About Slashdev

Two Founders. One Accountable Team.

We started Slashdev to build production software the right way: senior engineers on staff, a fixed price before we write code, and the founders on every project.

About Us
Michael Ballard and Patrich Soderstrom, founders of Slashdev

Why We Started Slashdev/

We founded Slashdev to build production software the right way. With decades of combined experience shipping scalable applications and leading engineering teams, we assembled a world-class software team that delivers execution, not excuses.

We work directly with every partner at Slashdev and we are selective about who we partner with. When you work with us, we promise to do everything in our power to make your project a success.

Founder and CEO

Michael Ballard

Michael studied machine learning at the University of Washington in 2016, before most companies had an AI strategy. He co-founded Slashdev to build production software with a senior, accountable team, and he still works directly with every client from the first brief to launch.

Founder and CTO

Patrich Soderstrom

Patrich spent more than ten years as a systems administrator, running the production systems other teams depended on. He is passionate about building software and technology, and he brings that operations discipline to every build: sound architecture, clean deployments, and systems that stay up.

We only take on projects where we know we can deliver exceptional results.Michael and Patrich, founders
How we work

What You Get With Slashdev

The four things that make working with us different from hiring a freelancer or a large agency.

Senior Engineers On Staff

Senior engineers who've shipped at Google, AWS, Deloitte and Accenture — hired full-time, not rented per project.

AI-First Development

Every engineer is trained in Claude Code and agentic development, shipping production code far faster than a traditional team.

Fixed Price, Agreed Upfront

Scope, architecture, timeline and price agreed upfront. $0 to get started and no surprises at the end.

Founders On Every Project

You work directly with the people who run the company, not an account manager three steps removed from the code.
