What Odev.tech does

Odev.tech is a privately held nearshore software development firm founded in 2010 by Esteban Salsano and headquartered in Montevideo, Uruguay, with additional offices in Tunbridge Wells (UK) and Chamonix (France). The company employs 37 senior engineers and designers and delivers custom software, mobile, and web development alongside a growing AI implementation practice, targeting primarily early-stage and growth-stage startups while also serving enterprise clients such as HSBC, Google, and Wunderman Thompson. Engagement models include staff augmentation, dedicated teams, and project-based delivery, augmented by a CTO-on-Demand advisory service and a four-stage AI Product Development Pipeline (Exploring Call, Diagnostic Sprint, AI Prototype/Workflow Pilot, Sprint Build) designed to validate AI use cases before full implementation.

The company's technology stack spans React, React Native, Flutter, Node.js, Angular, Vue, Python, .NET, Java, PHP, Ruby/Rails, Go, Solidity, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase, and Redis, with documented production experience in Web3 (GVNR, IXily), fintech (GlobalBlock), healthcare (Farmanuario with PostgreSQL vector embeddings), energy (Embark with offline-first mobile), and marketplaces (StringTree, Veeve). Pricing is quote-based with no public rates, anchored by a free 20-30 minute Exploring Call and week-long diagnostic sprints that convert into sprint-based or staff-aug engagements.

Odev.tech is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, generates revenue through professional and managed services billing, and distributes primarily via direct sales, accelerator partnerships (Founder Institute, TechStars, The Batchery, Silicon Valley in Your Pocket), and earned media including a Forbes Uruguay feature. The firm has supported 20+ startups in the last year and claims $10M+ in client savings in 2025 from time and hiring cost avoidance, positioning itself as a senior-talent alternative to in-house engineering build-out for resource-constrained founders.
