For the way you work.
Custom software built by a development partner with decades of hands-on engineering experience and best-in-class modern tooling. The right solution, faster, at a fraction of the typical cost.
Get in touchBuilt around what you actually need — informed by decades of knowing what works and what doesn't.
Full-stack applications built for how your team actually works — responsive and mobile-friendly from the start. Dashboards, internal tools, customer-facing platforms — functional, fast, and maintainable on any device.
Connect the tools you already use. Syncing platforms, building a new API, or wiring third-party services together — your systems, working as one.
AI where it actually helps. Intelligent features built into your software — not hype, but practical automation that saves time and reduces manual work.
Get your data under control. Pipelines that collect, clean, and move your data where it needs to go — so you can stop wrestling spreadsheets and start making decisions.
Not sure what to build? Architecture reviews, technology selection, and honest guidance about where to invest your budget — before a line of code gets written.
No mysteries, no handoff chain, no scope surprises. You work directly with the person building your software.
Your business, your problems, your definition of success. Everything starts with listening. No assumptions.
A clear scope, realistic timeline, and honest assessment of what to build first. You know exactly what you're getting.
Iterative development with regular check-ins. You see working software early and often — not a big reveal at the end.
Launch isn't the end. Ongoing maintenance, fixes, and evolution as your needs change. The software grows with you.
Backchannel Software is a Baltimore-based development studio led by Johnny Boursiquot — a seasoned engineer with decades of experience building software across industries, stacks, and scales.
The approach is simple: pair deep engineering experience with best-in-class modern tooling to deliver custom software faster and at a fraction of the typical cost. Every decision along the way is backed by real-world experience — from what to build, to how to build it, to keeping it running.
No agency overhead. No ramp-up time. Just well-built software from someone who's been doing this a long time.
Whether you have a clear project in mind or just want to talk through an idea, reach out. No sales pitch — just a conversation about whether it's a good fit.
