Austin · Texas

Premium US quality.
Offshore prices.

For twenty years the deal was: American engineers or affordable software — pick one. AI-native engineering ended that trade. OOM Hexception builds custom software from Austin, Texas at a fraction of what the same work cost last year.

Same senior engineers. A fraction of the hours. No hand-offs across ten time zones. No data leaving the country. No choosing.

What we build

Custom applications

.NET / C#, modern web front ends, APIs and integration, data platforms — new builds, enhancements, and modernization of the systems your business runs on.

Cloud architecture

Microsoft Azure, AWS, Kubernetes. Re-platforming legacy applications, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud cost engineering.

AI & machine learning

Applied ML for risk and prediction, LLM products and agentic systems — grounded in a U.S. patent in machine-learning prediction, not slideware.

DevSecOps

CI/CD pipelines, automated test generation, release engineering — the delivery system that keeps quality high while velocity climbs.

A fraction of last year's cost

Most teams bolted AI tools onto old habits. We rebuilt delivery around them. Code, tests, and documentation are generated with AI tooling we build ourselves — then reviewed and owned, line by line, by senior engineers who have shipped for two decades.

The math is simple: the same scope in a fraction of the hours. On fixed-price work, that's a lower bid. On any work, it's faster delivery, tighter quality, and a team in your time zone — not a ticket queue on the other side of the planet.

Offshore development was always a workaround — for cost, never for quality. When US-based engineers with AI leverage hit the same price point, the workaround is over: the accountability stays here, the payroll stays here, and your data never crosses a border.

Who you'll work with

Eric Hexter — Founder & Principal Engineer. Fifteen years as a startup CTO across fintech, AI banking, and safety technology — hands-on architect and engineer the entire way. A Texan who has driven this state border to border, and wants its software built the same way its roads are: here, by people who use them.

  • U.S. Patent 10,825,109 — machine-learning prediction of financial outcomes
  • Microsoft MVP, ASP.NET (2009–2017)
  • Co-author of three professional ASP.NET MVC books
  • Architecture and delivery for a venture-backed AI banking platform serving a top-10 U.S. bank pilot

Public sector

OOM works with government agencies and public-sector primes as an Austin-local subcontractor and direct vendor: senior application development, modernization, and AI engineering under government security and data-residency rules — on-site or onshore-remote, background-check ready.
