What We Do
Core Competencies
Custom application development
Web platforms, internal business tools, member and customer portals, and mobile applications — built around the way your organization already works rather than around a product's assumptions.
Legacy modernization
Migration of aging .NET, DNN and on-premises systems to supported modern frameworks and cloud hosting. Unsupported software is a security exposure before it is an inconvenience, and the migration is usually cheaper than the next audit finding.
Applied AI integration
Document intelligence and data extraction, semantic search, automated reporting and briefings, and workflow automation — wired into the systems your people already use.
Data conversion and document digitization
Image processing, OCR, and structured extraction from unstructured records. The filing cabinet, the scanned PDF, and the thirty-year-old database all become something you can query.
Accessible web development
Built to WCAG 2.1 AA — the standard required of state and local government sites under ADA Title II. Accessibility is part of how the thing is built, not a remediation project bolted on after launch.
Systems integration
APIs, e-signature, payment processing, and third-party platform connections — so the systems you already pay for talk to each other instead of being rekeyed by hand.
Hosting, maintenance and support
AWS and Azure architecture, ongoing updates, security patching, and recurring support agreements. The work does not end at launch, and neither does the relationship.
Why Red Barn
Differentiators
You work with the people who build it
No account layers, no offshore handoff, no rotating staff. Principals write the code.
Nineteen years, and clients who stayed
Several relationships exceed fifteen years. Support does not end at launch.
Cost-first AI discipline
We price AI against the process it would replace before building it, at real volume. When ordinary code is cheaper, we say so and build that instead.
Enterprise architecture on call
A principal data and AI architect advises Red Barn on large-scale AI, data governance and cloud engagements.
Sized for small awards
Micro and small certified, P-card accepted, and structured to deliver work that larger integrators will not quote.
