004–2010120,000,000 properties
RealtyTrac, Inc.
California · USA
Designed the big-data platform that managed and stored data on 120 million U.S. properties. Grew from engineer to lead of a 12-person team — and the first of many long-running U.S. engagements.
ASP.NETMS SQL - 2008–2013Mercedes-Benz · McDonald's
Mindflash
Santa Barbara, California · USA
Learning SaaS used by Mercedes-Benz, McDonald's, and hundreds of other brands — and the source of the Agile, Git, and single-page architecture practices we brought home to Riga.
.NETAngularNode.js - 2014–20152,000,000+ citizens
National e-Health system
Latvia
Consultant and analyst on Latvia's national health platform — dozens of modules connecting over two million citizens with doctors, pharmacists, and specialists across the country.
.NETAngular - 2015–2025100,000+ members
Enterprise ERP for a private club
Miami, Florida · USA
Built from scratch and still in production today: an ERP running 100 business processes for one of America's largest private clubs — over 100,000 members, from finance and billing to restaurants, hotels, and on-site security.
.NETMS SQLERP - 2006 → Today100+ senior engineers
ITFriends.AI
Riga · Sweden · USA
Everything above now lives in one network: 100+ senior engineers who have worked together for 10–20 years, delivering enterprise-scale software — and embedding AI into every build.
AI IntegrationCustom Software
That's the difference thirty years makes: when your project lands, we don't recruit strangers — we assemble a team that has already solved problems like yours, at scale, in production.
Where we are today
Our team brings together skilled professionals from diverse international backgrounds. Many of our senior developers began their careers in the 1990s, gaining hands-on experience during the early stages of the digital transformation, while newer team members have grown alongside the rise of modern artificial intelligence technologies.
This blend of deep industry expertise and fresh, AI-driven perspectives allows us to deliver innovative, forward-thinking solutions. We incorporate artificial intelligence into every project, enhancing development speed, optimizing costs, and ensuring high-quality results.

Long-Term Clients
Trusted by software companies that ship at scale
We've delivered for engineering organizations with 60+ developers — partnerships measured in years, not sprints.
Long-term client relationships are our strongest reference. We're happy to put you in touch directly.
How We Deliver
ITFriends is a boutique that consults, assembles the right team from a vetted network, and stays accountable through delivery.
Consult & Estimate
Our CEO and senior engineers run discovery: scope, architecture, and a clear fixed-price or T&M proposal — no guesswork, no surprises.
Assemble the Team
We pull from a 100+ engineer network we've worked with for 10–20 years. The team is sized to the project — never recruited from strangers, never offshore juniors.
Execute & Own Outcomes
ITFriends stays accountable end-to-end: weekly demos, code in your repos, production handoff, and post-launch support. Zero abandoned projects in 20 years.
This model is why we can take on enterprise-scale work without enterprise-scale overhead — and why our delivery doesn't bottleneck on any single person.
What Makes ITFriends.AI Different
Three things our clients tell us they don't find elsewhere.
AI-First Engineering
Every project considers AI integration from day one — not bolted on as an afterthought. Our engineers design with AI in mind, so the solution we ship is built for the way software is built today.
Senior Talent, Embedded
A small team of senior engineers — no offshore juniors hiding behind a manager. We embed with your team like Forward Deployed Engineers, attending your standups and owning outcomes.
Strategy to Production
We don't stop at proof-of-concept. We ship to production, integrate into your systems, and stay to maintain what we build — so your investment keeps paying off after launch.
Our Impact in Numbers
Two decades of delivering software that ships and stays in production — backed by a network of senior engineers we've worked with for years.
