A small studio, serious about software
Leantegral is a custom software studio based in the Chicago area. We've been shipping Java, web, and mobile products together for over a decade ? some of them you've used without knowing our name was on them.
Built by engineers who still write code
Leantegral was founded by long-time Java engineers who wanted to build a firm that stayed small enough to keep everyone involved in real work. That's still the defining choice today: every engagement is staffed by senior engineers, and every partner still spends part of their week in the code.
We've shipped products for Fortune 100s and scrappy startups, rescued more stalled projects than we can count, and open-sourced the frameworks (JavaLite, ActiveJDBC) we rely on ourselves. Whatever the engagement, we try to leave the team better than we found it ? not just the codebase.
We're based near Chicago and work mostly with US and Canadian customers. Our team is fully distributed across the US and Eastern Europe.

The values we actually defend
Honest in the small things
We'd rather tell you "we don't know yet" than a confident lie. Estimates, risks, and bad news travel to you immediately.
Senior by default
You don't buy a brand and get a B-team. Every project is staffed by people who've shipped similar systems before.
Leave it better
Every engagement ends with the team we're leaving behind feeling more confident ? in their code, their process, and themselves.
