Who we are

A long-term technology partner, not a one-off dev shop

The people behind it

The same team, for the long haul

Ankush Shandilya

Founder & CTO

Leads the team and owns the technical direction on every engagement. Fifteen-plus years building, scaling, and modernizing software for founder-led businesses. He sets the architecture, reviews the work, and stays accountable for what ships, so you always have one senior person answerable for your product.

Shailja

Co-Founder, Operations

Steers the business side of Behind Methods, direction, priorities, and the long view of each client relationship. The reason the company thinks in years, not projects.

The extended team

Trusted remote specialists

Around the core, we bring in remote specialists when a project calls for them, people we have worked with before and who stay in our network. You always have one accountable owner, with the right hands added as the work needs them.

What we believe

How we keep clients for a decade

One accountable team

A stable team, led by Ankush as CTO, owns your architecture, code, and roadmap. No rotation, no anonymous subcontracting, one team that knows your product.

Safe by default

We modernize without a rewrite. Nothing ships without a migration plan, and releases are incremental and reversible, so your running product stays running.

AI-native, human-gated

Agentic AI does the heavy lifting; senior engineers review and own every change. The speed of AI with the judgment of an experienced team.

Built to last years

We take a small number of clients at a time and keep them for a decade. Our oldest partnership started in 2011 and is still active.

Why clients come back

Established in 2011, trusted across three continents

We have served startups and established companies across the USA, Canada, and Europe, with a 4.8 rating on Upwork since 2011. Clients return because we extend and modernize the products their business depends on, safely, and stay to keep them running.

Have a codebase you cannot afford to break?

Tell us what your business runs on. We will tell you, plainly, what we would modernize, what we would leave alone, and how we would keep it safe while we do it.
