What The House Of Code does

The House Of Code (legal entity THOC Limited) is a Belfast-headquartered professional services firm specializing in native mobile application development, technology consulting, and code audit services. The company was founded in 2019 by Robert Baran, Jakub Silarow, and Michał Kachel, and currently operates with approximately 25 employees split between Belfast and Cracow, Poland. Its delivery model centers on customized iOS and Android applications using native stacks (Swift, Kotlin, Java, Objective-C) with backend services on Node.js, PHP, and AWS, alongside platform-specific integrations including Android Auto, CarPlay, Apple TV, Chromecast, and AirPlay.

Service offerings are organized into three lines: Mobile App Development (discovery workshops through MVP and continuous improvement), Consulting Services (technology strategy and team augmentation), and Code Audit (architecture, security, and UX review). Engagements are project-based and quote-driven, with multi-year contracts and CI/CD maintenance as part of the recurring layer. The company markets via content, Clutch reviews, and direct sales through its website, and serves a horizontally diversified client base across media streaming (Radio Nowy Świat, Polish Radio London, VOD Media Player), retail-automotive (Used Cars NI), maritime electronics (Navico, Maritime Electronics), healthcare (Covid Selfcheck), language translation (Invenire), and retail logistics. There is no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity; the firm remains founder-owned and self-financed.
