Founded in 2023

Engineering access
for growing businesses.

Modern Methods helps small and mid-sized businesses use AI, automation, and practical technology to operate more efficiently—without the cost or commitment of building a full-time engineering team.

How we started

Built by lifelong friends around a shared idea.

Modern Methods was founded in 2023 by a group of lifelong friends who saw the same gap from different sides of business and technology: growing companies face complex operational problems, but many are not ready to hire a full-time software engineer, automation specialist, data professional, or technical team.

At the same time, AI and automation were creating powerful new ways to reduce repetitive work, connect information, and help people make better decisions. Too often, those capabilities felt built for large enterprises with large budgets—not the small and mid-sized businesses that could benefit from them most.

We started Modern Methods to bridge that gap. Our clients gain direct access to people who can understand the business problem, design the right approach, and build the solution—without having to create an internal engineering department first.

Our purpose

Technical depth without building an internal department.

We act as a practical extension of your team. That can mean improving one frustrating workflow, connecting systems that do not communicate, automating a manual process, creating an internal tool, or building reporting that gives leadership a clearer view of the business.

Our role is not to introduce technology for its own sake. It is to bring the technical thinking and hands-on delivery that growing businesses need, scaled to the problem in front of them.

What we believe

Modern tools should be useful, accessible, and grounded in the business.

The way we work matters as much as what we build.

Access matters

Smaller organizations deserve the same quality of technical thinking and execution available to larger companies.

Business first

We understand the process, people, and desired outcome before recommending AI, automation, or software.

Practical by design

We build right-sized, maintainable solutions that create value without unnecessary complexity.

People stay central

Technology should remove repetitive work and give teams more time for judgment, relationships, and meaningful work.

Who we help

For businesses that have outgrown the manual way of working.

We work with small and mid-sized organizations that want to improve operations but do not need—or cannot yet justify—a full-time engineering team.

They may be scaling faster than their processes, relying on spreadsheets and repetitive data entry, gathering reports by hand, or asking employees to move information between systems all day. We help turn those points of friction into focused, maintainable improvements.

A team across the United States

Our team members work across multiple U.S. time zones, giving us the flexibility to coordinate around client needs and keep projects moving. Geography and time differences are rarely a barrier to clear communication or dependable delivery.
