About App Vitals

We're not here to preserve the status quo. We're here to navigate complexity and ship.

About Us

App Vitals is a 2-person AI-enabled team that delivers startup velocity for enterprise engineering organizations. We've navigated bureaucracy at companies like Uber, earned security clearances, and learned to ship at enterprise scale without enterprise bloat. When engineering leaders need to move faster than traditional processes allow, they call us.

Why Small Teams Win at Enterprise Scale

Enterprise companies need senior technical leadership that can navigate complexity and ship fast. We bring experience from Uber, Alto Pharmacy, and enterprise partners to execute strategic work at scale.

What makes us different:

Startup Speed Without Startup Risk

We navigate your security requirements, compliance processes, and approval chains. Then we ship production-ready systems while others are still scheduling kickoff meetings.

AI-Enabled Force Multiplier

Claude Code lets 2 people do what used to take 20. We're showing what's possible when you combine craftsmanship with AI velocity.

No Bureaucracy Infection

We don't adopt bureaucracy. We stay small, fast, and focused. Proof that enterprise scale doesn't require enterprise bloat.

Partnership Over Process

We work best with executive partners who clear obstacles. Your compliance requirements are constraints to work within, not excuses for delay.

Ship First, Perfect Later

Working software in production beats perfect plans in meetings. We deliver incrementally and iterate based on real feedback.

Measure Outcomes, Not Activity

Success is shipping features that solve problems, not story points completed or meetings attended.

Tired of Enterprise Slowness?
