Building with AI is fast.Shipping software that actually works isn't.

Most teams glue together AI-generated code, skip QA, push to production, and find out about the bugs on Monday. We built Hashorn because that's not engineering, it's hoping.

Three disciplines, one team

Most studios pick one. We do all three, together.

Build

AI-driven development

We turn ideas into working products in weeks.

  • MVP & SaaS
  • Web & mobile
  • Legacy modernization

Test

Quality engineering

We make sure AI-built software actually works.

  • Manual + automation
  • AI-assisted QA
  • E2E + performance

Secure

Security engineering

We catch the bugs that get people fired.

  • Secure code review
  • API & cloud security
  • DevSecOps

01 · Build

Faster product development, without losing the plot.

Our engineers ship with AI assistants for code generation, review, and refactor, paired with humans who own architecture, taste, and the weekly demo. You get speed AND someone you can hold accountable.

  • MVP development
  • SaaS product engineering
  • Web & mobile apps
  • Legacy modernization with AI
  • Internal tools and AI agents

02 · Test

Quality assurance that keeps AI-built products honest.

Speed without testing is just faster regressions. Our QA engineers write the tests that AI can't be trusted to write itself, and run them on every commit, every release, every regression.

  • Manual + automation testing
  • Regression suites
  • Performance & load testing
  • End-to-end product testing
  • AI-assisted test generation
  • Dedicated QA pods

03 · Secure

Security-first delivery, not security-as-an-afterthought.

AI generates code at the speed of light. AI also generates vulnerabilities at the speed of light. We build threat modeling, secure code review, API hardening, and cloud configuration audits into the same sprint that ships features.

  • Secure coding & code review
  • Application security audits
  • Vulnerability testing
  • API security
  • Cloud & DevOps security
  • DevSecOps integration

Hashorn product

Every Hashorn client gets BuildOS. The AI workspace that turns meetings into shipped sprints.

BuildOS is the project-management product we built for ourselves and our clients. Paste a meeting, get structured requirements, an AI-planned sprint, tasks with QA + security checklists, and a copy-paste developer prompt ready for Claude Code or Cursor. One workspace, two surfaces, your team sees only their projects; Hashorn's back-office runs the engagement.

  • AI meeting → requirements
  • AI sprint + task planning
  • QA + security baked into every task
  • Copy-paste prompts for Claude Code / Cursor
Explore BuildOS

Provisioned per engagement. Not self-serve, see how to get access.

The proof-of-value approach

Every engagement follows the same arc, diagnose, pilot, scale.

No twelve-week discovery decks. Two-week diagnosis, real-work pilot, then your team takes over.

Why Hashorn

We don't just claim. We prove.

  • One team, three disciplines

    No vendor handoffs between dev, QA, and security.

  • Senior-only delivery

    Average engineer experience: 6+ years.

  • Weekly demo cadence

    You see working software every Friday, not at month-end.

  • AI as a tool, not a marketing line

    Concrete: AI PR review, test gen, threat-model assist.

  • Async-first, time-zone friendly

    Built for US, UK, EU, and ME clients from day one.
