We’re enabling app development that’s faster and better.
Less costly, too!
Our mission began over a decade ago.
PHASE 2 INDUSTRIES WAS BORN
in the Silicon Valley in early 2007 out of a strong desire to deliver world-class technology solutions to clients looking for something different. Something better. Something they were not able to achieve on their own.
That desire quickly turned into a demonstrated capability – building technologies that both excite and delight the end customer while delivering the right solution for the needs of our clients. And along the way that experience has led us to develop tools to iterate faster and produce final results more efficiently.
In other words, we’re making good on our promise to turn our clients’ raw ideas into real, usable, and enjoyable software experiences.
So when we say that we can help you move your projects beyond the ordinary to become truly extraordinary, we mean it – backed by our hands-on, in-the-trenches, ever-evolving work experience across a broad base of industries and applications.
PASSION. EXPERIENCE.CURIOSITY. COMMITMENT.
These are the essential ingredients that power our client projects and enable us to achieve success in building out software applications.
Collectively they help us create significant value for our clients, designing and delivering apps that make much more of an impact than originally planned.
And it all starts at the top with our two co-founders, who are the primary drivers of our success.
We thought you’d like to know a little bit more about them, as they directly influence our entire organization and every client project we work on.
Steve Schalkhauser
Co-founder & CEO
With over 20 years of software management and development experience, Steve brings a proven track record for developing innovative mobile, Web and retail products – on-time and on-budget – to every client project at Phase 2. During his career he has managed distributed development teams and multiple simultaneous software projects (and business relationships) for our clients, which makes him the perfect hands-on CEO for our company.
Steve’s technology experience includes: iOS and tvOS mobile apps; Android mobile apps; native desktop apps for Windows and Mac platforms; server-side Java apps; and PHP/JavaScript Web apps.
If there’s a technology needed in order to better build a software application, Steve has most likely utilized it, and he is always on the hunt for the next-gen software development tools that can further enhance and evolve the projects driven by Phase 2.
As one of our clients recently noted, “Steve is one of the best all-around software engineers I’ve ever worked with. There’s no wasted time or money when working with Steve, as he always finds a way to make things happen very efficiently, and do them well.”
