About Us
We're a boutique software company made up of Google Cloud engineers and architects who are passionate about bringing the best product discovery solutions to online storefronts.
Nimstrata comes from the word “nimbostratus.”
Nimbostratus clouds are responsible for the powdery snow in Utah where Jason and Sebastian first met.
Mission & Principles
We build and maintain enterprise solutions that help ecommerce merchants deploy Google's AI-powered product discovery solutions. Here's how we do it:
- Always be asking,
- "What can we be doing better?"
- Take responsibility.
- We aim to take all the blame and distribute all the praise.
- Be intentional.
- We turn down engagements that are not a good fit and charge fair rates.
- Get to production.
- Building CI/CD pipelines early in projects ensures a smooth delivery.
- Build small teams.
- We assemble teams of smart people, give them well-articulated objectives, and let them get to work.
- Always be communicating.
- Good project management is good communication. We define waterfall and build agile.
