Why “Piragua”
The name comes from the Spanish word for canoe. It fits. Like a canoe, Piragua Consulting can get into places others cannot, providing lightweight, agile solutions that quickly meet business needs, all while leaving no wake behind.
We build software and keep it running.
Most days that means our own products. Some days it means custom development, agile delivery, or mentoring for a team that needs a senior hand.
Projects
Software we build and run ourselves. They keep us honest: we live with every decision we make.
When Works For You
Pick a few dates, let your guests weigh in, and choose the one that works for everyone. A simple way to schedule the next get-together.

Fundraisers your program can actually hear. Participants invite family and friends privately, with an optional recording, and every gift goes to the program.

Working with Piragua
Practical software for real businesses. We stay close to the work, ship in small steps, and leave you with something your team can run and understand.
Custom software development
Web applications and the services behind them, designed and built by the person who will also run them.
Agile delivery
Small increments, working software early, and honest conversations about scope and tradeoffs.
Mentoring and technical leadership
Architecture reviews, code reviews, and hands-on mentoring for teams that want a senior engineer in the room part time.
AI-assisted development
We use AI coding tools every day and can help a team adopt them well: where they speed things up, where they don't, and how to keep quality high.
