Pod-Based Delivery.
Each engagement is staffed with a dedicated pod: senior full-stack engineers, a technical PM, and embedded design. Pods ship weekly, maintain a single prioritized backlog, and operate with high autonomy.

AI-Augmented Workflows.
Our teams use AI tools throughout the development lifecycle—code generation, testing, documentation, design iteration, and analysis. This isn't cosmetic; it's how we deliver 2-3x output per person without sacrificing quality.

Founder-Level Oversight.
Every pod includes strategic guidance from Gumbo's leadership. Architecture decisions, technical direction, and delivery quality are never delegated to junior staff.
