About us

Founded in 2007, ST Development has been engaged in the field of scientific software development, delivering high-performance modules.

People at ST Development have backgrounds in various scientific fields, such as Materials Science, Physics, Geology and Engineering. Therefore, we combine the deep understanding of the customer’s requirements with the passion to write extremely fast, yet elegant and readable code.

During a development project, we install a very close feedback loop with our customer to ensure the outcome is as close as possible to the user’s needs. We not just formally follow Agile Project Management, we literally live it.

To enhance the visibility of the methods and algorithms that are developed, we also publish scientific papers together with the customer. These publications help gain the acceptance in the respective communities.

Decades of experience with development tools like Delphi, Visual Studio, XCode, Eclipse, and different programming languages, such as C#, C++, Python, Java, Turbo-Pascal, Objective-C, allow us to get up and running in a wide variety of development environments. With this in mind, migrating legacy code into state-of-the-art environments can be offered as well.
