Yo Briefcase

Software Development

Yo Briefcase are a software development and technical consultancy company from Northern Ireland. We have extensive experience working with clients to deliver high quality user focused solutions as well as providing in-house training and mentoring. Some of the key areas we specialise in are,

software development
cloud migration and devops
in-house and online training

We have a strong background in working with both private and public sector clients delivering solutions using a full stack approach to deliver solutions that are fit for purpose. We also strongly believe that the generalist approach to software development is essential to truly understanding both the "how" and the "why" of technologies, patterns and approaches so that projects are delivered with a focus on user needs rather than developer or team bias.

Our development skills cross the full stack from infrastructure to mobile and frontend work. We can work with a variety of languages and technologies in the JVM (Java, Scala, Clojure), Javascript and Ruby ecosystems. We are also actively involved in the development and support of many open source projects
