What CTOs Say About Smartbrain.io
Speed that mattered. Within 48 hours Smartbrain.io embedded a senior JavaScript engineer into our edtech platform payment engine squad. He optimised our Stripe webhook handlers, refactored the Node.js micro-service, and delivered TypeScript unit tests. Ramp-up was seamless and our sprint velocity jumped 26 % while my core team stayed focused on new curriculum features.
Michael Carter
CTO
LearnSphere Inc.
Flawless integration. Smartbrain’s vetted JavaScript duo slotted into our React/Express stack and solved a thorny edtech platform payment engine integration with Braintree. Onboarding took one day; productivity was instant. Chargeback rate fell 18 %, and we closed our feature gap without pulling core devs off the roadmap.
Ava McKenzie
VP Engineering
HealthPro LMS
Milliseconds saved revenue. The Smartbrain.io JavaScript architect migrated our legacy callbacks to async/await micro-services and introduced Redis caching. Checkout latency on the edtech platform payment engine dropped by 37 %—just in time for peak semester enrollment. Zero disruption, full Git workflow alignment.
Daniel Brooks
Head of Platform
FutureLearners Corp.
Audit passed first try. Our Smartbrain-provided JavaScript security specialist patched tokenisation gaps, set up automated penetration tests and documented controls. The edtech platform payment engine now meets SAQ-D without adding in-house compliance staff—saving $120k annually.
Sophia Nguyen
Security Lead
CredU Solutions
From concept to live in weeks. Two Smartbrain Node.js contractors built a modular subscription layer, plugged into our GraphQL API and React front-end. MRR grew 22 % after launch, and internal devs stayed focused on content rather than billing edge-cases.
James O'Neil
Product Owner
SkillForge Media
No midnight alerts. We augmented with a Smartbrain SRE/JavaScript hybrid who autoscaled our payment engine lambdas and integrated CloudWatch alarms. Peak-hour errors fell 93 %. The engagement proved how painless elastic capacity can be with the right outsourced talent.
