Background & History

Founded by Software Veterans

Founded in 2018 by veteran software engineer Alex Nordlinger, Materialize focuses on building high quality, performant applications using the latest tools and technologies. Having built large software development teams and simplified processes for employers, Alex realized he could apply his knowledge and skill set to a broad set of clients through his own software development studio.

Materialize was founded with a simple purpose - to provide expertise in building highly functional digital products using uncluttered processes and systems. Software development should be fun, collaborative, painless, and uncomplicated.

Approach and philosophy

Never Re-invent the Wheel

Materialize specializes in writing clean, testable, and structured code using open source tools, technologies, and frameworks. Using design and programming methodologies that emphasize performance and maintainability, we pride ourselves on building beautiful products, both on the outside and underneath the hood.

Modularity is our most effective tool and resource. Our ability to spin up features and functionality quickly is due to our reliance on using prebuilt components as well as using existing services and systems. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel, and this allows us to provide reliable functionality that is cost effective and time-saving. Additionally, Materialize thoroughly documents and writes unit tests for posterity, smooth development, and developer onboarding.
