Montel Intergalactic Technology Expertise

Our superpowers

We have 12 very skilled and ambitious full-stack developers. All of them have at least 7 years of experience as software professionals. Most of our developers have 10-20 years of experience in coding for living and passion. That is not bragging, nor sales talk but the truth.

Also, our developers are motivated – and encouraged – to constantly learn and develop their skills. This is how we found ourselves in a situation where we needed to pause and have a closer look at what we actually are good at collectively as a company. So, our developers stopped coding for a moment to self-evaluate their skills, on a scale of 0-3. (Not an easy task for our modest Finnish full-stack code wizards).

This is what we learned.

We love Python

We at Montel know Python, and love Python. However, all our developers are also fluent with Javascript because, as said, they really are full-stacks. Our 12 full-stack developers are all top-skilled (score 3) Python and Javascript developers.

Apart from these, two favourite programming languages of ours, we have java and go experts, and an enthusiastic Elixir society lead by our CTO Lauri.

Django peeps

Talking about frameworks, we are very much Django people. (Now talking about the web framework for perfectionists with deadlines, not the unchained.) All our developers know Django at some level and almost all of them are top-skilled. Apart from Django, we master Rails, Express (for Node.js), and Phoenix (for Elixir), to name a couple more of our favourites.

Vue and React are our old friends, Flutter our new favourite

Our developers’ favourite tools to create the pretty and functional front ends are React and Vue. For React Vue our team has multiple top-skilled developers.

Apart from these we have a growing number of Flutter enthusiasts. (Flutter is a cross platform mobile application development kit . If interested in Flutter welcome to our Flutter Helsinki Meetup group!) On mobile development, we also have a couple of guys who rock React Native.

Kubernetes our sweetest honey

Our DevOps know-how is especially intriguing for you if you are interested in quality Cloud Management, or in other words, in MontelCare, our 24/7 monitoring and continuous infrastructure development service.

First, we know Docker very well. In practice, that means that we have 10 top skilled Docker users at Montel. We also have strong knowledge of AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure and UpCloud cloud platforms. And on top of these we have six Kubernetes experts with extensive experience and strong affection for Kubernetes. This goes beyond self-evaluation: we have Certified Kubernetes Administrators, Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architects, and we are a verified UpCloud partner company. Rancher is our current favourite technology for managing Kubernetes clusters.

PostgreSQL is our favourite database

Internet says that PostgreSQL is the world’s most advanced open source database. Good for us, since we are very good at it. All of us who master it, most of us at the very best level. We also developers top-skilled in other, such as MySQL and NoSQL, databases.

This was a quick introduction to the technology skills that Montel's intergalactic's full-stack developers have. If you could have use of some of our superpowers, do book a meeting with us.
