Frequently asked questions

Which collaboration model should I choose if requirements are clear and changes are minimal?

Choose the Budget & Timeline model — predictable budget, clear deadlines, defined scope, and end-to-end ownership without management overhead.

How do we work if the project has evolving needs and an open scope?

Use the Time & Material model — adaptive planning, easily scalable resources, transparent costs, and continuous value delivery.

How can we accelerate adoption of a new technology in our team?

Pick the Upskilling & Augmentation model — pairing with your engineers, hands-on delivery of production-ready features, and structured knowledge transfer.

What tech stack does Nerds use for custom software development?

We are polyglot engineers. Our primary stack includes React, .NET Core/C#, Node.js, and TypeScript for application development; Kubernetes, Terraform, and Docker for infrastructure; AWS, Azure, and Firebase for cloud; and Solidity for blockchain. We pick the right tool for the domain — not the other way around.

Where is Nerds based, and do you work with international clients?

We are based in Sibiu, Romania, and have been delivering software since 2012. We work with clients across Europe, the UK, and the US through a remote-first, timezone-flexible collaboration model. Our team of 25+ engineers operates in English as the default working language.

How long does a typical custom software project take?

It depends on scope and complexity. An MVP typically takes 8–12 weeks. A full platform build or modernization engagement ranges from 3–9 months. We start every project with a discovery phase to define scope, architecture, and realistic milestones before committing to timelines.

What industries does Nerds specialize in?

We have deep domain expertise in renewable energy (DERMS, SCADA integration), video streaming platforms (DRM, low-latency delivery), blockchain and DeFi, manufacturing automation (PLC, MES/ERP), and travel/booking platforms. We also serve fintech, healthtech, and SaaS companies.

How do I get started with Nerds?

Schedule a free discovery call. We review your goals, constraints, and success criteria, then propose the right delivery model — project-based ownership or team augmentation — along with a clear roadmap. No commitment required to start the conversation.

What is the difference between project-based delivery and team augmentation?

Project-based delivery means we own the outcome end-to-end — scope, architecture, implementation, and deployment — against a fixed budget and timeline. Team augmentation embeds our engineers into your existing squads on a time-and-material basis to accelerate your roadmap, tackle tech debt, and transfer knowledge without heavy handover.

Do you provide ongoing support after a project launches?

Yes. We offer post-launch support including monitoring, bug fixes, performance optimization, and iterative feature development. Many of our partnerships extend well beyond the initial build — our longest client relationship spans over three years of continuous collaboration.
